Vanilla Minecraft isn't exactly great in terms of performance, but we can fix that.
For years now, Optifine has been the gold standard in terms of mods that increase performance, but the problems are:
- Closed source. Open source allows other people to make sure nothing suspicious is in the code, and fix problems they find.
- Not the best anymore. Performance from the mods we'll be installing in this guide will be much better than what Optifine can provide.
- Updates take forever. The project is so large, that it takes forever for it to be updated to new versions.
But what is the solution? Isn't Optifine the best? Wrong!
