I launch unmodified BCG+ with curseforge, using Java runtime 21 (I think). I've allocated 6GB of RAM, and have not yet tried playing with other people.

I'm new to BCG+ (and modded MC in general) and am experiencing average FPS of 10-15. I've tried to adjust the video settings in game to be as non-demanding as possible, but I just don't think my GPU is good enough for this modpack. Are there other tips for how to reduce the graphics demand of this pack? Are there certain mods within the pack we can disable that will help with performance?

Thank you!

if you can, install and use java 17.

as for fps issues,

open your map with m
look for FTB Chunk Overlay on the right sidebar
Toggle it Off
lower render distance and shadow distance

Thanks for your response! I toggled FTB off, lowered render distance to 50 and disabled entity shadows, but the FPS issues persist.
I'm not totally sure how to tell which Java version I'm using, or how I would change that. (Launching from curseforge makes things more confusing). Do you have any tips or resources on how to do that?

50 render distance?

Sorry i meant entity render percentage. I brought my chunk render distance down to 2, and am now averaging 15-17 FPS so a little improvement

ah i see, what sort of hardware specs you got going?

Not super computer-savvy, but I think this the important stuff:

Intel i9 processor 3.2 GHz
32 GB RAM
Windows 11 64 bit
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

lmk if I'm missing anything important!

Are there particular graphical improvement mods / shaders that are safe to deactivate that might be taxing my GPU?

try removing the shader toggle mod

Alright! So that took me on a wild journey of removing the mod and subsequently borking my modpack files BUT that led me to reinstall, I selected "no" on shaders at fresh launch and now the game runs great! Thanks so much for your help, recon 🙂

I would suggest trying the lite versions of BCG in curseforge because your current fps seems unsaveable

In all the fairness, I did have 200+ FPS in BCG half a year ago

now i struggle to reach 60
so its either something not working as it should or just our pcs sucking

Just to reiterate, my FPS is doing fine now that I reinstalled and disabled shaders! Thanks everyone 🙂
