I don't know my version or loader
Features:
1) Reduce noise lag, and make noise more visible by instead of using, tons of noise files only using 1.
2) Removes regular mipmap and adds my own that has no performance drop.
3) Enforce using arm if on arm capable devices.
4) Disables non-modded shaders and non-modded ambient occlusion.
5) Disables game pauses at lost focus.
6) Changes mod threads to run at lower priority than game threads.
7) Disables an occasional texture leak that can happen regardless of operating system.
RANDOM NOTES:
Performance mods frequently cause worse performance with this mod
Menu mods may reduce some performance gains, due to potentially preventing garbage collections and potentially altering world saving.
Mac Computers bought before June 2023 have more issues with minecraft no matter what is done. (MC-273401 MC-273262 MC-271105)
Not against spigot users, although if using spigot note that bugs from your server/modpack won't get fixed without them contacting you. Profiling done using [https://modrinth.com/mod/worldgen-devtools](https://modrinth.com/mod/worldgen-devtools)
This overrides almost any GC optimization:(-XX:+DisableExplicitGC)
