Description from the author on Modrinth

Exordium

_Render the GUI and screens at a lower framerate to speed up what's really important: the worldrendering._

Renders the GUI at a lower fixed framerate (configurable in the settings), freeing up CPU and GPU time for the world rendering. There is no good reason to render the hotbar at 100+ FPS.

Compatibility

_This mod is not actively maintained! No new features will be added or bugs with other mods fixed! There will be visual issues/compatibility issues with other mods or even vanilla! Just don't use the mod if you have a problem with that._

Not compatible

  • VulkanMod
  • MiniHUD(bug on their side, the fps counter shows the gui fps instead of the world fps)
  • Canvas
  • Fast Crosshair will not work with ImmediatelyFast, just keep it off
  • In BetterF3 disable the slide in Animation or Debug screen buffering
  • Many other mods that render their own GUI elements, the wilder the mod, the more likely it is to not work with this mod. No point in reporting this, Exordium is for the Vanilla UI only

FAQ

When will it release for version 1.xx.xx?

This mod is not actively maintained. So any new versions might happen, once everything else is done and there is time.

(Neo)Forge support?

No. There is are builds for 1.21.8+, but with no guarantees for anything.

Does this work with mod xyz?

Try it and see. Keep in mind, only the Vanilla Gui is supported, don't ask about mods that replace stuff in the UI.

Backport to 1.16.5/1.12.2/1.8.9?

No backports are planned. Mainly due to engine limitations in older versions.
