Hi,
First, I suggest you to use the brew build for your mac, it's simple and a great build.
Second, keep in mind Minetest use only 1 CPU core (almost always) so, many small cores you have, the less FPS you will have...
Finally, you can tweak the grpahical configuration and also your "minetest.conf" for more accurte configs
On my MacBook Pro 2011, i5 + 16GB RAM + HDD S2 i can play at 30 ~ 60FPS

Thank for your response!
I installed it from brew now. Still laggy. Would you mind sharing your settings so I can get it smoother?

Just add this lines to your minetest.conf :
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
- Code: Select all
wanted_fps = 30 #set to 60 if you want to try
viewing_range_nodes_max = 120
viewing_range_nodes_min = 120
connected_glass = false
smooth_lighting = true
mip_map = true
anisotropic_filter = false #desactivated because not beautiful at all
bilinear_filter = false #desactivated because not beautiful at all
trilinear_filter = false #desactivated because not beautiful at all
enable_shaders = true #set to false is you lag after this config

What do you call "crazy lagging" ?

I call it crazy lagging when you turn 90 degrees in any directions and to get there its about 15 random jumps. Moving forward or backwards is not lag-free but way smoother. The problem is always turning around with the mouse.
In short its unplayable. You try to focus on one block. But you moved a little passed it, then there is about 1 seconds delay to move the other way to get back to it.

The first post of the OS build thread says:
Looking around with the trackpad/mouse can become sluggish when the frame rate hits 60 fps. Increasing your fps_max in minetest.conf (e.g., "fps_max = 200") helps if this issue bothers you.
So, have you tried increasing fps_max?

Ok. It's client lag : low FPS. Sometimes it's caused by a too high viewing range. You can set the viewing range by pressing + or - (numpad). It's the distance, in blocks, of your vision. For me, the best is 150-200, but if you have a slow computer, you should reduce it. If your computer is not slow but it lags so much, there may be something to adjust.
There are very few Minetest players on Mac (
See this thread). There might be some problems that are not known yet.

Make sure cinematic mode is not enabled (F8).

I think my minetest.conf seems to be great for solved/tests the problem... Do you test your Minetest with this configuration file or not ?
