The Best Performance Mods for Minecraft 1.20

[@Lentern]

Sodium fixed the performance on NVIDIA GPUs, you might have 2-3x better performance so enjoy ppl

[@dhanushpatloori1772]

YAY❤

[@sulphurous2656]

Wait, performance on NOVIDEO GPU's was broken for Sodium this whole time? Damn, no wonder why 1440p performance felt barely different on a 3060 Ti compared to a 290X/980 Ti on 1.18.2 and other versions.

[@dellk__]

Sodium has some problems with older AMD graphics cards, i'm using a Radeon R5 230 and my screen starts flickering when using sodium, OptiFine works normally. (I use a DVI Cable)

[@itskoder]

the amount of mods that are needed to boost the performance of the game is INSANE!! mc definitely needs an optimization update.

[@jotasietesiete4397]

My brother in christ 1.20 was the optimization update

[@Proferk]

Even if minecraft had an optimization update, it would deprecate the current mod list but immediately people would start making new mods that boost the performance even more, and this'll be an endless cycle.

[@Proferk]

@@jotasietesiete4397 No it wasn't.

[@itskoder]

@@Proferk i mean the whole point of updates is so that the game can be improved gradually and sure people will make mods to improve the game further but having the base game improved to the best of its ability will eliminate the need for people to use the mods in the first place. furthermore, when people make new mods there won't be a 'necessity' to use them if you're on a lower performance/budget pc.

[@itskoder]

@@jotasietesiete4397what do you mean?

[@dysxleia]

A HUGELY underrated performance mod is Exordium. It basically renders GUI related elements at a lower frame rate than the world, because it turns out to be more intensive than you would think, for no real gain. It also prevents glowing sign text from rendering multiple times per frame which can be a huge difference on certain servers. Highly recommend

[@Lentern]

will look at it for the 1.21 mod video

[@MangoDev_]

One mod that works _INSANELY_ well on computers with weaker CPUs (like mine) is C2ME, which speeds up the chunkloading at least ten-fold. It doesn't fix the lag with _rendering_ the chunks, but that's Sodium's (or Nvidium's) job; C2ME fixes the stutters of loading new chunks as well as the ability to walk into unloaded chunks, and as someone with a weak CPU, I'd highly recommend it.

[@Typingram]

Noisium is another one that helps with the same thing, it works in tandem with C2ME

[@alexemme3434]

Prior to finding this video, loading new chunks on my worlds would bring my game to a grinding halt, often below an average of 5FPSon LOW graphics settings. These mods completely removed that lag and I now run a smooth 100+ FPS, 60-70 when traveling in newly rendered areas. Thanks!!

[@bomba76]

Just so you know everyone, iris also increases performance in regular gameplay, not just with shaders. Also some other mods you may want to use - more culling and more culling extra, by the same person who did the memory leak fix mod, which does loads of different culling methods. Next, feytweaks, which optimises signs and beacons, useful if you have lots of those. Next, fasterrandom, does what you’d expect. Lastly, C2ME optimises chunks and jnsane amount

[@romer21]

Even for someone who doesnt want to mod the game at all, I would say this video is extremely worth watching. You definitively know how to entertain

[@VeryCoolCatBF]

Performance and optimization mods are a must, especially for java players.

[@zerbietheslug5219]

Disclaimer: Soon after this video, Sodium has made updates that fixed the occlusion and biome blending issues. You do not need to download those mods anymore, for they will crash the game upon startup

'The performance of the game is still pretty bad no matter how good your computer is.' in the recent versions, the game loads almost instantaneously and with high framerate even with a weak computer

[@arkzok]

this is the only video of yours that ive watched and i already miss u come back

[@FantaTrackpad]

such a professional video, helped me out a ton and cant reccomend it enough. dont understand why your channel isnt much bigger, it certainly deserves to be!

[@nootnoot969]

i got from 60 to 300 just for changing to fabric I cant wait to see these mods too

[@Wayturns]

You could add nvidium for 1.20.1 video it's great for users with nvidia gtx 1660's or higher it improves performance alot and allows for higher distance similar[some cases same] performance. Note: it doesn't work on any other gpu's but it won't break anything if it is installed as it will just disable it self, it also disables it self when iris shaders are active You could also take a look at bobby

[@sulphurous2656]

I hope this mods gets backported to 1.18.2 as well. Never knew we needed this the whole time.

[@gameo7]

Thank you for such a super informative video!! I had a lot of these already installed but I downloaded new ones so my game can run better

[@fqidz]

you should check these mods out: zoomify - a better zoom mod with more customization gamma utils - a better gamma mod. you can adjust gamma using keybinds. very customizable ferritecore - performance concurrent chunk management engine - performance chat patches - so many settings to customize chat; includes more chat history and also saves chats when leaving worlds searchables - adds a search bar to the keybinds menu; useful if you have a lot of mods jade - powerful tool to see "hidden" info like: animal breeding cooldowns, adult growth time, chicken egg cooldown, horse/donkey/mule jump & speed stats, etc. (can be used client-side on servers but needs to be installed server-side to be a lot more useful)

[@bomba76]

He already talked about ferritecore

[@CrystalClear51]

c2me doesnt really improve performance on the client side, it has some noticable improvements if installed on a server tho

[@BASGAN29]

This helped a lot w/ my performance, along with cleaning out my computer fans. Now minecraft doesn’t make my laptop overheat!!

[@anilovbayan7706]

That last mod was the cherry on top of this video, great video thanks!!

[@anar4732]

thank you very much, i will be sure to use your mod again in the next video!

