If you have a low-end pc and you can't live without games. Minecraft, is probably the best choice. Minecraft is a great game, you can build everything you can imagine. But sadly, you need more than a low-end pc to run Minecraft at a playable and decent fps (60 fps). I didn't have a good pc but I can run Minecraft in 60 fps and more. If you didn't care so much about your Minecraft fps and decided to leave it at 50 fps or lower, then this article is not for you.
UPDATE JAVA
Now I'm gonna show you how to optimize or improve your Minecraft experience. The first thing you should do is to check if your java was up to date. Because Minecraft runs on Java, so any issues with the general Java
installation and version on your computer will bleed through and cause
troubles with Minecraft ranging from decreased FPS to outright failure
to run.
First, if you’re running a 64-bit computer/operating system (many
computers these days are 64-bit) you want to run the 64-bit version of
Java. If you’re unsure, check the system settings of your machine.
Windows users can open a command prompt and type in:
wmic os get OSArchitecture
The returned value will indicate if the OS is 32 or 64-bit.
Second, make sure that version is up-to-date. As of the time of this publication, Java 7 is the general release of Java. You can run Java 8 to squeeze out even more performance.
Third, ensure you only have one copy of Java installed. Many
Minecraft players report issues when there are multiple copies of Java
(older versions alongside newer versions, 32-bit alongside 64-bit, etc.)
on their machines.
OPTIFINE
What is Optifine? Optifine is an optional content pack, called a "mod". There are different ways to install these, so look them up on the optifine. What it does is it boosts your framerate, and adds features
like zooming in on places, and also super-longer render distances (How
far you can see).
To download Optifine, visit this link: https://optifine.net/downloads
Make sure you click the latest version of Minecraft supported by
Optifine (currently 1.8.4), Optifine won't always have the latest
version of Minecraft compatible, so just download the latest version
available.
Next click Download, you will sadly be taken to an ADF.ly link, so make sure your cookies are turned on otherwise it won't work, and make sure you don't click any of the adverts on the page but as long as you click Skip Ad then you'll be ok. You have to wait 5 seconds and then the Skip Ad button will appear in the top right corner of the webpage.

Once you've clicked Skip Ad then click the text surrounded by adverts
(unless you have Ad block Plus which will remove these adverts) to
download the file. Run the install once the download has finished and
then you're done!
Now open up the Minecraft launcher, once the launcher has opened go to the bottom left corner and click the drop down arrow. In the drop down menu make sure you select the Profile Optifine. Once that's done click Play to start the game and configure the settings.

Once the game launches then click Options on the starting screen. In
Options click Video settings and you'll notice that loads of new
settings have appeared.
If everything is set, you may want to lowering the setting to get the 60 fps or more.
This is a list of the recommended settings in Minecraft:
Graphics: Fast
Smooth Lighting: Off
GUI Scale: Auto (for normal display) or Small to get higher fps
Brightness: Bright or Dark - it's your preference!
Fog: Off
3D Anaglyph: Off
Render Distance: 4-8
Max Framerate: Unlimited
View Bobbing: Off or On - it's once again your preference
Use VBOs: On

If lowering settings doesn't work, try to close all the programs that running in the background on your PC. Programs like Skype, your Antivirus, a web browser, music/video players
and email applications will all slow your PC down and therefore slow
your game down. To improve performance try closing these programs, but
NEVER close your antivirus software because then you're unprotected. If
you have a antivirus like Norton Internet Security or another antivirus
that has a similar function, you can right click the icon in the
notification area of the Windows taskbar and select Turn on silent mode
or gaming mode (names may vary depending on your antivirus). Make sure
you haven't just minimized the window, or allowed the program to go into
the hidden icon menu in Windows (bottom right of the Windows taskbar).
Completely close the program by clicking the cross in the top right hand
corner of the Window.
Another way to boost fps is by using the Windows Task Manager. First make sure Minecraft is running in the background (open/running). Then open the Windows Task Manager, to open the Task Manager click Ctrl + Alt + Delete on your Keyboard at the same time. Then click Start Task Manager. In the Task Manager right click on Minecraft and select Go to process, the process will now be highlighted and will be called javaw.exe. There are actually 2 of these processes, firstly right click on the un-highlighted javaw.exe and select End process, this will close the process. The second javaw.exe is actually not required to play Minecraft and is just wasting your RAM. Next go back to the first javaw.exe, right click it and select Set priority, then choose high in the menu. A new window will appear saying "Do you want to change the priority of javaw.exe"? In this new window click Change priority.

Finally for the last fps boosting tip. This tip requires you to close
your game and re-open the launcher. In the launcher you need to go to
the bottom left corner and click Edit Profile. In the new window tick
the JVM Arguments tick box. This allows you to allocate more RAM to
Minecraft. So make sure you don't allocate more the 80% of your RAM!
Now in the textbox next to the tick box remove the 1 from the Xmx1G and
change it to a higher number (about 50% of your RAM), e.g. if you have
8GB of RAM change it to 4G. Then click Save Profile and click Play to
test it out. If your game doesn't work after this step, try rebooting
your game and if that doesn't work then try reducing the allocated RAM.
That's how you optimize your Minecraft fps. If the tutorial that I just give you doesn't work. Try yo download other application or mods that can optimize your Minecraft experience, like Minecraft tweaker, Game Booster, and BetterFps. Anyway, thanks for reading and if you still have some problems. Just leave it in the comment and I'll try to help you.
