Many gamers underestimate how heavy Minecraft, the iconic sandbox block game, can be on computers. The game generates vast infinite worlds that can stretch up to millions of blocks. Creating such extensive worlds filled with randomness puts a lot of stress on the processor.

Decent computers have no issues running Minecraft as it is a reasonably low-requirement game. However, players with older processors and less RAM usually have a tough time playing the game.

Fortunately, thanks to the fantastic MC community, there are many ways to get a nice bump in FPS. Players can use resources like custom clients, mods, texture packs, etc., to boost their frame rates. This article focuses on texture packs and shares some great packs for FPS increase.
