Every single world, whenever I go somewhere randomly, minecraft stops working. It makes the game unplayable.

Not the game itself, but the mobs stop moving, items stop droping and maps stop generating. It's like a Multi-player Crash, but Single-player.

Do all people get this? Or is it just me? Is there a fix?

I use Forge and a couple of mods.

Just did.Solved nothing.

Just did and it solved nothing.

 

As I said, it's not a FPS issue.

Well, sometimes it works

Well, sometimes it works fine. Sometimes  it lags like a crashed multiplayer server.

Single player is basically multi player anyway because single player launches a server to play on.

 

Maybe your computer just can't handle it?

I do not believe it's Minecraft

I haven't experienced any lagg on minecraft beta. My guess based on the situation you are discribing is that your graphics card is not capable of running minecraft smoothly.

You may want to try and update your graphic card drivers. I only know how to do this on PC so if you are using a MAC this may not be of any use.

On your computer, search for command prompt. Once the command promt loaded type "dxdiag" (without the qoutes of course) and hit enter. The computer should load up what components that are inside your computer. Click the tab that says video or something like that and you will be able to find what type of graphics card your computer has. 

Now as for updating your graphics card. Go to the website of the company that made your graphics card like (AMD or Intell) and try to find something that is worded like Support or Drivers. The company may even have something like find your driver.

By updating it could make everything go smoother then it is right now because graphic card softwear keeps getting better and better as the years go on.

Hope this helps

Memory Leak

Could be a memory leak or services.exe clogging up memory or CPU power.

 

When playing have task manager open with the processes tab in veiw and to the side of the window so you can see what's going on and what may be taking up recources. Let me know if you see anything odd.

 

ALSO: What OS (32 or 64bit?) are you running and have you updated video drivers and Java (including uninstalling and reinstalling)?

Does it help to have the view distance shorter? some 32bit PC's have trouble with the far view in minecraft.

 

Good luck.

It's nothing video

It's nothing video related. It's the game itself.

 

I don't experience any FPS drops and my game doesn't freeze. It jsut stops loading terrain/making any actions.

Found a fix.

If you are having server lag issues and not frame rate issues on your SP world in minecraft; this is a result of the 1.3.2 update which allowed players to connect with players on  their WIFI network, otherwise known as a LAN connection. I have found two fixes, both of which worked for me. The first one (not reccomended) is transfering your 1.2.5 server files into your 1.5.1 minecraft server files. This may disable you from playing minecraft on a multiplayer server however. Another method that I commonly use when I am getting server lag on my SP world it, changing the world to a LAN host in game. Then creating a copy of the world in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves with the LAN world still open.  Then delete the original world and replace with copy. Before this step though, you must close minecraft or you will recieve an error msg stating that you are unable to complete the action as Java is running the program in another window. Next thing you want to do, is re-open minecraft and join the copied world. Everything should be running normally. I hope this worked for you, and good luck if it didn't!smiley
