Description
🚀 Hardly Optimised
The definitive Fabric performance pack for 1.16.5 → 1.21.x
Tested on i5-4570/4GB DDR3/Tiny11 - No theoretical benchmarks!
⚠️ Critical Warning: Minecraft 1.21.5-1.21.7 Unsupported
All versions between 1.21.5 and 1.21.7 suffer from severe Intel GPU freezes (Mojang-confirmed bug).
- ❌ No longer supported in this modpack
- ❌ No stability fixes will be backported
- ✅ Upgrade to 1.21.8 immediately for crash fixes
This is not optional if you use:
- Intel UHD
- Any integrated GPU
- Low-end systems
Continuing to use 1.21.5-1.21.7 may corrupt worlds during freezes.
