GPUBooster

by Mr.Toad

With GPUBooster installed, the game's render system uses DSA and faster math routines for buffers, textures and framebuffers, aiming for higher frame rates on the client.

What it does

The mod changes how the render system handles GPU objects. It applies DSA calls to VBO, EBO, FBO and texture handling, adds a pool system for VBOs and EBOs, caches VAO formats, and batches UI text. Vectorized math comes from the jdk.incubator.vector module, and a GL targets cache avoids repeated lookups. Fast collections are used in some loading systems.

The author reports a frame rate rise from 1100 to 1200 on 1.21.11 without other mods, measured by the author; results will vary with hardware and settings. RBO depth is not compatible with shaderpacks. Since 1.21.10, GpuTape support is discontinued in favor of this mod. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Required dependencies are Fabric API and ToadLib, and Mod Menu is optional.

Key features

  1. DSA buffer and texture calls

    Direct state access calls manage VBO, EBO, FBO and texture objects without binding them first.

  2. Pool system

    VBO and EBO objects are drawn from a pool, so buffers are reused instead of being recreated.

  3. Vectorized math

    Math formulas run through vector operations provided by the jdk.incubator.vector module.

  4. UI text batching

    Text in the interface is grouped into batches to reduce the number of draw calls.

Questions

Which loaders does GPUBooster support?

Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The latest Fabric and Quilt files target 26.2, the latest Forge file targets 1.21.5, and the latest NeoForge file targets 1.21.1.

Does GPUBooster work with shaderpacks?

Most of it does, but RBO depth is not compatible with shaderpacks, so that part of the mod does not apply when shaders are active.

What the author says

Since 1.1.1, server part of mod moved to separate server-only mod NumFlux. Requires a JVM argument to run: - Find the JVM arguments list in your launcher and add --add-modules jdk.incubator.vector to it. - Detailed guide for popular launchers
