Overdrive is a client-side Fabric performance mod that runs at maximum aggression from the moment you launch Minecraft. It does not wait for lag. It culls, budgets, and optimizes every frame — and only eases off when you already have FPS headroom (Adaptive Relax).
This is not a Sodium replacement. Overdrive is the brain that sits beside Sodium + Lithium and decides what your GPU is allowed to draw.

Optional: Mod Menu, Entity Culling, Iris
What Overdrive always does
- Max aggression by default — starts at 4/4; only relaxes with Adaptive Relax
- Render budgets — per-frame caps on entities, items, and XP orbs
- Smart culling — entities, block entities, particles, item frames
- Scenario brain — auto-detects farms, PvP, building, idle
- Spike prediction — tightens before FPS drops
- Entity LOD — strips labels, armor, features, shadows at distance
- Stack orchestration — works with Sodium under load
- Visual FX savings — bobbing, portal, fire overlay reductions
