What it does

VanillaFix works only on the client, so players install it and servers do not need it. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is released under the MIT License, which makes it open source. Files cover one game version, 1.12.2, on the Forge loader only, with the latest build 1.0.10-150 dated 2020-10-27.

Key features

  1. Fewer restart crashes

    The mod is intended to stop crashes that happen when the game is restarted during a session.

  2. Higher frame rate

    The author reports frame rates up to three times higher in some setups, with the gain depending on the machine.

  3. Client-only install

    Changes apply on the client alone, so multiplayer servers can run without installing anything.

Questions

Which Minecraft versions does VanillaFix support?

Files exist for 1.12.2 only, on the Forge loader. No other game version or loader has a published file for this mod.
