📋 About This Mod
This mod requires **MixinBootstrap** ((https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/mixinbootstrap), (https://modrinth.com/mod/mixinbootstrap)) to run!<br> **Mixin 0.7-0.8 Compatibility** ((https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/mixin-0-7-0-8-compatibility), (https://modrinth.com/mod/mixincompat)) might be helpful when another mod uses an older mixin version and you are thus unable to launch the game. **Nothirium** is a client-side only mod that changes Minecraft's chunk rendering engine to use modern OpenGL which greatly increases performance. This mod is similar to Sodium but this is not a port of Sodium. Full Incompatibilities - FarPlane2 - LittleTiles - Albedo - Colored Lux Partial Incompatibilities - Optifine: Make sure that 'Smart Animations' is disabled in the graphics settings. Also custom block render layers from Optifine won't work with Nothirium. - VanillaFix: Make sure that 'textureFixes' is disabled in the VanillaFix config. - CensoredASM: Make sure that 'onDemandAnimatedTextures' is disabled in the CensoredASM/LoliASM config.
