When I make my max fps low, like less than 20, the chunks load super slowly too.
E.g. running around on horse I will just catch up to unloaded chunks.
Why is this? And how can I circumvent this?
I want low fps to prevent my laptop from overheating, but I still want chunks to load properly.
I am on a MacBook Pro with Retina Mid-2015, macOS High Sierra 10.13.5.

This is because Minecraft measures chunk load speed in ticks per frame. The easiest workaround is to install Optifine, and then in
Graphics -> Perfomance
increaseChunk load speed
and disableSlow chunks
.PS: MacBook Pro is pretty powerful and should not overheat from Minecraft. If it does, ask an expert to remove dust from the cooling system (do not try to do it yourself) or close background applications. Your laptop wouldn't benefit much from decreasing FPS.
