[BLOG] Minecraft Snapshot 14w29b - Time and Space Wrap!

Post by PredictedCyborg »

Another optimisation snapshot has been released today by Mojang, taking a completely different path from the last snapshot's methods of optimisation.



14w29a was released and instead of compressing time and space, this snapshot is said to 'bend space around time' in a step that they hope will up framerates in-game by 5 to 10%. It has done this by adding a new option to the video settings, VBO - Vertex Buffer Objects. It is listed as an experimental snapshot with the team interested in hearing mainly about problems relating to the game's performance. And to further the experimental side of this snapshot, the b version instead 'bends time around space' rather than the other way round.



A small update sure, but a little more FPS is never a bad thing, especially for those of us who enjoy screen capturing our adventures and exploits in the world of blocks.
