On a AMD RX 560 (4GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Minecraft (Java) runs at roughly 45 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 33FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 560 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Minecraft (Java) is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it is playable at 1080p — about 45 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 33 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 45 FPS at 1080p and 27 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 15 FPS at 4K. Minecraft (Java) doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

💡 Minecraft (Java): Vanilla is CPU/draw-distance bound; shaders (e.g. BSL) or RTX make it very GPU-heavy.
Recommended settings
Render Distance8+14% FPS
How many chunks render around you - by far the biggest performance lever, and heavily CPU-bound. 12-16 is a good balance.
GraphicsFast+6% FPS
Fast trims transparency and leaves; Fabulous is the heaviest. Fancy is the usual middle ground.
Simulation Distance6+6% FPS
How far the world keeps ticking (mobs, redstone) - a CPU cost. 8 is fine for most.
Smooth LightingOff+3% FPS
Softer light gradients between blocks. Cheap; Maximum looks best.
ParticlesMinimal+2% FPS
Rain, smoke and effect particles. Minimal helps on weaker machines.
CloudsOff+2% FPS
Sky cloud detail. Off for a tiny gain; pure preference.
Mipmap Levels4baseline
Smooths distant block textures - essentially free, use the max.
