Dynamic FPS vs Krypton

Dynamic FPS is a free Minecraft client mod focused on frame-rate performance. It supports multiple mod loaders and is listed for Minecraft versions from 1.14.3–1.14.4 through 26.3.0, including 1.15.x, 1.16.2–1.16.5, 1.17.x, 1.18.x, 1.19.x, 1.20.x, 1.21.x, 26.1.x, and 26.2.0. Sodium is not required. The project is available through its Modrinth page, and its pricing model is free with a free plan. The available description identifies its frame-rate focus but does not specify particular controls or a stated performance result. Version matching is therefore the main setup detail to check before installation. Users should select a listed game version and compatible mod loader for their client.

Krypton is a free Fabric mod that optimizes Minecraft networking and entity tracking, with its performance work directed mainly at servers. It works on both clients and servers, including dedicated servers. Its network handlers are based on optimized Netty handlers from the Velocity proxy, using native code where appropriate. Flush consolidation is intended to reduce server CPU use and tick times and lessen the impact of speculative-execution hardware vulnerabilities. Other small optimizations target memory use and packet serialization speed. Krypton is tuned for Linux, though it should work wherever Minecraft can run. CurseForge lists Fabric and Quilt as supported loaders. The project aims to work with Fabric API, Lithium, and Sodium; compatibility with other mods is best effort. It is licensed under LGPL-3.0-only, and the maker does not guarantee stability, compatibility, or support for every setup. The project is described as feature-stable, while updates for newer Minecraft versions depend on the maker's availability and need. Listed compatibility includes Minecraft Java Edition versions 1.16.2 through 1.16.5, 1.17.x, 1.18.1 through 1.18.2, 1.19.x, 1.20.x, 1.21.x, and 26.1 through 26.3.
