Mercurizer

and patreon(check links) ---  **A Sodium addon built for hardware that can't handle Sodium.** Most "performance" mods assume you have a dedicated GPU and at least 8GB of RAM. Mercurizer doesn't. It's a Sodium addon designed specifically for integrated graphics, 4GB of RAM, and the kind of PC that struggles with Windows 10. ---  Sodium is great — but it still has a performance floor that leaves a lot of players behind, especially in developing countries where "gaming PC" means integrated graphics and 4GB of RAM, not a GTX 1080 Ti. Mercurizer goes further. The goal is simple: > Give players with low-end hardware the ability to play Minecraft at a smooth framerate. ### What makes it different from plain Sodium? * **Auto-tuning benchmark** — on the first 3 launches, Mercurizer benchmarks your GPU upload bandwidth, round-trip driver latency, and CPU throughput, then automatically tunes chunk upload budgets and texture animation thresholds to match your exact hardware. Results are averaged across all 3 runs for accuracy, and re-run automatically if you change GPU or drivers * **Adaptive refinement** — after 30 seconds of stable gameplay, Mercurizer refines its tuning based on real in-game frame times, improving accuracy beyond what the startup benchmark alone can achieve * **Anti-stutter recovery** — upload fraction cuts quickly when frames spike, recovers slowly when stable, preventing the oscillation that causes micro-stutters * **VSync-aware** — automatically applies a more conservative upload budget when VSync is enabled to avoid blocking the render thread * **Safety mode for old hardware** — Intel Gen 8 and older, and certain AMD driver configurations, automatically get conservative single-threaded settings that prevent driver crashes * **Real low-end benchmarks** — tested on actual budget hardware. 37 FPS to 114 FPS on integrated graphics — 3.08x Sodium's performance!  *Specs: MacBook Air 2017, i5-5350U, 8GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 6000, Debian 13 (KDE Plasma)* *Settings: 16 chunks render distance, Vsync off, rest is vanilla, in a normal world (no superflat/amplified/etc)* *Mercurizer Version: 0.9.1-beta.2+mc26.2-1.1, 0.9.1-beta.2+mc26.1.2-1.1, 0.8.9+mc26.1.1-1.5, 0.8.9+mc26.1-1.5 and 0.8.13-beta.2+mc1.21.11-1.1* ---  * Players on integrated graphics (Intel HD, AMD Vega, etc.) * Players with 4GB of RAM or less * Anyone who tried Sodium and still struggled * Players in developing countries where budget hardware is the norm ---  * **Minecraft:** 1.21.11+ (Java Edition) * **Loader:** Fabric * Requires Sodium to be installed alongside it * Fully compatible with Iris, Sodium Extra, and Reese's Sodium Options --- **Expect bugs** — Mercurizer is in active development. If something breaks, report it and include your hardware specs.
