What is Minecraft Fast SP?

Minecraft Fast SP (Singleplayer) is modified version of Minecraft 1.2.5 with the goal of consistent, high frame rate in Singleplayer on CPUs that struggle to keep up with the vanilla game.
Minecraft Fast SP is a standalone version of the game and can be installed alongside Minecraft PowerPC Edition (or others)

Changes:

• Worlds are generated before playing with a limited size (can be resized later)
• Entity render/tick distance configurable in settings
• Chunk random tick update distance configurable in settings
• Option to apply Render distance vertically, as well as horizontally
• Option to disable occlusion while still using "Advanced" OpenGL
• Option to preload textures in VRAM on world startup to reduce stuttering as new textures load off disk
   

A size of 16 is equivalent to a Legacy PE world, size 27 is equivalent to an xbox 360 / ps3 world.
