Argonyte
by FanofModding
Argonyte is a client-side FPS counter that draws a small, color-coded frame rate label in the top-left corner of the screen.
What it does
The label shows the frame rate calculated in real time, not the smoothed value Minecraft's own F3 counter displays. Each reading is color coded: blue for 90 FPS and above, green for 60 to 89, yellow for 30 to 59, and red at 30 FPS or lower, where the frame rate is considered to need optimization. The text is white on a semi-transparent background so it stays readable over busy scenes.
The counter is aimed at players who watch performance while they play: benchmarking modpacks, streaming frame rate, tracking down lag spikes or comparing setups. It draws on only the Fabric API modules it needs and is described by its author as having near-zero performance impact. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge and needs Mod Menu to appear as an optional dependency, which adds a settings screen for changing the label position.
Key features
Real-time frame rate
The value is computed from actual frame timing rather than copied from the F3 counter's smoothed average.
Color-coded readings
Four color bands mark 90 FPS and up, 60 to 89, 30 to 59, and 30 or lower, so a drop is visible at a glance.
Readable overlay
A white label on a semi-transparent background keeps the number legible over bright or busy terrain.
Fixed corner placement
The label sits 10 by 10 pixels from the top-left corner, and its position can be changed through the configuration.
