Hey guys!

Just thought of something for a CPU test.....

How about you get a CPU and run minecraft on the highest settings possible (of course this means all the shader mods and OptiFine running) and run it for 24 hours? Would it kill the Processor? or would it just get hot?

Oh this is under normal gameplay

Just a thought if minecraft can really be that demanding..

*if this seems to be nonsense then feel free to delete it... just wanna see if anyone has done this already..

Too be able to do this properly, you'd have to put a weight or something down on the "w" key, and make sure your flying. As If you are standing still, the chunk has loaded, and its mainly only using the gpu, for the visuals. If you want to use the CPU, you have to be moving, so the chunks are loading, because thats really the only place where the CPU is heavily used.

Well you can put a heavy piece of rock on the "W" key whilst flying, and of course if anyone is brave and daring enough to do this, it should run on integrated graphics and with a stock intel cooler.

If the computer is stable and 64-bit, it isn't a problem. Something like LinPack is far better for testing CPU stability than Minecraft. Hell, I play Minecraft with BOINC running (100% CPU load) all the time and the only symptom is an occassional jitter. Minecraft stays under 500 MiB of memory for me running at 1920x1200 and it really only uses two cores.


My server has grinded (left mouse click every second and mouse wheel up every 10 seconds) for over 24 hours before without problems. Oh, and that was also with BOINC running (100% CPU load).

well on 512mb of RAM and 32-bit system, it would be more challenging....

EDIT: how come my MC uses more that 500mb (on some occasions)... like after 3 hours of gameplay with 2 gb of ram my sister's lappy is starting to die with BSOD's and the likes

What version are you running? I noticed, especially with the graphing enabled, the memory usage can run up to 700 MiB but then it gets knocked back down to 100 or so. Even so, Minecraft is very unstable on 32-bit Java Virtual Machine because it is limited to 2 GiB of memory.

If you're getting BSODs, there's something wrong with the computer. A stable computer never BSODs.


Using 64-bit JVM, I have it allowed to allocate up to 4 GiB of RAM but it has never reached/exceeded 1 GiB of RAM according to the F3 stats. I suspect they don't account for graphics though.
