Tessera

Tessera makes Minecraft use less video memory. It shrinks the game’s textures on your graphics card by up to 75%, and the game looks exactly the same. Helpful with big resource packs, large modpacks, or a GPU without much memory.

✨ Features

• 🎯 Nothing to set up: install it and play.
• 🌊 Animations keep moving: water, lava, fire and every other animated texture.
• 🧊 No freezes while textures load: the work happens in the background.
• 🎨 Shaders welcome: it doesn’t change how the game draws, so shaders and other visual mods keep working.
• 📊 See the savings: press F3 to see how much video memory it saves (on every version except 1.21.5 – 1.21.9).

You also need Celeris. Put both in your mods folder.

📉 What it saves

This is Tessera’s corner of the F3 screen in a normal world: the textures take 3.96 MB of video memory instead of 15.84 MB.

The more textures your packs and mods add, the more it saves. An earlier version, for comparison:
