📋 About This Mod

Adrenaline is a **client-side** or **server-side** modpack, developed for Fabric, comprised of the **best combination of mods** (e.g. Sodium and Lithium, along with many more) that significantly improves rendering performance, logic performance, memory usage, and more - all without compromising on the game's vanilla looks and features! It is designed to be simple and not include any quality-of-life mods, along with not including redundant performance mods. Because of this simplicity, the modpack is compatible with a very wide range of devices and can be updated to the latest versions very quickly. Want more features? No problem! Adrenaline serves as a great foundation for performance - simply add your favorite mods on top. For the list of mods that are included, see this (https://skywardmc.org/adrenaline/performance-features). Adrenaline can be installed on both clients and servers, so this list tells you what is installed depending on the environment. !(https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@intergrav/devins-badges@3/assets/compact/supported/fabric_vector.svg) (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@intergrav/devins-badges@3/assets/compact/social/discord-plural_vector.svg)](https://discord.gg/36Tv44cYte) (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@intergrav/devins-badges@3/assets/compact/available/github_vector.svg)](https://github.com/skywardmc/adrenaline) # 📥 Installation Guide **Please be sure to read Sodium's (https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric/wiki/Driver-Compatibility) section on the wiki before installing Adrenaline.

Installing Adrenaline on a server

Adrenaline also optionally functions server-side! We now use Modrinth's mrpack environment feature to install the proper mods for the correct environment.

Aternos supports installing Adrenaline by going to `Software -> Change -> Modpacks -> Modrinth -> Adrenaline`, which will speed up your server by quite a lot without affecting vanilla behavior.

📦 Install using mrpack-install

Download `mrpack-install` through (https://github.com/nothub/mrpack-install/releases) (or your distro's package if it has one) and take a look at the commands on the (https://github.com/nothub/mrpack-install). In Adrenaline's case, to install in your server you would run:

```sh mrpack-install adrenaline ```
