Bedrodium

by kirillirik

Bedrodium removes the hidden faces of bedrock on the client, so low-end machines draw fewer polygons in the world.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.17.1 – 1.21.5

What it does

The mod deletes the lowest bedrock polygons in the overworld, and in the Nether it deletes both the floor and ceiling layers, since those faces are not visible to a player under normal conditions. A face is drawn again only when it becomes visible. It runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers need nothing. Bedrodium requires Sodium and is published for Fabric only, across 17 release versions, 1.17.1 – 1.21.5, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the mod is open source.

Key features

  1. Hidden bedrock faces removed

    Bottom bedrock polygons in the overworld are deleted, reducing the geometry the client must render.

  2. Nether layers removed

    Both bottom and top bedrock layers are deleted in the Nether, where the ceiling and floor are the only exposed sides.

  3. Faces restored when visible

    A removed face returns when a player can actually see it, so the look of the world is kept.

Questions

Does Bedrodium need Sodium?

Yes. Sodium is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Bedrodium on Fabric.

Do servers need Bedrodium?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

What the author says

Small optimization by removing the invisible sides of the bedrock. For the player, these sides are visible only when necessary.(The bottom layer of polygons in the normal world will be deleted, and the bottom and top layers in the nether world).
