## For Fabric📜 and NeoForge🦊

An open-source modpack that optimizes the overall UX and performance, while staying true to the vanilla Minecraft experience.

While most performance-focused modpacks aim at just higher FPS, this modpack focuses on optimizing the user experience and stability, as well, and yet still manages to outperform many in benchmarks.

The modpack does not provide any QoL or OptiFine-parity mods, but some deliberately selected mods to boost your gaming experience! Besides these optimization mods, the modpack also provides some essentials, like No Chat Reports, and other modpack-centric mods.

You are expected to add any _non-optimization_ mods you want, yourself. If you face any issues, you are free to ask for help on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/kfKjjhv3pn) server.

If you find a bug or want to suggest any feature, you can issue a [🐞Bug Report | 💡Suggestion](https://github.com/UltimatChamp/ExceptionallyOptimized/issues/new/choose). Alternatively, you can ask for help or give a suggestion on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/kfKjjhv3pn) server.

## 📈Further Ways to Increase the Performance

• Recommended JVM arguments.
• ```
• -XX:+UseZGC -XX:+ZGenerational
• ```
• Mods that do not go hand-in-hand with the modpack's approach:
• - Exordium, Let Me Despawn, Leaves Be Gone, Alternate Current, ServerCore, Fast Item Frames
• - _and more..._
• Lowering down various vanilla options. You don't need the highest settings if you can't play the game.
• Disabling particles and other things using Sodium Extra.

## 🖥️Benchmarks

Here is a benchmark with some of the most popular modpacks.

• The following things were taken into account with the benchmark:
• - VSync is turned `OFF` and the Max FPS is set to `Unlimited`.
• - Nvidium is disabled for a fair benchmark for those modpacks that do not include it.
• - No other changes were made, so do not take this benchmark AS seriously.
• - The same world file is copied to all the packs.

Although, ExceptionallyOptimized does manage to outperform these modpacks, you should not just look at the numbers. Here is a summary of the results:

• ExceptionallyOptimized, Thunder and Optimization _(silly name ;p)_ are well-within the error margin and perform almost exactly the same in this scenario. These modpacks might perform differently in different scenarios.
• - It should also be noted that ExceptionallyOptimized is not limited to only optimization mods.
• - Thunder mostly uses the default vanilla/mod configurations, and thus, also has a slight disadvantage.
• Adrenaline also has a disadvantage as it does not include any unofficial/unpublished mod files.
• SimplyOptimized is clearly the worst one of all. It uses very experimental options and has most vanilla options set to their lower values and still performs the worst. It is not recommended to use this modpack anymore.

- Why is Fast Better Grass included?

There is a slight performance gain noticed with this resource-pack, while also making the grass look good.
