Adrenaline/Performance features
Adrenaline utilizes various performance mods to improve the game’s logic and rendering speed significantly. Here is a list of mods that it uses, excluding library mods.
Adrenaline can be used on both clients or servers. Mods are either client-side, server-side, or both, which is determined by me based on overhead, purpose, and relevance. Here’s how it works:
- If you install Adrenaline through a launcher, such as Prism Launcher or the Modrinth App, it will only install the mods that are marked as client-side or both-side.
- If you install Adrenaline through a server installer, such as mrpack-install or Docker Minecraft Server, it will only install the mods that are marked as server-side or both-side.
| Feature | Summary | 1.21.3 | 1.21.1 | 1.20.1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium (client) | Powerful rendering engine and optimization mod which improves performance and quality greatly. | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Nvidium (client) | Sodium addon for Turing+ (16xx+) Nvidia GPUs that uses Nvidia-only OpenGL extensions to increase FPS significantly. Disables itself on non-Nvidia GPUs or when using shaders. | ⛔ | ⛔ | ⛔ |
| ImmediatelyFast (client) | Improves the immediate mode rendering performance, such as entities, block entities, text rendering, and more. | ⛔ | ✅ | ✅ |
| CLL/SLC (client) | Culls leaves through various methods to improve performance significantly. | ⛔ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Entity Culling (client) | Uses async path-tracing to skip rendering blocks/entities that are not visible. | ⛔ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Enhanced Block Entities (client) | Significantly reduces lag from block entities such as areas with many chests. | ⛔ | ✅ | ✅ |
| BadOptimizations (client) | Mostly a bunch of micro-optimizations all in one mod. | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Dynamic FPS (client) | Reduces FPS and quality while Minecraft is in the background to save battery life and energy when AFKing. | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| FerriteCore (both) | Heavily reduces the memory usage of Minecraft in many different ways. | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Lithium (both) | General-purpose optimization mod that aims to improve logic performance without changing game mechanics. | ⛔ | ✅ | ✅ |
| ModernFix (both) | All-in-one mod that drastically reduces memory usage and improves performance. | ⛔ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Noisium (both) | Optimizes worldgen performance without any compromises to parity. | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| ThreadTweak (both) | Improve and tweak Minecraft’s thread scheduling. | ⛔ | ✅ | ✅ |
| C2ME (server) | Heavily improves the chunk performance of Minecraft through multi-threading (marked as server-side because it doesn’t benefit singleplayer much and may hurt performance on low-end hardware). | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Krypton (server) | Heavily optimizes Minecraft’s networking stack on the server. | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| ServerCore (server) | Several patches and optimizations to improve performance and reduce lagspikes on the server. | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Very Many Players (server) | Improves server performance at high playercounts through various methods. | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
