Tekst
Tekst changes how Minecraft draws text, aiming to speed up chat and tooltips that contain many formatted characters.
What it does
The mod targets text rendering in scenes that carry heavy formatting, such as shadows, underlines and strikethroughs, where each formatted glyph costs extra work. Its author notes that the gain is most visible on busy multiplayer servers with dense chat, nametags and formatting, such as Hypixel. The mod is client-side only, so a player installs it alone and servers do not need it. It is published for Fabric alone, with a single 1.0.0 build for 1.21.1 on the beta channel, and requires Fabric API. Tekst is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features

Client-side changes only
All work happens in the player's client, so the server does not have to run anything extra.
