My page dedicated to minecraft.

Installation

Minecraft Client

• http://www.minecrafthasrunoutofmemory.com/13-ways-to-make-minecraft-run-faster/
  • Install Optifine
  • Allocate more memory
    however there is conflicting recommendations there. Probably garbage collector introduce big latency if lots of memory is allocated, whereas smaller memory will trigger the gc more often but with less work. There is an option however to trigger the gc incrementally (-Xinggc)
  • Run in windowed mode
    Sometimes MC freezes in fullscreen, but runs fine in window mode, even maximized!!!
  • Run 64-bit java / Change java provider
• http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/343030-minecraft-speedoptimization-guide-v-24-1-updated-on-mar-14-2013/
  • Play on "fast" and "tiny" graphics, turn off clouds, and use Advanced OpenGL
  • Don't Use texture packs bigger than 16x, which is the default resolution
  • Give minecraft more/less memory (384MB for vanilla, 512 when using lots of mods, 2048MB when 100 mods, lots of creatures, etc)
  • Update LWJGL! (LightWeight Java Game Library)

SEVERE: Failed to start the minecraft server

The solution was simply to remove the binding to dynamic-complete-history in the .inputrc file.
