Addoners Optimizers
by Mcbugsaddon
Addoners Optimizers is a client-side Fabric mod that lowers selected video settings when the frame rate drops, and raises them back when it recovers.
What it does
Once every second, Addoners Optimizers reads the player's frame rate as a rolling average and switches between one of three optimization levels. Level choice follows the measured FPS: a minimal level above 80 FPS, moderate reductions between 50 and 79 FPS, and stronger reductions aimed at frame stability on weaker systems. Changes made to render distance, particle settings, smooth lighting and shader quality are spaced by a 3-second cooldown, which limits rapid back-and-forth switching.
Once a profile is set, the optimizer starts automatically when Minecraft launches, so no command or button press is needed during play. Setup still requires a manual step, and the performance gain varies with hardware, render distance and shader configuration. Testing was done mainly on systems running Fabric with Sodium-based rendering under different render distances and shader setups.
Addoners Optimizers is built for Fabric and runs on the client only, so servers do not need it. It is published for Minecraft 26.1.2 alone, with the latest file 1.5.0 dated 2026-04-14. The project is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code is public.
Key features
Rolling FPS sampling
The frame rate is measured once per second and averaged over a rolling window before any setting changes.
Three optimization levels
Minimal, moderate and aggressive levels reduce video settings in steps that match the measured frame rate.
Adjusts video settings
Render distance, particle settings, smooth lighting and shader quality are the settings the optimizer changes.
Change cooldown
A 3-second wait between changes keeps the settings from fluctuating rapidly as the frame rate moves.

How it compares
Farla's Hotbar Optimizer is also client-side only and Fabric-based, but it is limited to 26.1.2 and is not open source under the MIT License. Cukkoo's Quality of Life runs on client and server, is open source under the MIT License, and covers 26.1 – 26.1.2, so it is a broader choice that also needs installing on the server.
