Why FTB for PC is Running Slow?

Feed the Beast (FTB) is a multiplayer custom map for Minecraft that comes with heavy mods.

Even though it was first launched exclusively for solo play similar to SkyBlock, but later onwards the developers made it accessible for multiplayer mode also. Now, teams race against each other to overcome these challenges.

Many people who play Minecraft online have noticed that the game runs quite slow on their computers. There isn’t any specific reason available for this reason, so several broad-scoped factors can possibly be ascribed to this issue.

  1. Hibernating computer
  2. Too much junk being collected by Java
  3. Computer contains too much junk data
  4. Slow/ scratchy Internet
  5. Insufficient RAM in the computer
  6. Less amount of RAM dedicated to the modpack
  7. Malware in the computer

We have tried our best to provide a solution to all these problems in this article. So that when you start FTB map of Minecraft next time, you get high-speed loading and low FPS for your game.

Upgrade the RAM

All pro FTB gamers recommended 8GB RAM as the bare minimum for a smooth gaming experience. Though it is not a necessity, if your computer stutters or runs painfully slow, upgrading the RAM is definitely what you need to go for. The reason is quite straightforward as once you launch the server manager, you will have already dedicated around 4GB of RAM for running the game alone.


Re-download and Install FTB

If the above-mentioned options have not worked out, simply re-download and reinstall the game. Make sure that you rename the modpack folder and launch the game. Don’t add additional mods at this time.

Observe the game’s speed as well as overall performance. If the game runs smoothly, this means the sluggishness was occurring because of adding more mods.

 

Don’t Put Your System into Hibernation

By opting for hibernating the system, the OS captures an image and relaunches it once you bring it back to life. This takes up an enormous amount of RAM and it also decreases the system’s performance because the cache is already full with the system image. If you run the game, you will notice it will perform worse than before and will probably show high latency.

If you still want to put your computer in hibernation, restart it once you wake it up.

 

Scan Your Computer for Malware

There is a likelihood that your computer is infected with a malware that is causing Feed the Beast to go slow. To make sure any malware is effectively tackled, just download, install and subsequently run a full system scan with an anti-malware program.

 

Disconnect Internet and Launch

Some users have surprisingly pointed out that FTB runs slow if the computer is connected to the Internet. You can try to disconnect the Internet temporarily and then launch the game to check if that solves the problem.

 

Garbage Collection Problem

The Minecraft mod FTB is designed in Java, which means that Java automatically collects loads of garbage when the program is compiled. To clean off all the garbage, download the latest version of Java and then run G1 Garbage Collector. Here are more details on the garbage collector program.

 

Get a Minecraft Server Dashboard

Finally, get the Minecraft server dashboard to check the servers that are available. You can also use the Minecraft server dashboard for dedicating more RAM to the game.
