Folks tend to think Minecraft is a low resolution game thanks to all those big blocks. It's not and if you crank the settings up you can pose a SERIOUS challenge to your rig. Not surprising at all to me that Minecraft would generate a lower or similar framerate as BF4 - for instance I run minecraft at about 40FPS (it's the quality settings I like best like view distance, shadow, fancy water) and World of Tanks also at 40 FPS.

I average 180FPS (with VSYNC OFF), at 1920x1080 with all settings to the highest video quality.

That's if starting a NEW WORLD and just walking around for a few minutes but it's typical of later gameplay.

I know I've got a better computer (i7-3770K, GTX680) however look at THESE results for an FX-6300 and HD7870 on Ultra (about 120FPS).

*So I'm pretty sure you should be easily getting a solid 60FPS with maximum quality.

Minecraft is somewhat a single threaded game. Most of your 6 cores are not being used, and they are relatively slow.
I think there are some mods in the minecraft community to make use of more cores. Google some to find them.

Do not think that task manager showing activity across all cores makes it multi threaded. That is simply windows spreading single task activity across all cores.

If you are on windows 8.1 it might help. I think there are improvements to recognize the shared resource nature of your 3 true cores.
