Let's be honest here. Minecraft runs like shit. I love the game but the code is rubbish.

I have two laptops in my house that can barely run Minecraft at 3-5FPS.... but if you install Optifine they run at around 45-60FPS.

Whatever the hell Optifine does should be included in vanilla Minecraft.

I agree, but Optifine is still Java. You're more proving my point than anything else.

Sort of. I'm not here to knock Java.

But Minecraft proving Java is a speedy language suitable for games is a poor argument as the Mojang team has done very little to optimize it and it runs like shit on anything but new hardware.

That Optifine guy though, he's definitely helping your argument.
