I got really mad at this. On singleplayer, I seem to lag really badly. But when I go onto servers, I'm fine. I have 0.4.6 Minetest. Any help will be appreciated.

1) Update to 0.4.7
2) In singleplayer your computer is running a virtual server, and simulating you. So it is doing 2x the work in singleplayer.
Some Mods: Castles Prefab Camouflage
My Games: Nostalgia Realtest Revamped
Servers: See above games.

Lag isn't "slow performance", don't mix both. Lag is latency, while slow performance (low FPS) is just having a game that feels like a slideshow.

Because your client is actually running its own server in singleplayer, these settings may help with performance.

Menche: Thanks for those settings, seem to work. I still get a little slow performance (Thanks Calinou), but, hey, that does not bother me. :). And, Dan, thanks for that info. Technically, thanks for helping! :D
