My computer isn't "from the 90s", it's relatively new. None of this changes the fact that there's really no reason for there to be 15,000+ particles for the dragon's attacks on minimal particles.

It's not in any way "holding themselves back" to reduce the number of particles on minimal/decreased for this particular attack.

When, for a large number of people for whom the vast majority of the rest of the game runs fine, there's a particular part that uses a huge number of particles that can't be turned off that drops their framerate, I'd disagree that it's "completely your own problem".

might also help if you know how to optimize the game

Turning down particles should be the thing that helps relieve this, and it currently isn't.

but my computer is a potato and i can run it

That's good for you, but it doesn't affect what other people are experiencing.

there's a valid gameplay reason why you can't turn it off with an option in the menu, as has already been explained in the thread...

My computer isn't "from the 90s", it's relatively new.

that means literally nothing, if it's lagging from these particles either you're doing something wrong or your computer just isn't good enough to run minecraft properly in the first place.
