glitches may bug you

Few, but there still might be a some, of us gamers who remember sitting in front of the black and white TV watching our favorite program to which we only had one choice to choose from, with Mom and Dad. Even then the quality was poor, constantly turning knobs and moving around the rabbit ear antenna, we were still under the worst circumstances able to use our imaginations to fill in where the technical capabilities fell short.  Today it does not seem to be that easy and the visual glitches we have in front of us today on the screen are way too intrusive  to try to look through and ignore.

Mike Floorwalker from the The Looper points out, “Glitches have always been a part of video games—in fact, with such complex coding, it's a minor miracle that today's games don't glitch out constantly.”

It is no wonder minecraft has had more than its share of visual glitches with the complex amount of coding involved in creating the game.  I have personally not encountered too many visual glitches in my own personal version of Minecraft.  There are numerous forums out there for gamers to join in on and talk about their experiences with the game and some of their encounters with the glitches.  Many of these forums are older in nature and a lot of the glitches may have been fixed by now. 

 One of my favorite forums is FTB Forum https://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/annoying-modded-minecraft-graphics-glitch.53462/ where gamers can share information and talk about ways to get around and fix the glitches that may be caused not necessarily from the game coding itself but the system and software the gamer might be using when launching the game. 

Some gamers that have been using optifine find that if they remove it, the visual glitches go away. “Yeah, I'm using Optifine. I removed it and that seems to be the problem. Oh well, I guess it's better to play with a good framerate then have weird graphic glitches every so often :/” Phyroxinoid.

   There seems to be a lot of gamers talking about their experiences with visual glitches out there but I have found from reading the forums and experimenting with my own system there seems to always been a solution to fixing these pesky bugs that keep us from enjoying the full visual experience when we dive into our realm of virtual reality.
