The computer I got (I found it on the internet) can I add a better processor? Is there a motherboard that is compatible with the case so I don't have to change the case? I would like a motherboard on which I can add an Intel Core and 5 12

Welcome to our HP community forum!
Your HP Desktop - M01-F0008nw (1T0P7EA), as fitted with an Erica2 motherboard (SSID: 8643) and a Ryzen 3 3200G (3.60 GHz up to 4.00 GHz, 4-Cores, 4-Threads) processor, according to the Erica2 motherboard specs, can be upgraded to a Ryzen 5 3400G (3.70 GHz up to 4.20 GHz, 4-Cores, 8-Threads).
However, your desktop is also compatible with a Ryzen 5 3600 (3.60 GHz up to 4.20 GHz, 6-Cores, 12-Threads) and the Ryzen 7 3700X (3.60 GHz up to 4.40 GHz, 8-Cores, 12-Threads) -all with a 65-watt TDP, as can be seen here amongst "HP System Desktop M01-F0xxx" Users: UserBenchmark: HP Desktop M01-F0xxx Compatible Components.
My recommendation is to upgrade to the Ryzen 7 3700X. I don't know of any other motherboard that would fit/be compatible with your case.
Kind Regards,

Look, the recommended processor requirement for playing Minecraft only requires the AMD A8-6600K, and you got at least an AMD Ryzen 3 3200G, which, as you can see here, is far better than the listed CPU:
Point being, your issue isn't likely to be related to your processor.
You should have at least 2 x 8GB of DDR4 PC4-25600, 3200 MHz, Non-ECC, UDIMM, 288-pin RAM sticks (2 x 16GB would be best), and to play Minecraft without flutters and stutterings, you should have at least an RX 550 graphics card installed. This card has a 50-watt TDP, which I believe can be powered by your 180-watt power supply -please verify the wattage of your power supply.
And lest I forgot to mention it: your primary (boot) drive should be an M.2 NVMe SSD for speed and performance.
