This is a list of Minecraft 1.7.10 mods that are not focused on adding new original content. Instead, they make the base game run better, or port over features from other versions of vanilla.
These lists try to comprehensively list all the available options. You will not want to use all of the listed mods at once.
Some of the listed mods require a Mixin bootstrap mod in order to work. See the Mixin mods section near the end of the document for information about that.
Shown in one table since there is a large overlap between these two categories.

-
Being closed source mods that patch the game invasively, FastCraft and OptiFine are known to cause issues with many mods.
-
OptiFine D7 introduced shader support, which causes incompatibilities with some mods, notably FastCraft 1.23. To fix this, FastCraft 1.25 had some of its optimizations disabled in order to regain compatibility. Therefore, if using FastCraft and OptiFine at the same time, the recommended configurations are:
- OptiFine D6 + FastCraft 1.23: no shader support, but has been found to give better performance.
- OptiFine E7 + FastCraft 1.25: has shader support, but performance may be worse.
Here is a handy chart showing the relation between the major rendering overhaul mods.
Thus, the combos expected to yield the best rendering performance are:
- OptiFine + FastCraft + ArchaicFix + Neodymium
- ArchaicFix + Neodymium
Less commonly needed optimization/fix mods. (Split off from the main list to keep it from getting too large.)

Most newer coremods require Mixin to work. Some embed Mixin inside the mod jar, allowing the mod to work standalone. But most of them require a separate mod to provide Mixin, as this method tends to cause less problems.
Until recently, most mods were built against Mixin 0.7.11, but mods requiring 0.8 are becoming more common. However, upgrading from Mixin 0.7.11 can sometimes cause issues, as Mixin 0.7.12+ introduced some non-backwards compatible changes. The mixin forks used by GasStation and UniMixins avoid this problem thanks to their backwards compatibility patches.
General recommendation: Use UniMixins, unless a mod requires Grimoire, in which case UniMixins modules can be used to add the missing features on top.
