Magnesium Mod

Magnesium (formerly known as Sodium Reforged) is an unofficial adaptation for the Forge platform of CaffeineMC's "Sodium" mod, originally created for Fabric.

Graphics Optimization

Magnesium is a free, open-source rendering engine that significantly increases frame rates, minimizes micro-stuttering, and fixes graphical artifacts in Minecraft. The mod provides excellent compatibility with the Forge mod ecosystem while maintaining the authentic block game feel without compromising graphics quality.

Key Advantages

Performance Enhancement

Modern OpenGL rendering pipeline for chunk rendering utilizes multi-draw technology, reducing CPU load by up to 90% during world rendering. This dramatically improves FPS on most computers not bottlenecked by the GPU.

Resource Efficiency

Chunk geometry data is optimized for minimal consumption, reducing video memory and bandwidth requirements by 40%. Invisible blocks are culled early in the rendering process, which is particularly important for integrated GPUs.

Multithreading and Stability

Nearby block updates now use multithreading, significantly reducing lag spikes during chunk rebuilding. Numerous optimizations for chunk loading and block rendering make the process smoother.

Visual Improvements

Fixes for smooth lighting of fluids and special blocks. Smooth biome blending for blocks and fluids significantly improves graphics quality with lower computational costs. Animated textures not visible on screen are not updated - this speeds up texture processing.

FAQ

Question: Is version 1.18 available? Answer: Yes, right now.

Question: When will shaders be available? Answer: After the Lilac project stabilizes.

Compatibility

The mod is NOT compatible and will never be compatible with Optifine or Halogen.
