Performance Comparison:

The screenshots for the performance comparison were captured playing on the same world looking towards the same spot. The screenshots roughly reflects the maximum performance that were seen on both sides.

Identical settings were used in both screenshots:

- Graphics: Fancy
- Resolution: 3840x1440
- Render Distance: 32
- Simulation Distance: 12
- Field of view: Normal

Note that this is a slightly unfair scenario as the F3 menu greatly decreases the FPS in vanilla. This is why the comparison for the Features segment above actually uses the 'FPS Reducer' mod on both sides to display the FPS instead, in order to even the playingfield a bit.

Vanilla 1.20.4:

Breakneck 1.20.4 - v3.4.6:
