Enhanced Block Entities vs Exordium

Enhanced Block Entities is a free, client-side Minecraft Java Edition mod that changes how selected block entities are rendered. It replaces some entity models with baked block models to target rendering performance, while preserving animations and rendering animated models only when needed. Listed optimised entities include ender chests, signs, bells, beds, shulker boxes and decorated pots. Visual options include smooth lighting, longer viewing distance, resource-pack remodeling and toggles such as Christmas chests. Resource packs can customise appearances, and a documented API lets other mods override configuration values or trigger a reload. EBE is described as a Fabric mod, with Fabric and Quilt listed as supported loaders, and it requires Fabric API. Minecraft Java compatibility spans versions 1.16.2 through 1.21.4. EBE 0.10.2 and newer work with Sodium 0.6 and newer without extra mods; earlier versions require Indium with Sodium 0.5.11 or below. The project is LGPL-3.0 licensed.

Exordium is a free, client-side Minecraft mod that renders selected vanilla interface elements at a configurable fixed frame rate. Lowering the interface rendering rate is intended to free CPU and GPU time for world rendering. Affected elements include overlays, the hotbar, crosshair, bossbars, the debug screen, titles, scoreboard, and chat. It is listed for Minecraft 1.19.4 and later on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with Fabric, NeoForge, Forge, and Quilt support. The project links to CurseForge and Modrinth for downloads, and does not require Sodium or support dedicated servers. The repository lists compatibility with several mods, including Sodium, Iris, Optifine, AppleSkin, JourneyMap, and BetterF3; VulkanMod is listed as incompatible. Only the vanilla GUI is supported, so mod-rendered interface elements may not work. Screen-setting support remains unfinished, is disabled by default, and can have transparency issues. The project is in maintenance mode, with no new features or fixes planned for bugs involving other mods.
