Screen flickering in Minecraft

OK so a lot of questions like this have been asked but none of them help me out. So it isn't spam or anything. The WHOLE screen flickers, including the unity taskbar.

So, whenever I'm playing minecraft on my Ubuntu computer, the whole screen flickers. And when I have OBS opened, it flickers even more in the preview.

Specs that might help:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit, system up to date.
Intel Core i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.70GHz x 8
Intel Haswell Mobile graphics
16 GB RAM
HP w2207 monitor

May not help, but it doesn't happen on my other screen..

OK, I found the fix! While searching around the internet using different key words, I found this askubuntu question that fixed it for me! It says to install Intel drivers (I actually never knew how to do this. I know I sound stupid now.) and that fixed it for me! On some computers it may have a different fix, but I'm no expert.
