Tutorials/Update LWJGL (Legacy)

What is LWJGL?
LWJGL is the LightWeight Java Game Library. Essentially, it is what Minecraft uses for graphics, sound, and input.

Why update?

 * Minecraft will not ship with the latest version of LWJGL.
 * Updating will fix some input bugs where keys seem to get stuck if you click at the same time. It also removes the "ghost" mouse pointer clicking.
 * Some users report a performance increase upon updating.
 * This can also potentially fix some issues regarding sound not working/cutting out.
 * It has also been reported to fix intermittent crashes on Windows.

NB: LWJGL 2.8.5 has a bug, which sends a false signal, that the user released all currently pressed keyboard keys, when a mouse button is pressed. That means, that your building will be significantly slower. Unless you can live with this: Don't update!

Where to download
http://lwjgl.org/download.php

Select the latest stable release and download the lwjgl-X.X.X.zip. You should also backup your .minecraft folder before following the steps below. As a last resort, you can use the Minecraft Launcher's Force Download option to reset the files.

What to replace
In the lwjgl-X.X.X.zip, there should be two folders, named jar and natives. You should replace the files in .minecraft/bin and .minecraft/bin/natives with the versions from the .zip.
