Vodium

Vodium — a Minecraft optimization mod.

Vodium is a Minecraft optimization and shading system mod that replaces numerous mods with a single, unified system. It optimizes rendering, physics, chunk and entity loading, and also provides a shader system (as mentioned earlier) – you don’t need to download a bunch of mods that conflict (Not 100% replacer for all optimization mods! Yes, it works fine, but it isn’t too big to replace all mods).

Note: I’m working hard to improve Vodium’s shader system, but it’s still not a complete replacement for Iris. However, it’s already usable – the basic effects and shaders work.

Incompatibles list

Incompatible with:

1. Sodium
2. (partially – if disable built-in entity physics optimization & AI optim will work) Lithium
3. (partially – if disable culling works) EntityCulling
4. (Not fully tested) C2ME
5. (Partially – disable regionBatching to use) Iris Shaders

(however, it replaces their features)

How to download and use

1. Download Vodium from the official website (i.e. here, from Modrinth).
2. Download shaders from Google Drive.
3. Place the .jar file you downloaded from Modrinth in step 1 in the /%Your_Minecraft_Folder%/mods/ folder.
4. Place both shaders from the shader ZIP archive from step 2 in the /%Your_Minecraft_Folder%/shaderpacks/ folder.

Optimization showcase

For your tests, you can use /vodium on & /vodium off commands to enable&disable mod’s optimizations – on this screenshot I used them (so, please, don’t ask “why top has fabric” – I tested using this command too).
If you want, you also can disable mod, run Minecraft again if you want.
