Fast Image Frame Mod speeds up item frames and map walls, and works as a companion for ImageFrame Client. Big map art walls and shops full of item frames stop dragging your FPS down. Everything looks the same as vanilla. This mod runs on the client only, so the server needs nothing. It also fixes the clash between ImageFrame Client and ImmediatelyFast.
Features:
- Map atlas: Packs map textures into a few large textures, so a whole wall of maps draws in a handful of draw calls instead of one per map.
- Baked map walls: Draws frames that don’t change once and replays them like terrain. Frames are checked several times per second and rebuilt when something changes.
- Animated GIFs: ImageFrame GIFs stay baked while they play. Only the texture coordinates are swapped.
- HD image detail levels: With ImageFrame Client installed, each image draws at the size its spot on screen needs. Far images use no video memory of their own, and near ones get sharper.
- Image cache: Keeps HD images in RAM and on disk, with one folder per server. Images show up right away when you join again.
- Compatibility fix: Fixes the clash between ImageFrame Client and ImmediatelyFast.
- Bakes item frames that hold blocks, tools, enchanted items, banners, shields, compasses, clocks and more (Minecraft 1.21.4 to 1.21.11).
- Skips the edges between two frames and the back of each frame when you can’t see them. Resource packs that change the frame, like invisible frames, still work.
- Skips frames hidden behind blocks, using the game’s (or Sodium’s) visibility check plus a block by block test.
- Treats normal and glow item frames the same way. A change of light, like torches or dynamic lights, does not rebuild anything.
- Stops the game from rebuilding a whole map texture when a packet only moves markers.
- Requests HD images in the order they appear, a few at a time, and retries refused ones.
- Works with Sodium, Lithium, Iris (even with shaders), ImmediatelyFast, Entity Culling, FerriteCore, ETF and EMF.
Measured Gains:
Test setup: 854×480 window, RTX 4060 laptop, Minecraft 1.21.8.
| Scene | Vanilla | With this mod |
|---|---|---|
| Wall of 1600 maps (40×40) | 13 FPS | 725 FPS |
| Wall of 1600 HD maps with ImageFrame Client | 18 FPS | 656 FPS |
| Animated wall, 400 maps, one image per tick | 60 FPS | 687 FPS |
| 400 item frames holding 12 kinds of items | 94 FPS | 512 FPS |
On a real Paper server with a wall of 2160 HD images, you get about 30 FPS with ImageFrame Client alone. With this mod, you get about 800 FPS.
