Minecraft Randomly Pauses

1 min read

Recently, I encountered a problem. It's not too serious but it can be a problem when it's AFKing. Occasionally, it will just slow down, as if I had hit Esc. It's happened several times during an AFK session, but more often it'll do it when I'm actually playing, such as mining or building something.



It's not a regular occurrence it happens every 20 minutes or so. Sometimes it will not happen for hours at a time, then twice in the space of 30 minutes. As far as I can discern, it's Minecraft that is doing this. Minecraft My PC isn't switching processes, or opening other apps , or anything else like that.



Edit: The game now pauses when you press F3+P command.



However, the game can occasionally "stop" randomly, and I haven't seen the window losing focus. My character stops moving when I move my mouse while holding the keys for movement. I can move my mouse to look around and click (use an item, for example) but I have to release the mouse and press the movement key once more in order to begin moving again. This would also affect my AFK fish farm, for example . randomly when I press the right mouse button and "use" my rod to move it, the input would be lost.
