Minecraft runs slow, but high fps

minecraft-java-edition

When I play Minecraft, it runs choppy. I usually get around 200 fps but for some reason it still looks slow. Then sometimes out of nowhere it runs really really smooth.

My system specifications.

CPU: Intel Core i5 4460 (4 cores)
GPU: Sapphire AMD R9 290 (4GB)
RAM: 8GB
PSU: Corsair CX600

At the moment I am using Linux Mint, but I still had this problem in
Windows 8.1

Check to make sure VSync is turned off in settings. Also, make sure your max FPS in Unlimited, or at least high enough. Or try to make your render distance shorter. If that doesn't help, you can always install Optifine.