[@lordfizzz]

Thanks man I'm on a i7 9k and a 1660 so I can run vanilla comfortably but my god getting around 110 fps is way more than I expected. Thank youuuu

[@bbluay]

I really love ESSENTIAL Mod that have the essentials basically, there’s an easier screenshot that u can copy, edit, and send to ur friends, Social that has ur friends added (like lunar) on the mod itself, there’s inbuilt Zoom, with some customization, cosmetics, create a host (like transform ur singleplayer world and make it multiplayer, u can invite someone on ur friend list, there’s many option to customize the world, like op, make the other players with roles like adventurer, doesn’t break nothing, etc.. it’s like the old days in console that u can now a host on ur world and play with ur friends) and etc…

[@JohnSmith-wv5km]

Use e4mc to play with friends instead, mods should not have privacy policies

[@Loading-df5qn]

You have changed minecraft for me forever, i went from 30 fps to not even going under 100

[@spark3053]

Is there any quicker way to update the mods when a new version comes out other than going through and redownloading them all individually? I've done that for the last couple years and each time takes longer cause I find a new QOL/Performance mod to add to the collection.

[@JohnMaverick-w7c]

thanks for explaining what each mod do!

[@ZeFerx81x]

This is a god tier video thank you so much you resolve my problem with sodium fps

[@gloups157]

Hi, I've had a look at Starlight and, according to its creator, it's no longer useful on the client side because Mojang fixed the problems with the game's light engine in the last update. I've seen that you're planning to update this video soon, so that's something to keep in mind :)

[@Proferk]

he did say that on the screen lol

[@GeneralAeon]

Oh damn

[@Lentern]

Yeah since I took like 3 months to make this video, it gave me time to update the video with stuff like that, so I tried to get the most up-to-date info in the video but the newest changes will be in the mods document

[@mgord9518]

Sodium is nuts. I went from having to run at 12 chunks to get a steady 60FPS to 24. Gonna throw it on every machine I run Minecraft on

[@StillConfusing]

wow you saved my gaming experience, went from a measly 2000 fps to 600 fps with shaders

[@martinjugolin2087]

Mods improved my fps while using shaders, thumbs up from me And i use Intel integrated graphics Also, for example, if you´re using/playing in 1.20.4, some mods that are up to 1.20.2 actually work in that version, but always try first and check stuff up before playing.

[@TheGibberingGoblin]

Genuinely so helpful cheerz

[@blitzvii322]

Nice work man, I subbed.

[@SnoFitzroy]

I first hear of LunarClient a few days ago and heard it can boost framerate a lot. WITHOUT LUNAR, My laptop is just strong enough to run vanilla with enough frames that gameplay usually doesn't lag if my render distance stays below 16, as long as I also keep almost every graphical setting (that impacts performance at least) on its lowest values. I can use "fancy" if my render distance is 8 but still drop a couple frames with no gameplay lag. WITH LUNAR, I can keep my render distance on 16 at almost all times with fancy graphics, biome blend of 1, and even enable clouds and my frames are still a nearly constant 60-100. THEN I DICOVERED SODIUM TONIGHT, just a few hours before this landed in my feed. I now pull constant 80-200 FPS. I have a 60hz screen so this means almost nothing but it's awesome that I can pull the framerates that people with powerful computers can, while having fancy settings, fancy clouds, biome blend 1, 20 render AND simulation distance...THIS GAME LOOKS SO FUCKING GOOD GUYS!!!!!!! I've been stuck with the worst graphical version of this game since I started playing in like 2016. Y'all have no idea how good it feels to unlock the potential of my computer. It acts like it did when I got it in 2018! I'm so happy., I even installed some fun singleplayer mods (Cobblemon, anyone? :3 ) AND I STILL GET CONSTANT 60s!!!

[@muhammaddzaky7390]

Hello Lentern, I got a question. Im actually a very new player to Minecraft Java. According from the recent issue about malware that affected many minecraft mods, Im very concerned that some mods that I downloaded may be dangerous. Only using performance mods like Sodium and some of mods from this video. Are those kind of mods (performance mods) safe? I play minecraft only for singleplayer, never interested on playing multiplayer. Great video btw. Sorry for my bad english. Thank you.

[@secondgryphon254]

To my current knowledge that one virus going around is no longer active, but recently a vulnerability in some older mods and possibly some newer ones made it so that anyone could run malicious code in multiplayer servers only. Sorry for format and grammar

[@Lentern]

theres never a way to know if youre fully safe. if you are skeptical, play vanilla. i don't advertise these mods with the intention of giving people malware, but I have been using these mods for years and to my knowledge I am safe

[@jayavionharris]

I double OP's comment. Just stick with curseforge and modrinth and to ease skepticism only use mods with moderate to high amounts of downloads. However, keep in mind that those 2 websites are very safe and you should have very minimal concern when downloading mods from them.

[@TheZexquex]

​@@jayavionharrisBut keep in mind that it was Curseforge where the infected Mods were uploaded xD

[@Goose____]

it's insane to me that vanilla runs at about 20fps- for me, but when i install mods i can comfortably get around 80-100fps (shitty pc, i3 2100, gt610, 4gb ram)

For me only sodium does a massive performance boost, if i add any more performance mods, the fps just decreases. OR IS IT JUST THAT FABRIC IS WORSE THAN QUILT?

[@Baconator20000]

A funny mod I saw in quilt is "makequiltgoslightlyfasterlol" Another one is "Biome blend fix" Which makes the biomeblend 32x32 and makes it 3d instead of vanilla's 2d(it's faster) To add on to the no more crashing mod: Theres a mod called "Vanillaicecreamfix" which is a port of vanillafix for 1.13+ forge+fabric versions
