Optimization mods have been around for Minecraft Java edition for some time, but since the release and constant improvement of the Fabric Mod Loader, a mod loader focused on optimization and performance improvement for Minecraft, many optimization mods have reached the top of the charts in Minecraft mods. Here are some that we think you should install on your Minecraft server and client.
Sodium is the best optimization mod for Minecraft. Not only does it improve performance, but it also improves the graphical quality in Minecraft. Sodium also introduces a new video settings screen that allows for improved optimization. So no matter what computer you're running on, Sodium will help your game run smoother.
Lithium is a optimization overhaul that introduces a ton of optimizations for game physics, mob AI, and much more. This mod also does not change any of the vanilla mechanics, so is still safe to use on any vanilla server. Not only can you install Lithium on your computer, but you can also install it on your server, making it the best hybrid optimization mod for both server and clients out there.
FerriteCore is the mod you've been looking for, you can finally download more ram. OK, just kidding, but this mod does reduce the memory usage on your computer and is also installable on servers as well. So it's free ram. Just install this one no matter what you're doing.
We've all been there. You're flying across your world and there's constant stuttering when loading in new chunks. This makes exploration feel like a technical fluke. Well, not anymore. StutterFix allows you to control this and harness the power of no more stuttering. The mod comes ready to install with further configuration for more technical users.
ModernFix is an all-in-one mod that optimizes the game is many different ways. First, it improves performance, memory usage, and fixes many bugs in recent Minecraft versions. ModernFix boasts that Forge modpacks with it installed with load two times faster than with it not installed. That's a serious time saver if you know how long Forge modpacks usually take to load.
Finally, we have more culling. What is culling you may ask? Culling is where games don't render things that are in the view of the player. This in turn, will greatly improve the performance of the game. More Culling adds this functionality to Minecraft to greatly optimize how the game runs. This means things that are out of your view underground or in chunks far away won't bog down your game anymore.
