Graphene

What Graphene does for you Graphene is a free, open-source performance mod that targets Minecraft 1.19.4 and newer. It fixes a handful of vanilla bugs and lifts frame-rate, startup speed, and server tick-time while staying highly configurable. The mod works on both client and server, and either side can run without the other. It supports Forge and NeoForge loaders across a specific set of versions: 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.2, 1.20.1, 1.20, and 1.19.4. Fabric and Quilt builds are listed as planned or partial in the project roadmap but aren't part of the current verified support matrix. ## Performance features Distant-tile suspension stops entities and tile entities far from players from ticking. Special cases like bullets from the TaCZ mod and the Ender Dragon are protected so they never freeze. Background throttling is an optional mode that drops FPS and chunk updates when the game window loses focus, then restores instantly when you return. Faster client bootstrap shaves seconds off launch. Quicker world generation is designed to play nice with other chunk-acceleration mods. Light-engine tweaks cut down on lighting recalculations. ## Rendering improvements Leaf culling is available on NeoForge up to 1.21.1 only. Static chest models batch chests and skip rendering them at long range, with the distance configurable. Reflex lowers render latency by pipelining OpenGL calls. ## Gameplay fixes and tweaks Boats no longer break or deal fall damage from any height, correcting a vanilla bug. A ground-item merger acts as a faster, configurable replacement for the Stxck mod. Bamboo light checks are suppressed. Language changes apply instantly without a resource-pack reload. Several memory-leak patches ported from standalone mods are included. ## Configuration and compatibility Every optimization can be toggled in the configuration file. If a feature breaks your pack, you can turn it off and the rest will still help. The project notes a known conflict: both Graphene and EntityCulling use LogisticsCraft or OcclusionCulling for similar features, which may cause issues. The mod is MIT-licensed, so you can redistribute it freely in modpacks. ## Version support policy The developers target platforms that need optimization most first, then the widest-used versions, then the rest when time allows. The version table shows full support for Forge and NeoForge on the listed versions, with Fabric, Quilt, and plugin ports in various planned or paused states. Don't assume support for versions or loaders not explicitly marked as full in the current evidence.
