About RenderLib
RenderLib is a client-side only mod that makes necessary changes to entity and tile entity rendering for some of my other mods (Other ports of mods which were also made by Meldexun). This mod on its own does not provide any meaningful improvements regarding performance and you probably only want to install it when using a mod that has this mod as a dependency.
Requirements
This port already pre-bundles org.spongepowered and its other dependencies (it.unimi.dsi:fastutil:7.1.0).
It requires ConfigurationsBackport v1.1 present here: https://modrinth.com/mod/configurationsbackport
