\n\ud83d\udec8 New version numbering system starting with 26.1<\/summary>\n

Starting with 26.1, our version numbering system will change:<\/p>\n

![New version numbering system, including the major release, the minecraft version and minor release, all in sequence.](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/8edd3ef9fc2b4591ecf9105da2c13acd42587463.png)

## \u2049\ufe0f Why Optimus?<\/p>\n

### \ud83d\udd25 Blazing fast performance
\nOptimus is based on Adrenaline, onme of the greatest performance packs available. It greatlty improves minecraft’s performance by default, and Optimus goes further to add a few mods not bundled by default<\/p>\n

### \ud83d\udce6 Everything you need is already prepackaged
\nJust install and go! Optimus provides a great lenght of QoL client-side tweaks, whilst keeping maximum performance.<\/p>\n

### \ud83e\udde1 Made with love.
\nOptimus is a passion project, born long before the first public release. I’ve been building performance modpacks for 7 years (due to tremendous need lol), and Optimus itself was born 3 years ago.<\/p>\n

### \u2712\ufe0f Good design.
\nCome on, don’t you love the orange arrows?! <\/p>\n

## \u2754 Why not just use OptiFine?<\/p>\n

OptiFine’s methods are and have always been extremaly invasive. This leads to a lot of issues with other mods, and also slows down updates. Also, it doesn’t offer the same boost in performance today as it did on older versions, when it was at it’s peak. <\/p>\n

### Parity status for version 5.x:<\/p>\n
