I've now done a complete uninstall and reinstall of Java and restarted the System twice. Is it worth reinstalling Minecraft?

Ok, have you tried to see if performance is still the same or is it like your post after you replied to me? It's worth a shot reinstalling Minecraft to see if anything changes but the likelihood is pretty slim.

Render distance at 4 achieves EXACTLY the same frame rate. No improvement at all

Out of curiosity, why is your Java version so old?

The MC launcher comes bundled with it, thats all.

I’ll do a fresh install, and see if it helps, but I doubt it as there’s no differences between vanilla and optifine and I’ve tried different versions of the game

have you tried optfine?

also what happens when you play older versions? I only really play 1.8.9. if your FPS only bad in the newer updates?

Looks like it's Minecraft Java Edition just being itself. It's well known that this version is pretty poorly optimised. I would suggest using optifine/alternatives if you have not already.

Wild shot in the dark. Install Fabric (kinda like forge) and download Sodium (optifine but ~4x-8x the performance) and see if you get better performance.

SUCCESS - Completely Reinstalling Minecraft seemed to have worked. Thanks for all your help guys  especially @SpiderMan and @SavageNeo

That's great, probably a buggy/corrupt download then.

Now getting 400Fps+ at only 30% GPU and 9% CPU.

Download Optifine and tweak settings there, it will also help out with FPS increase.

I was scrolling through waiting to see this get mentioned! The other good one (better performance if you don't need specific Optifine features) is sodium. Here's a video comparing Vanilla/Opti/Sodi. Very interesting results.
