Beta Plutonium

by Meta4245

Beta Plutonium, a Fabric optimization mod for Minecraft Beta b1.7.3, removes several rendering and interface features to reduce work during play.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen sourceb1.7.3

What it does

Beta Plutonium turns off parts of the rendering pipeline on the client. The light engine is removed, flowing lava and water textures are no longer rendered, and the sky and weather are skipped entirely. Achievement toasts are also removed, so the game shows no pop-up notifications when an achievement is earned. The math helper used by the mod, MCMath, is made faster.

The author describes the changes as dangerous, radioactive and incompatible with other optimizations, and the mod sends a log message at startup to say so. Because the changes alter how the world looks and how the game draws it, players should expect visible differences from vanilla b1.7.3. The mod is published for Babric on Fabric and covers only Minecraft b1.7.3.

Installation requires Glass Config API and ModMenu Beta. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Beta Plutonium is released under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Snapshot builds are also published.

Key features

  1. Light engine removal

    The light engine is taken out, which avoids its lighting calculations during rendering.

  2. Sky and weather skipped

    The sky and weather are not drawn, so those render passes do not run.

  3. Lava and water textures

    The animated flowing textures for lava and water are removed from rendering.

  4. Achievement toasts removed

    Achievement pop-up notifications no longer appear when an achievement is earned.
