Java issue? Game is frequently blinking black screen

I wonder if everyone experiencing this problem?
every damn 5-15 seconds the screen blinks black for 0.1-1 sec when i walk and rotate the camera angle, sometimes it's possible to notice the 'Loading..' text on it

issue is reproduced on both Java 7 and 8 versions, i have tried win7/win8/win10 and linux mint
not that my PC is that low specs, im running i7-2700k, 16gb, 680gtx and the only storage is OCZ SSD on PCI-E with up to 130000
any advice? :roll:


P.S ah it's all the same for original, latikai and ender clients.

Probably one of the following:

1. Your internet connection is slow or you are downloading something
2. you have cleared java cache and now your client has to redownload assets as they appear
3. Server is overloaded

There can be other reasons too
Sometimes it happens to me when digging e.g. clay, it will blink for every single piece of clay I dig up
It generally seems to go away after client restart though

I have the same thing with the vanilla client, just try & use latikai's :)

Ok, seems like installing java 6.45 fixed it!

This is the best solution to this problem that I have found. I'm not sure what the problem with the default client is but Lat's seems to have fixed it.
