Since 1.1.1, server part of mod moved to separate server-only mod NumFlux.

Comparing without any other mods(exclude libs) on 1.21.11

Without mod	With mod (1.2.2)	FPS increase
1100	1200	9.09%

Features ⭐:

DSA system for VBO/EBO/FBO/Textures
RBO depth
Pool system for VBO/EBO
"VAO <--> Format" cache
Vectorization(via jdk.incubator)
UI text Batching
Fast collections in loading systems
GL targets cache

DSA(Included in game from version 1.21.11):

DSA(direct-state access) buffers(VBO, EBO, FBO), allows you not to bind buffers to render, reducing the number of operations, also adds a VBO/EBO pool, which creates a config-defined size value and allows you to reuse buffers.

RBO(>1.21.11):

Uses a Renderbuffer(RBO) for depth (which also uses DSA if it enabled on "FBO only" or "All") instead of texture, this slightly increases performance.

SIMD:

Accelerates CPU computations(in Frustum(~1.21.1) and Weather rendering(~1.21.11)) using the Vector API from the jdk.incubator module
Requires a JVM argument to run:

Find the JVM arguments list in your launcher and add --add-modules jdk.incubator.vector to it.

Problem-solving policy:

If issue marked as “Bug/Compat,” it will have the highest priority.
If issue marked as “Inaccuracy,” it has a low priority and implies that there is minor inaccuracy in the game process, which can be resolved by disabling config setting.
If the game crashes, you should start by checking the JVM arguments to see if the jdk.incubator argument is present.

Important ⚠️:

If your GPU's OpenGL is lower than 4.5, some features will be unavailable!
RBO not compatible with shaderpacks.
Since minecraft 1.21.10 GpuTape support will be discontinued(Use GPUBooster instead).
