FalseTweaks

by FalsePattern

FalseTweaks is a Forge optimization mod for Minecraft 1.7.10 that changes how the game renders blocks, lighting, beacon beams and animated textures.

What it does

Rendering changes in FalseTweaks replace several parts of vanilla drawing. Quad-based rendering is swapped for triangle-based rendering, item models are drawn with a voxel-based renderer, and multithreaded chunk rendering is included, which the author states works alongside OptiFine's FastCraft. Smooth lighting receives fixes for vanilla ambient occlusion bugs, including MC-138211 and MC-43968, and light leaking across chunk boundaries is corrected. Tile entity render order is also adjusted, and beacon beam rendering and animated textures are optimized.

Each change is a separate tweak that can be toggled on or off in the configuration, so a server or player can keep only the parts they want. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and publishes its source code and issue tracker. FalseTweaks requires FalsePatternLib and UniMixins, and Colored Lights (RPLE) requires it in turn. Beddium, Lumi Lighting Engine Optimizer, Right Proper MCPatcher and SwanSong Shaders are optional companions.

Key features

  1. Triangle-based rendering

    Block faces are drawn as triangles in place of vanilla quads, the core change of the rendering tweaks.

  2. Smooth lighting fixes

    Ambient occlusion and smooth lighting bugs from vanilla, including MC-138211 and MC-43968, are corrected.

  3. Voxel item rendering

    Items are drawn with a voxel-based renderer that replaces the vanilla item model drawing.

  4. Animated texture optimization

    Animated textures are optimized, and mcmeta files may define layered textures with numbered layer suffixes.

  5. Individually toggled tweaks

    Every tweak can be switched on or off in the config, so each change can be tested alone.

How it compares

Full comparison

Beddium is a client-side only Forge mod for 1.7.10 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it does not run on servers. SwanSong Shaders is client-side only for 1.7.10 under the Open Software License 3.0. Mobs Optimized Render is a 1.16.5 client-required Forge mod under the MIT License, and MicroOptimizations targets 1.8.9 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, so neither covers the same version as FalseTweaks.

Questions

Does FalseTweaks need FalsePatternLib?

Yes. FalsePatternLib is a required dependency, and UniMixins is also required, so both must be installed next to FalseTweaks.

Can FalseTweaks run on a server?

Yes. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so a server can add it without requiring it.

Can each rendering change be disabled?

Yes. Every tweak is individually toggled on or off in the configuration, so a player can keep only the changes they want.
