Description

After one hour or more of playing Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.2 the frame rate suddenly drops to a sporadic 5-20 Frames per second (FPS).

Resolution

Running Minecraft (1.20.2) Java Edition with the following modifications causes the problem:

  • Complementary Reimagined (resource heavy) - throttled after 75 minutes
  • MakeUp - Ultra Fast (lightweight) - no data collected
  • Rethinking Voxels (extremely resource heavy) - throttled after 65 minutes
  • Miniature Shader (lightweight) - throttled after 45 minutes
  • Solas Shader (moderately resource heavy) - throttled after 80 minutes

Deactivate the shaders to ensure smooth performance during the longevity of the playthrough
