a lightweight minecraft modpack built to squeeze as much performance as possible out of your hardware.

made for old pcs, laptops, integrated graphics, and anything that makes minecraft work harder than it should.

if a potato can run it, you're good.


โš ๏ธ warning

this modpack includes a performance-focused configuration designed to keep minecraft lightweight and efficient.

feel free to modify the configuration to fit your hardware.


why use it?

fps memory shaders voice

more fps

a stack of performance mods working together to reduce rendering, memory, and game logic overhead.

  • sodium โ€” optimized rendering
  • mercurizer โ€” adaptive rendering optimizations
  • lithium โ€” optimized game logic
  • immediatelyfast โ€” faster gui and rendering
  • ferritecore โ€” reduced memory usage
  • entity culling โ€” skips things you can't see

shaders without the pain

iris provides shader support without needing optifine.

you get modern shader support while keeping the rest of the performance stack intact.

better information

small improvements that make the game easier to understand without turning it into a completely different experience.

  • betterf3 โ€” cleaner debug screen
  • jade โ€” block and entity information
  • appleskin โ€” food and saturation information
  • mod menu โ€” easy mod management

built-in voice chat

simple voice chat is included out of the box.

no discord required just to talk to someone standing next to you.
