    There can only be 3 strongholds in a seed last I checked so it must be a mod.

    That was upped to unlimited after some recent update. Or maybe that's just surface strongholds...

    As far as I know he didn't. He did make sure he got a seed that had a few fortresses but no mods or looking for particularly dense amount.

    He did make the nether much much bigger than he meant to though.

    Surface Slimes spawn in slime chunks, and with the flatworld generator, they can't spawn in caves so they are put on the ground floor, i believe.

    Still doesn't explain the massive spider.

    I wonder if it moves the same speed as a normal spider.

    So here is a quick question. How well will minecraft run on a pc that has a 2.8 Dual Core CPU with 4GB of Ram and a ATI Radeon HD 3000 integrated graphics card? I'm looking into getting this pc since i've been missing minecraft as of late and the xbox is starting to bore me, so i need a new toy.

    That's pretty close to what mine is before I put the graphics card in. It will run but not very well on any of the higher res t-packs.

    Would recommend getting a graphics card to go with it.

    And don't let these other monkeys fool you, you do not need the lasted octo-core with 32 gig ram and what not to run minecraft. It does run better but is over kill.

    I play on a 1gb of Ram, 1.6ghz laptop. It can barely run morrowind.

    Using Optifine and a simple (But sexy as hell) texture pack, I get about 20 fps on tiny.

    My cousin has a PC a lot like yours, but it's RAM is only 3GB. Minecraft still runs pretty decently on Normal render distance, and when he uses Optifine, he can be on far with 30 fps.

    I'm using a 4gb Laptop with no extra graphics cards or anything and it works fine. I even use Far render distance and I don't use optifine at all. I've got no idea what speed my CPU runs at.

    I run on a 2.6 Dual Core CPU with 4GB of Ram and a ATI Radeon HD 4300 and Minecraft runs great. I'm not sure how well your graphics card handles games, but if you run it on the absolute lowest settings (which aren't that bad) your computer should be able to handle it.

    I noticed when I swapped to 64 bit java performance improved significantly. I have a 2.7GHz dual core with 4GB allocated to java (8GB total in my computer). Graphics card is good but old. It runs beautifully with far on a 64 texture pack but at 128 it just chokes. I have modified system stuff so there much other crud running in the background.

    I have 3gb of RAM and a Radeon 4250 and I still get lag. I had a Radeon 3000 on my XP and it didn't work out well...but maybe that's because it has 512mb of RAM....

    That's pretty weird. Anyone know exactly what contributes to the running of Minecraft the most? I appear to have the worst rig in this thread, but I'm running decently smoothly on short render distance.

    That should be fine, although if you don't have much memory or a bad graphics card it could be a problem. That said not many computers come with a processor like that and a lousy graphics card.

    Edited by merge:


    Render distance makes a huge difference. I can run a 256 texture pack easily on a small render distance.
