🚀 Hardly Optimised

The definitive Fabric performance pack for 1.16.5 → 1.21.x

Tested on i5-4570/4GB DDR3/Tiny11 - No theoretical benchmarks!


⚠️ Critical Warning: Minecraft 1.21.5-1.21.7 Unsupported

All versions between 1.21.5 and 1.21.7 suffer from severe Intel GPU freezes (Mojang-confirmed bug).

  • No longer supported in this modpack
  • No stability fixes will be backported
  • Upgrade to 1.21.8 immediately for crash fixes

This is not optional if you use:

  • Intel UHD
  • Any integrated GPU
  • Low-end systems

Continuing to use 1.21.5-1.21.7 may corrupt worlds during freezes.
