Tired of “optimization” packs bloated with useless mods?
MAX FPS: Optimized contains only 16 FPS-boosting mods and the essential libraries required to run them — nothing extra. No annoying additions, no feature bloat, just pure performance.
I also actively maintain all supported versions, including older ones when major improvements are possible.

❓ FAQ

Fabric or Quilt?

They are very similar, but since all mods are developed for Fabric first, Fabric gives the smoothest experience with the fewest compatibility issues.
Quilt support has been discontinued due to low usage and minimal benefits. I strongly recommend Fabric.

Will the Vulcan mod be added to the modpack?

No. In my testing, Vulkan-based alternatives perform much worse than Sodium and also come with important limitations.
They also do not support shaders the way most players expect, which makes them much less useful in practice.

Will the Nvidium mod be added to the modpack?

No. Nvidium only works on a limited range of NVIDIA GPUs and newer architectures, which makes it unnecessary for most users.
It is also only available for Fabric 1.19.4+, and the types of setups where it would actually matter are very specific.
For most players, it is not a meaningful addition. If you want a better visual upgrade instead, I recommend trying Distant Horizons separately.

Will you continue developing the modpack on CurseForge or elsewhere?

Most likely not. Main development is focused elsewhere, and CurseForge is not the primary platform for this project.
However, starting from version 3.0, the modpack is easy to use on many different launchers.

Will there be mods that everyone needs (like Iris), even if they do not affect optimization?

No, and there are no plans to add them.
The main idea of this modpack is to include only mods that directly improve performance.
If you want extra features, you can always add them yourself on top of the base pack.
