Lithium is a free and open-source Minecraft mod that optimizes many areas of the game engine to improve overall performance without changing gameplay mechanics or visuals. It works on both client and server, supports Fabric and NeoForge mod loaders, and is designed as a drop-in mod compatible with most other mods.

Use cases

  • improve minecraft fps without changing gameplay
  • optimize minecraft tick performance
  • reduce lag on a modded minecraft server
  • performance mod compatible with other mods
  • speed up minecraft world ticking and entity updates

When to choose

  • you want a well-maintained, actively developed optimization mod
