FramePace
by Lap2ka
FramePace is a client-side optimization for frame pacing on the 26.2 build, targeting stutter under heavy GPU load.
What it does
The mod addresses a frame pacing regression in 26.2 where the game stutters under heavy GPU load, reported on Nvidia and Intel hardware. It is built from a single mixin and is mostly noticeable when shaders are active, on the OpenGL path. Integrated Sodium support has existed since version 0.9.2, and the author notes that the idea was not taken from Sodium.
Key features

Minimal footprint

What the author says
FramePace is an extremely simple, 1 mixin mod for Fabric and NeoForge. It fixes a new performance regression in 26.2 where the game has horrible frame pacing when the Nvidia or Intel GPU is under heavy load. This is mostly visible with shaders and only happens on OpenGL.
