Yes your FPS number might be marginally higher, but the difference likely won't be visible and there will still be hitches in the framerate when viewing things like large quantities of mobs. Inversely someone that's running a half decent gaming PC won't likely notice a difference. In this case, turning features off in Optifine and using a lower-resolution pack can make the game a lot more playable than it would normally be. If someone's running a total craptop then they probably need all the help they can get. There's also the issue of your own system. As such, even with a pure 1x resource pack the improvement will probably be pretty minimal. Entities, redstone, chunk loading, all of these and a bunch more will generally be bigger performance killers than your texture pack. Most of what bogs down Minecraft isn't the textures, but what's actually happening in the world.

Keep in mind this isn't the be-all end-all of boosts. Generally, this will lead to slightly better performance. With less to process, this frees up both RAM and processor for other things. What's happening is that by having smaller textures the game needs to hold less information in memory. Just cause I don't mind how they look, I'm more interested in the fps.ĭoes having only my blocks 1x1 and rest 16x help my fps? or is having the blocks 16x too cause no difference? I usually have a 16x texturepack, and edit the blocks to make them 1x1 or 4x4.
