Minecraft is based on Java and Java has its problems (just like BASIC) in clearing the used memory, called "garbagge collection". This slows down your computer immensely, when you´re playing for a longer time, especially when you are walking through a dense forest. And the lagging gets worse the longer you play. A not so fast computer is brought to its knees indepentent to its RAM. My computer uses 16 GB and after a while the lagging just sucks and I had to end Minecraft and start it again.

To avoid this I suggest the "Memory Cleaner Mod 1.7.10.jar". When this mod starts to clean the memory, the game pauses for about a second, but then you can continue like you´ve started Minecraft the first time. You can change the time interval in the config-file. This mod works very fine with LOTR.
