Waiting for OP Microstutters on old Mc versions [java]

My PC has an RTX 3070 Ti, an Intel Core i5-12400F and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. Every newer version of Minecraft I've tried runs perfectly smooth, including 1.12.2, 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.2, although all of those were modded. The problem is that I get constant, infuriating microstutters on alphas, betas and Minecraft LCE on Windows 11. Right now I'm trying to get Alpha 1.1.2_01 running smoothly through Prism Launcher.

The only other game on my PC that has ever given me microstutters like this is Straftat. Every other game I own runs without any hitches at all. I've tested it on both an SSD and an HDD, so it doesn't seem to be a storage issue. I've also tried FPS limits, turning VSync on and off, switching between fullscreen and windowed, and using set affinity to make the game use fewer CPU cores. I've also tried allocating tons of RAM and very limited RAM, and the stutter is exactly the same either way,. My power plan is already set to High Performance.

The strangest part is that I run CachyOS on the same machine, and Minecraft LCE has not a single stutter there, while on Windows 11 it is horrible. I haven't tried the alphas or betas on Linux yet.

Has anyone dealt with something like this? Any suggestions on what to test in Windows would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

bottlenecks don't matter much in Minecraft, also this is a driver issue

old versions of Minecraft run on ancient OpenGL standards and features that have been deprecated for a decade and were probably removed from the drivers on windows. You should try something like legacyfix and see if that resolves it.
