Description from the author on Modrinth

DESCRIPTION

This modpack contains Sodium, Lithium, Iris Shaders and Entity Culling.
What this modpack does is speed up your game—a lot.
It does this in many ways. Sodium provides a new, modern rendering engine that speeds up the game significantly.
But we can do more. Lithium allows no compromises to be made on the logic side of your client or server meanwhile Entity Culling skips all entities which arent visible from the rendering stage.
Iris is used to provide the ability to run incredible shaders at an outstanding speed. Allowing you to use shaders without slowing the game down.
These mods are amazing, go give them a follow and a download.

How to install FPS Essentials

  1. This modpack runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20 – 26.x. The launcher you install it with sets that up for you.

  2. Download the .mrpack file from Modrinth.

  3. Open it with a launcher that reads .mrpack files, such as the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher: it makes a new instance with every mod and setting of the pack.

  4. Give the instance enough memory: most modpacks want 4 to 8 GB.

  5. To play it with friends on a server, use the server files of the modpack if its page offers them; otherwise install the same mods on the server.
