Exordium

Exordium is a client-side mod that changes how Minecraft draws the user interface. Instead of rendering the GUI and HUD at the game's full framerate, it caps them at a lower, configurable rate. This reduces the load on your CPU and GPU, allowing more resources to go toward rendering the game world. The mod targets elements like the hotbar, crosshair, chat, boss bars, scoreboard, titles, debug screen, and most overlays. This vignette overlay is the only exception and continues to render normally. By lowering the framerate of these interface elements, Exordium aims to improve performance in situations where world rendering is the bottleneck. The mod isn't actively maintained, and the author states that no new features will be added or bugs fixed. Users should expect visual issues or compatibility problems when using it with other mods that modify the GUI. Explicit incompatibilities are noted with VulkanMod and MiniHUD, where the FPS counter may display GUI FPS instead of world FPS. Other mods like Fast Crosshair, Canvas, and BetterF3 may require specific settings adjustments to avoid conflicts. The mod works with Sodium, Iris, Optifine, AppleSkin, Better Ping Display, Chat Heads, Detail Armor Bar, WTHIT, JourneyMap, ToroHealth Damage Indicator, and BetterF3, though results may vary. Exordium supports Fabric, NeoForge, and Forge mod loaders. It is compatible with Minecraft versions 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1, 1.21.8, 1.21.11, and 1.21.10. The mod is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Because it isn't actively maintained, users are advised to try it and see if it works for their setup, especially if they use only the vanilla UI.
