BadOptimizations vs More Culling

BadOptimizations is a free Minecraft mod aimed at client-side frame-rate performance. It uses a multi-loader setup and lists compatibility with Minecraft 1.21.6, 1.21.7 and 26.2. The mod runs on the game client, so its stated performance focus concerns the player’s local installation rather than server operation. Dedicated server support is not provided. Sodium is not required, leaving it independent of that particular mod dependency. The project is distributed through its Modrinth website and has a free plan. Its multi-loader designation is relevant for players whose installations use different supported loader environments. Before installing, players need to match the mod to one of the listed Minecraft versions and to their chosen loader. Server administrators should distinguish this client scope from server-side tools, since the entry lists no dedicated-server capability. BadOptimizations is therefore a client performance option for compatible Minecraft releases, with version and loader compatibility forming the main setup considerations.

More Culling is a free Minecraft: Java Edition mod that changes how the game skips rendering objects the player cannot see. Its project wiki describes techniques for block states, item frames, leaves, and paintings, along with custom culling shapes and model shapes for resource packs. API guidance covers custom block culling and troubleshooting culling issues on modded blocks. The listed Minecraft versions are 1.18.x through 1.21.x and 26.1.x through 26.3. Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt are listed as supported loaders. The project information lists client-side and client-and-server environments, while the supplied compatibility details specify client scope and no dedicated server support. More Culling requires Cloth Config. The related MoreCullingExtra extension adds culling combinations involving glass panes, glass, and beacons. The mod is licensed GPL-3.0-only. Its maintainer permits modpack use with attribution, but asks users to obtain permission before merging it into a client or another mod. The project directs bug reports to its issue tracker and also links to a Discord server.
