I'm not sure if this goes in this section although it is a rather important topic. I know many people that their minecrafts' have been auto-locked on 60 FPS. I myself have tried almost every setting, deleted all my mods and everything, and nothing seems to work.

If anyone knows what to do to save tons of people from this problem, please share below. Thank you.

I put vsync on. It just auto locks at 60 or 50 depending on how well your computer handles your other settings.

Thank you for the help. I will remember to tell everyone who had this problem about VSync.

VSync, or Vertical Synchronization, has nothing to do with the performance of your computer. It matches the refresh rate of your monitor. As in, a 30Hz monitor would lock your frames per second to 30 with VSync. A 60Hz would lock it to 60, and so on :p Just a small correction

Well yeah, that's what VSync does. It matches your framerate to the maximum refresh rate of your monitor. So say you were getting something like 140fps walking around in a game; if your monitor was a 60Hz, you could possibly see something called 'screen tearing' if you looked around a lot in-game. To prevent this, VSync drops your fps, or locks it, to 60.

I'm not using vsync.

The frame rate depends on the monitor you have. for some monitors its just 60 fps, on others its 120.
