Citric

 --- **Critical and Intensive Tweaks in Rendering for Increased Computation** Citric is a next-gen, ultra-lightweight **Minecraft optimization modpack** designed to **squeeze** every bit of performance out of the game. Unlike other packs, Citric prioritizes **raw FPS gains over visual fidelity**, making it the ultimate choice for players who want **maximum smoothness** at any cost. ## ⚡ Features - **Optimized for Maximum FPS** – Uses the most aggressive tweaks to boost performance. - **Lightweight and Efficient** – Only includes necessary optimizations, nothing extra. - **No unnecessities** - Cuts down all the unnecessary renders for Minecraft to ensure the maximum output. - **Sodium-Based** – Ensures wide compatibility with most mods, supporting **Minecraft 1.21.4 and beyond**. ## 📜 Included Mods Click to expand ## Core Optimization Mods - **Sodium** – The foundation of Citric, Sodium replaces Minecraft’s vanilla renderer with a much more efficient one, drastically improving frame rates. - **Lithium** – Optimizes physics calculations, AI processing, and world ticking, reducing unnecessary CPU usage and improving server-side performance. - **Palladium** – Provides deduplication, improved memory control, shader/chunk/nbt optimizations and enchanced mob AI. - **Alternate Current** – Replaces Minecraft's redstone simulation with a more efficient system, reducing lag from complex redstone contraptions. - **FerriteCore** – Reduces memory usage by optimizing how Minecraft stores block and chunk data, helping with RAM efficiency. ## Rendering & FPS Enhancements - **More Culling** – Prevents Minecraft from rendering unnecessary parts of the world by aggressively culling blocks, reducing GPU workload. - **Entity Culling** – Skips rendering entities that are not visible to the player, drastically improving performance in entity-heavy areas. - **Cull Leaves** – Optimizes the rendering of tree leaves by reducing transparency calculations, helping with GPU load. - **ImmediatelyFast** – Removes various animation delays and improves immediate rendering of UI elements, increasing responsiveness. - **Exordium** – Optimizes rendering of GUI elements to use fewer resources, improving performance in menus and inventory screens. ## Chunk & World Optimization - **Concurrent Chunk Management Engine (CCME)** – Replaces vanilla’s chunk loading system with an asynchronous, parallelized approach, significantly improving chunk loading speeds. - **Async** – Further optimizes async operations, reducing main-thread overhead related to chunk loading and saving. - **ScalableLux** – Enhances block lighting updates for better multithreading efficiency, reducing lag spikes caused by lighting calculations. - **Collision Fix** – Fixes inefficient collision detection, preventing unnecessary CPU cycles from being wasted on physics calculations. ## Memory & Backend Improvements - **Enhanced Block Entities** – Improves how Minecraft handles block entities like chests and signs, reducing FPS drops in areas with many interactive blocks. - **ToadLib** – A lightweight performance library that enhances compatibility between optimization mods. - **YetAnotherConfigLibrary** – Provides an advanced configuration system for Citric, allowing for fine-tuning of settings. - **Noisium** – Optimizes noise generation, which is critical for terrain and biome generation, reducing world-gen lag. ## Essential Dependencies - **Fabric API** – The core library required for most Fabric mods, ensuring compatibility. - **Sodium Extra** – Adds additional configuration options to Sodium, allowing for further tweaking of graphics settings. - **Text Placeholder API** – Provides an optimized text rendering system, reducing lag in UI-heavy environments. - **Cloth Config API** – Enables smooth configuration management for all mods in Citric. --- These optimizations work together to create an ultra-lightweight, high-performance experience, ensuring maximum FPS without unnecessary visual enhancements. Citric is designed for players who prioritize raw performance over aesthetics. ## 🔧 Ideal Use Case Citric is perfect for: - **Low-end PCs** that struggle with Minecraft’s default performance. They benefit the most from Citric. - **Competitive players** who need **the highest FPS possible** for smooth gameplay. - **Anyone who values raw speed** over graphical fidelity. ## 🚀 Get Started 1. Install Citric through Modrinth. 2. Launch Minecraft and enjoy the **fastest** experience possible!
