    Hi. To increase your FPS, I suggest to do the following:

    1: Do not use high-resolution texture packs.
    2: Change the graphics setting to 'fast' and turn off smooth lightning. Maybe shut off view bobbing as well.
    3: Try to allocate more memory. You may experience lag spikes when the minecraft is trying to free up memory.

    Hope this helps! :P

    1: Open your minecraft launcher.
    2: Click on 'Edit Profile'.
    3: Find the 'JVM Arguments' in the bottom. If it's not selected, select it. You should see something like -Xmx1G or so. Try to change it to -Xmx2G (If you have 3GB+ RAM or more, AND make sure you are using 64-bit OS) If there's not this argument, manually type in and enjoy.

    OMG.... Do you have that much? You must have at least 12GB memory to do that kind of thing or you can't launch... 4GB is far more than enough.

    it's not your processor, it's your sticks of ram on the motherboard.

    processors have nothing to do with ram. it's only in control with the graphics cards, if my processor is at something like 2.4ghz, then my gtx 780 will get bottlenecked and my fps will go down.

    tonnes.

    maybe your computer mechanic took 1 stick off. i have, 16gb, which means 2 sticks of 8gb ram.

    simply, because 8+8=16.

    (whats 9+10?

    21!
    )

    EDIT: wait, i realised you used a laptop, damn. uhm, ask your computer mechanic or something if you have one.

    have a good day

    half-true, half-false.

    On the sophisticated pc. Sometimes people like to allocate fps. but if you have atleast 4gb ram, it's pretty much not gonna work. dont put full load on fps with ram, (eg, collecting 16gb of ram when your pc's full load is at 16gb)

    Sometimes. Of course upgrading your GPU is always a better idea.

    Having >4GB of RAM will cause some latency problems and actually decrease your FPS.

    3GB is plenty already for very high texture packs and lots of entities.

    And for the love of God, let's clear this up now:

    Allocating/having more RAM doesn't mean higher frame rates. It's one of those PC beginner myths that must be eliminated.

    Basically^

    RAM doesn't do anything.
    It's about the Graphics card or whatever, If I'm correct.

    GPU, CPU, RAM, storage, temperatures, and monitors are the factors that affect frame rate. Of all of those, I think RAM is actually the smallest unless it bottlenecks the system :P

    But yea, GPU is the most important factor to take into account.
