From the moment I even open OBS I experience dropped frames/stuttering in minecraft. I have pretty decent specs: an i5-8400, a gtx 1060 6GB and 16GB of RAM. I only experience dropped frames in minecraft and no other games that are probably more demanding to run such as fortnite and rocket league. I have set v-sync to on in minecraft and run no other applications apart from minecraft and OBS. What could be the issue?

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...
OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

1. Update your Windows per https://obsproject.com/blog/five-simple-tips-for-new-streamers . You should at least be on 1909 if not 2004.
2. Your GPU is maxed out and OBS can't render scenes fast enough. Running a game without vertical sync or a frame rate limiter will frequently cause performance issues with OBS because your GPU will be maxed out. OBS requires a little GPU to render your scene.
Enable Vsync or set a reasonable frame rate limit that your GPU can handle without hitting 100% usage.
If that's not enough you may also need to turn down some of the video quality options in the game. If you are experiencing issues in general while using OBS, your GPU may be overloaded for the settings you are trying to use.

3. The encoder is skipping frames because of CPU overload. Read about it at https://obsproject.com/wiki/General-Performance-and-Encoding-Issues
4. Run OBS as Admin.
