Under a grand? Might be a bit difficult depending on where you live. Is that USD? Minecraft SEUS Shaders can be quite demanding. I would say your not going to find a new laptop under $1000 that will play MC with Shaders etc at a buttery smooth frame rate. You could look at Razer, Asus or MSI gaming laptops, but they are probably much more than you want to spend. If you don't want your laptop to overheat, get one with an aluminium shell.

Have a look into these and search Amazon or your local store etc:

MSI: http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT60-0NC.html
Asus: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/Gaming_Products/
Razer: http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade/
Alienware: http://www.dell.com/nz/p/alienware-m14x-r2/pd
