I Repaired my first ever Laptop with which I used to play 1.7.10 on back in the day. While that version still runs at a buttery smooth 60 fps, trying the newest version barely manages 15 fps, if even that.
Since the days of Optifine, I’ve heard that there has been a bit of a Performance mod war going on, but since im out of the loop, I’ve wanted to ask whats the best performance mod for the job?
Sodium is the one with the most impact, but there are other good ones out there. So its not just one mod, but multiple. https://github.com/NordicGamerFE/usefulmods/tree/main/Performance
