Integrate Adrenaline Modpack Optimizations into Lunar Client

[burnt spade]

Description:

Adrenaline is a well known performance focused modpack on Modrinth that combines the absolute best optimization mods available for Fabric, including Sodium, Lithium, and many more. It focuses purely on improving rendering performance, game logic performance, and memory usage without changing any vanilla gameplay or visuals. No bloat, no quality of life mods, just pure optimization.

I think Lunar Client should look at integrating the mods included in Adrenaline as part of its base performance stack. Lunar is already marketed as a performance optimized client but a lot of players are still running into stutters and not so optimized experience that Adrenaline directly addresses. The modpack is fully open source, actively maintained.

This would be especially impactful for players on lower end hardware who chose Lunar specifically for better performance and are not getting the results they expected.

This modpack is available on Modrinth and GitHub, made by skywardmc under the project name Adrenaline.

you can already use modpacks like this with lunar if you search for it in the mod downloading in the launcher. there are many different optimization modpacks so lunar shouldnt include one of them by default and the fabric mods lunar includes by default are good for fps and many people dont need more than those

[burnt spade]

The suggestion is not about bundling Adrenaline itself into Lunar.
it is about using it as a reference to see what optimizations Lunar might be missing or could improve on. Adrenaline has been tested and proven to get significantly better performance out of Minecraft and if there are techniques or mods in there that Lunar is not already using then it is worth looking into.And yes Lunar has some Fabric mods built in already but that does not mean there is no room for improvement. A lot of players who switched to Lunar specifically for performance are still reporting stutters and memory issues so clearly what is currently included is not enough for everyone.

the reason why lunar only has a few fabric mods by default is so users can choose from all the different modpacks, if lunar included more fabric mods it could break compatibility not only with other modpacks but also some mods by themselves and if people have low fps on new versions of lunar they can just go to the modpacks category and get any of the optimization modpacks from modrinth

[burnt spade]

The suggestion is not about bundling random Fabric mods, it is about Lunar implementing these optimizations in their own way like they already do with everything else (if im not wrong). Lunar has their own performance work built into the client that has nothing to do with Fabric mods. Adrenaline is just being used as a reference for what optimizations are worth doing, not as something to literally drop into the mod list.

1. they cant just copy optimizations from many of the mods because of licenses
2. if they add more optimizations it will break compatibility with mods that modify minecrafts rendering and i know about this because it also affects my fabric mod and they still havent changed their nametag optimizations to be compatible with nametag mods

[burnt spade]

Those are valid development challenges but they are internal problems for Lunar to figure out, not reasons to close the door on the suggestion entirely. Plenty of the mods in Adrenaline use open licenses like MIT so the license point does not apply across the board. And the compatibility issue is something Lunar already deals with regardless of whether this suggestion gets implemented or not, that is just part of maintaining a client.

with minecraft switching to vulkan they already have to rewrite a lot of their code so this is not a good time to add new optimizations and even when they added vulkan compatibility they should still only add some optimizations to improve compatibility with fabric mods because there are just a lot of great optimization mods so lunar doesnt have to add those optimizations themselves

[burnt spade]

Minecraft switching to Vulkan is actually the perfect time to bring this up because they are already rewriting a lot of code anyway. And the whole point of the suggestion is for Lunar to use Adrenaline as a reference for what optimizations matter, not to implement everything all at once right now. Plus rendering is not the only aspect you can optimize in Minecraft, there is game logic, memory usage and a lot more that have nothing to do with the rendering pipeline...

[wet prawn]

many of the mods in that modpack have to switch to vulkan too so they cant use it as a reference until its updated and it would be better if they dont add a lot of custom optimizations to improve compatibility with fabric mods

[burnt spade]

again rendering is not the only thing you can optimize, game logic and memory usage have nothing to do with Vulkan and can still be used as a reference right now.

[wet prawn]

there are other mods that do this and many people already know and use modpacks

[burnt spade]

Many people do not use modpacks and do not know about them, that is the whole point. If everyone already knew about and used optimization modpacks this suggestion would not exist.

You are just being stupid responding to everything acting like you know better than everyone.
