💡 Other features

TBP contains a very small amount of non-OptiFine features – mainly being small fixes, such as EmuNO and Fix Keyboard on Linux. There’s also World Host, which lets you host your world to the public by simply clicking “Open Externally” in the pause menu. Borderless Mining is tucked away for convenience, disabled by default, but you can enable it in the mod menu. TBP has WorldEdit for easy building.

❓ Why this over OptiFine?

OptiFine used to be the go-to solution for enhancing performance in Minecraft and offered many additional features that users loved. However, recent developments have changed the situation. OptiFine functions as a type of “all-in-one” mod, making it impossible to disable certain features that are incompatible with other mods. Additionally, its closed-source nature presents a challenge for modders who are unable to fix compatibility issues. OptiFine is not natively compatible with Fabric and requires a separate mod, OptiFabric, which is difficult to keep up to date. This has led to the creation of alternative mods that work just as well, if not better, and are easier to update. Additive usually updates much quicker than OptiFine does. While the transition may take some time to get used to, the overall experience is much improved compared to OptiFine.
