THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN STALLED FOR 2 MONTHS. WHAT'S THE REASON?

It's fun to make a modpack, but there are two reasons that drive me away from continuing it for now:

• Time. I have to admit that the GCSE takes all of my time.

• Performance: It's not good on performance anymore, due to the fact that Sodium is not bundled and will not work, at least for now. It's not happy to see my work being beaten by just a mod that works totally fine: OptiFine.

PojavOptimize

Welcome to PojavOptimize, a modpack that can boost the performance of PojavLauncher...

...but wait, why did you make a separate repository for it?

That's because I'll maintain two variants of the modpack.

• The first is now called PojavOptimize: Original, well it's just your familiar modpack that can be accessed here.
• The second modpack is under the temporary name "apple", but I already have an official name for it, just wait for the final product to be done.

Okay, so are both versions maintained in this repository?

Sure.

Which versions are supported?

• PojavOptimize: Original currently supports Minecraft 1.16.x and 1.17.x.
• PojavOptimize "apple" is under construction, and you will see it come out for Minecraft 1.18.1/1.18.2.

PojavOptimize: Original for Minecraft 1.18.x will be a subset of "apple". That's what you know, for now.

Which mods are currently/will be added in PojavOptimize?

• For 1.16.5, see this
• For 1.17.1, see this. (Somehow Doregon ripped the old repo instead of just transferring ownership, sigh.)
• For 1.18.1/1.18.2:

...hmm, where is Sodium?

Downloads

The original repo doesn't have any releases, so I leave it here with my work for 1.17.1 (that has been abandoned, sorry). Just head to the Releases tab below and choose

For 1.17.1

• The High variant: has Sodium.
• The Low variant: doesn't have Sodium.

For 1.18.1:

• The "next" variant: PojavOptimize "apple". (still in alpha state)

For 1.18.2: (we still need to wait for mods to be stabilized)

Okay, this modpack is all about optimization. How optimized is it?

A test (for 1.16.5) has been made by Doregon, a developer of PojavLauncher, on an iOS device having Apple A9 chipset. The result is that PojavOptimize performs around 25% better than OptiFine (42 fps vs 32 fps).

Since more things are added in newer versions, should we take a look at many aspects as possible?

This table is the result tested on a Samsung Galaxy A12, with the Mediatek Helio G35 chipset, using PojavOptimize 0.3.0.

Aspect	Vanilla	PojavOptimize
Game loading time	95 seconds	127 seconds
Initial world loading time	(untested)	43 seconds
Normal world loading time	(untested)	23 seconds
Framerate	23 - 32 fps	27 - 39 fps
Integrated server latency	(untested)	(untested)
