I was eating lunch at school today, and while two guy sitting next to me were arguing about what would happen if Bruce Wayne fought Tony Stark in hand to hand combat, I was trying to think up a good topic for my next blog.

Lag and low frame rate are a problem for many Minecraft players, and often Optifine isn’t enough to improve gameplay. This tutorial is only for Windows 7 users. Sadly, I do not know how to do this for Mac or Linux. If you do not have a 64 bit computer, then this article will be of no use to you.

Mojang kicked it up a notch this week with some of their changes in this weeks snapshot.  Beacon blocks have been tweaked with a new animation.  Silverfish will now randomly spawn in Extreme Hills.. this could make for an interesting situation for the emerald hunters.  Witches have been added and Dinnerbone has confirmed they will be spawning naturally in swamp biomes.  Bats have been added as well and will even fly off to get a drink of water.
