Graphene

📖 **Overview** ---     --- The official developer will release a new optimized mod called **"OptiTritium"**(Tritium), based on this mod. Everyone is welcome to switch to **OptiTritium** and continue supporting us. Thank you for your unwavering support for the **Graphene** over the month. Graphene is a powerful, free and open-source performance mod for Minecraft 1.19.4 and above. It fixes a handful of vanilla bugs and boosts frame-rate, startup speed and server tick-time while remaining highly configurable and compatible with almost everything else in your mod folder. Whether you run a light client pack or a 400-mod kitchen-sink, Graphene usually “just works” and the gains are especially visible on crowded servers. --- ## 👀 What Graphene Does ### Performance - **Distant-tile suspension** – entities and TEs far away from players stop ticking, but bullets (TaCZ), the Ender Dragon, etc. are protected from freezing. - **Faster client bootstrap** – shave seconds off launch. - **Background throttling** – optional mode that lowers FPS and chunk updates when the window is out-of-focus; instantly restores on return. - **Quicker world-gen** – compatible with other chunk-acceleration mods. - **Light-engine tweaks** – reduce lighting recalculations. ### Rendering - **Leaf culling** (NeoForge ≤ 1.21.1 only). - **Static chest models** – chests are batched and skipped at long range (configurable distance). - **Reflex** – lowers render latency. ### Game-play fixes & tweaks - Boats no longer break or deal fall damage from any height (vanilla bug fix). - Ground-item merger – faster, configurable replacement for Stxck. - Bamboo light checks suppressed. - Language changes apply instantly; no resource-pack reload. - Several memory-leak patches ported from standalone mods. --- ## 🐛 Reporting Issues Open an issue on the official Graphene repo (link at the top of this page). Before you post: 1. Update to the latest build. 2. Try reproducing with default config – a few aggressive opts are off by default. 3. Attach the crash-log or latest.log. --- ## ❓ FAQ **Where is the newest file?** Head to the Modrinth project page – every approved build is there. **Can I ship it in my pack?** Yes. Graphene is MIT-licensed; redistribute freely. **Version support policy?** We target the platforms that need optimisation most first, then the widest-used versions, then the rest when time allows. | MC version | Forge | NeoForge | Fabric | Quilt | Plug-ins | |--------------|-------|----------|--------|-------|----------| | 1.21.6-1.21.8| plan | full | full | – | plan | | 1.21.3-1.21.5| – | paused | full | – | plan | | 1.21-1.21.1 | full | full | full | full | plan | | 1.20.3-1.20.6| plan* | – | partial| partial|plan | | 1.20.2 | full | – | full | full | plan | | 1.20.1 | full | full | full | full | plan | | 1.20 | full | – | plan | plan | plan | | 1.19.4 | full | – | plan | plan | – | | 1.12.2 | beta | – | – | – | – | *1.20.4 & 1.20.6 --- ## 🙋 My game crashed Do these checks before blaming Graphene: 1. Run Graphene alone – still crash? 2. Revert any config changes you made – fixed? 3. Suspect a mod conflict? Load only Graphene + the suspected mod in a clean instance. If the crash survives the steps above, open a GitHub issue with logs attached. ### ⚠️ Attention! Both Graphene and EntityCulling use LogisticsCraft/OcclusionCulling to implement similar features, which may cause conflicts! --- ## ❓ Something feels off? Graphene is built for the average player, not for one specific setup. Every optimisation can be toggled in `config/graphene.toml`. If a feature breaks your pack or feels wrong, just switch it off – the rest will still help. --- Enjoy the extra frames!
