How could disabling sound increase framerate?
I was reading about frame rate on the Minecraft wiki and saw this:
Increasing FPS
Disable sound effects. This is particularly effective when near a large amount of sound-producing blocks (lava, flowing water) or mobs.
I tested this myself near both lava and flowing water, and near a mob farm. I couldn't notice any difference in the framerate with sounds turned off compared to sounds turned on.
In theory, how could turning off sounds effect framerate?
Best Answer
Sound will affect fps because, the game still has to process the sounds, which take a bit of RAM.
