SuperchargedChunkLoading
by Nixuge
With SuperchargedChunkLoading, players on Forge 1.8.9 can push chunk loading to use more threads, at the cost of higher memory use and lower frame rates.
What it does
The mod is a legacy Forge mod for 1.8.9 that changes how chunks load. Its description warns that memory use can be high and that frame rate may drop while chunks are loaded, because chunk compilation is given priority over other work. The author describes this as the trade-off to accept when chunk loading speed is wanted above everything else.
Vanilla Minecraft already loads chunks on several threads, and the author notes that raising the thread count in vanilla settings changes little. The mod adapts the thread count to the resources available, which is why the author suggests OptiFine as the more likely choice for most players. SuperchargedChunkLoading suits anyone who wants to dedicate resources strictly to loading chunks. Its name is described by the author as a little exaggerated.
Only the client needs the mod, so a server does not have to run it. The only file is 0.1.2 for 1.8.9, published on 2023-07-01 on the beta channel. It is released under The Unlicense and is open source, and public links to the source code and issue tracker are available.

What the author says
The mod name is technically a bit clickbaity, Minecraft's chunkloading is already multithreaded, except: - In vanilla the threadcount is so low it basically doesn't do much - When using Optifine (which you most likely should instead of this mod) it adapts the threadcount based on your available ressources, which is…
