How to display FPS in Minecraft

When you show FPS, you can determine if something is out of place. Ideally, you should have 60 and more FPS. If you notice that your FPS is around 30, this is a good indication that you need to make changes to your graphic settings.  

In this article, we will teach you how to show FPS in Minecraft and to improve it so that your game works better. 

How to turn on FPS within Minecraft

Perhaps the best and quickest way to show FPS in Minecraft is by pressing a few shortcuts. Most people don’t know about this feature, and it can be a bit hard to remember which button you need to press (given that most people rarely use this function). Here is how you turn the feature on:

• Click the F3 button
• If that doesn't work, you need to click on the FN button first, and while holding it, press F3
• A lot of information will appear on your screen, which can be a bit overwhelming. The FPS metric will be shown in the top left corner of your screen 

This is a really great solution that will also help you check some other stats.
