💡 Minecraft (Java): Vanilla is CPU/draw-distance bound; shaders (e.g. BSL) or RTX make it very GPU-heavy.
Recommended settings
Render Distance12+7% FPS
How many chunks render around you - by far the biggest performance lever, and heavily CPU-bound. 12-16 is a good balance.
Simulation Distance6+6% FPS
How far the world keeps ticking (mobs, redstone) - a CPU cost. 8 is fine for most.
GraphicsFancybaseline
Fast trims transparency and leaves; Fabulous is the heaviest. Fancy is the usual middle ground.
Smooth LightingMaximumbaseline
Softer light gradients between blocks. Cheap; Maximum looks best.
ParticlesAllbaseline
Rain, smoke and effect particles. Minimal helps on weaker machines.
CloudsFancybaseline
Sky cloud detail. Off for a tiny gain; pure preference.
Mipmap Levels4baseline
Smooths distant block textures - essentially free, use the max.

Use a balanced preset, keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Render Distance and Simulation Distance down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
