NoisiumForked
This mod is a fork of the original Noisium modification, whose development has been discontinued. The main goal of the fork is to ensure compatibility with future Minecraft versions.
What This Mod Improves
Noisium optimizes world generation procedures that are typically not addressed by other optimization mods – filling gaps in overall performance. The key enhancement concerns the NoiseChunkGenerator#populateNoise method, which now operates significantly faster when placing blocks in new chunks.
Instead of using standard abstractions and built-in functions, the mod directly sets blocks in the storage palette, bypassing redundant calculations. While these computations are useful for individual block operations, they unnecessarily slow down the world creation process.
Additional optimizations include:
- Acceleration of biome identification
- Faster determination of block characteristics
- Optimization of chunk unlocking (starting from Minecraft 1.21)
Full Compatibility with Vanilla Generation
It's important to note that Noisium ensures 100% identity of world generation – changes relate exclusively to execution speed, without affecting the final result.
Performance can improve by several seconds and even tens of seconds depending on the volume of chunks generated.
Compatibility with Other Mods
Optimization Packages
Noisium works perfectly with the most popular optimization mods, as it is designed to fill gaps in their functionality. Compatible solutions include:
- C2ME: accelerates all world generation threads (multi-threaded biome operations were removed from Noisium in version 1.0.2 in favor of C2ME's more efficient implementation)
- Sodium and Lithium: full compatibility
- Nvidium: works without conflicts
- Distant Horizons: accelerates LOD chunk creation threads
- ReTerraForged: has built-in support for Noisium optimizations
Technical Requirements
Modloaders: Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge Installation type: Server-side (also works on client for single-player games and LAN) Multiplayer: Yes (accelerates only server-side generation)
