yes it is here. and i keep getting some lag when i play 1.7.2. i guess cuz of all them biomes. how many new ones are there. i haz only found 3 new biomes. ARG

It's been out for 2 days I think, but probably you need to activate snapshots updates to get them right away since they are considere in pre-release for a while.

MC wiki list of new features:

That wasn't an enchanted fishing rod. You were trying to fish with the flying broom of the witch you killed.

Well, still better than catching an enchanting fish.
"Kiss me I'm an enchanted fish and will turn into a princess"
"Nah, I'm antiroyalist, off into the pan with you, your Highness."

Hm, it lagged for me at the first try too. Then I reinstalled it completely (deleting everythin of the old version first). You could try reducing some of the new graphicssettings (like Anisoptric filtering).

The lag is caused by your config, 1.7+ should be smoother than before due to the improved code.

You should set the max FPS to something close (a bit higher) than your monitor refresh rate and use Vsynch to avoid tearing.

If you set it too high your machine will be wasting power over useless frames and potentially generating lag if it's already struggling to match your monitor refresh rate.

You can also set the precise number of chunks to be rendered around you instead of just "far" or "close" like before.

Go into options->video settings and you can see Render Distance and Max Framerate.

Your monitor is most probably going to have a refresh of 60 or 75, meaning that such number is the max FPS it can actually display.
Set the max framerate to something like 80 (just to be sure it's slightly above the refresh rate) and enable Vsynch.

When your hardware can't push out enough FPS to match your monitor refresh rate you'll see the game stuttering. If you set the max framerate too high, your hardware will try to reach that number but will stutter even more. You shouldn't go lower than 60 anyway.

If the hardware can actually render more FPS than your refresh rate without problems, you'll see screen tearing (annoying lines) and Vysnch will take care of that.

If it's still slow, try lowering the Render Distance (something like 8-9 could become annoying).
Again, setting a higher value will require more power so the game could be slower.


If the FPS is dropping drastically after a while check your CPU/Video card temperature because if it's too hot, it will slow down to avoid damage. That usually happen when there's a lot of dust or if you're playing on a laptop.

It could also be caused by chunk errors (that you can see in the console if you keep the loader active) but that bug should have been solved back in 1.6.2/1.6.4.
