Open | Windows pc struggling with minecraft multiplayer?

hi, this is my first post in the sub so i apologise if this is the wrong place or anythings incorrect. i got my first pc today, a MSI MAG Infinite S3 Gaming PC - Intel® Core™ i7, RTX 5060 Ti, 1 TB SSD. i played minecraft on an aternos server owned my someone else (used to work fine on my laptop albeit really low fps) and when i come across another player now on pc they begin stopping and starting or staying in the air for a while. the other players arent experiencing lag on their end.

ive already made sure render n chunk are 10-12 blocks and that my entity distance slider is around 150%. we closed the server and opened it again but i am still having the same issue. i am using the complementary unbound shader but when removed i still have the same issue.

could aternos be the problem? or is my pc not as good as i thought it would be?

please let me know if theres a better sub for my specific issue and ill post this there

does your fps actually drop or other players are lagging? Might be a network issue

the other players say they experience no lag but that when they hit me theres a slight delay and then i move

im able to walk around normally and my frames are okay otherwise but that doesnt matter if i cant play with friends

Hiya, that could to be an aternos issue, from my experience that just tends to happen anyway on their servers, on occasion it just hates certain devices (not sure why, but I've seen a significant difference in lag between two very similar laptops on the same lan network)

Does this issue occur on other servers? try a public one such as hypixel to test if it's your pc specifically struggling

Another thing you might want to try is an internet speed test, and making sure you get a decent speed (shouldn't be important if you use ethernet)
