Clumps is great on 1.12 and some older versions, but it's just outdated and unnecessary on newer versions. As a past review said, the way the mod "combines" the XP orbs is in a clunky way, and while there is a slight performance boost on a big modded server or huge modpack or a huge world full of XP farms, many singleplayer users will never make enough XP orbs to effect performance greatly, or for this mod to have a noticeable increase in performance.

Sodium or any other modern alternative and any culling mod will make a far bigger performance boost than XP clumping ever will.

Not sure if anyone realizes, but modern vanilla Minecraft clumps XP orbs too! And it doesn't take a clunky mod!

I have no idea why this mod is one of the most downloaded of all time, sure it's fine but not necessary like some players may think.
