Amazingly Optimized is a performance-first Fabric modpack built to squeeze every last frame out of your game — then spend those frames on gorgeous shaders and tasteful visual upgrades.

*Built for Minecraft 26.1.2 (Fabric).*

## Why Amazingly Optimized?
- **Big FPS gains out of the box** — a curated stack of the best optimization mods, tuned to work together.
- **Plug-and-play shaders** — Iris comes pre-installed with four hand-picked shaderpacks. Turn one on and go.
- **Vanilla gameplay, untouched** — every mod here improves performance, visuals, or convenience. Your worlds stay 100% vanilla-compatible.
- **Lighter on RAM and CPU** — push your render distance further and multitask without the stutter.

## Performance
The heart of the pack. These mods boost frame rates, smooth out chunk loading, and cut memory use — without changing how the game plays:
- **Sodium** — a complete rendering overhaul for massive FPS gains
- **Lithium** — optimizes physics, mob AI, and ticking with zero gameplay changes
- **FerriteCore** — dramatically lower memory usage
- **ScalableLux** — multithreaded lighting for stutter-free world loading
- **Concurrent Chunk Management Engine (C2ME)** & **Noisium** — faster, parallel world generation
- **ImmediatelyFast, BadOptimizations, Krypton, Exordium** — faster UI, networking, and rendering under the hood
- **MoreCulling, Entity Culling & Cull Leaves** — stop rendering what you can't see
- **Dynamic FPS** — drops resource use when the game is minimized or in the background
- **spark** — a built-in profiler if you ever want to inspect performance
...plus a full suite of chunk-saving, redstone, and server-side optimizations working quietly in the background.
