# Atomic
\n### _Minimal Mods. MAXIMUM Performance._<\/p>\n
## How to setup Atomic
\n> – Download Atomic (the modpack)
\n> – Import the .mrpack (or just download it straight from your launcher)
\n> – Apply these JVM arguments: <\/p>\n
“`
\n-Xms2G -Xmx4G -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=268M -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=100 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=40 -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:+DisableExplicitGC
\n“`
\n> – If you use a 64-bit modern OS like Windows 10\/11, MacOS, or Linux use these instead:
\n> – **(ATOMIC RECOMMENDS AZUL ZULU JAVA 17!)**<\/p>\n
“`
\n-XX:+UseZGC -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -Xms3G -Xmx4G -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=276M
\n“`<\/p>\n
### **Looking for Wayland builds? (LINUX ONLY)**
\n– **Atomic for Wayland: https:\/\/modrinth.com\/modpack\/atomic-(wayland)**<\/p>\n
And you’re done you can hit play!<\/p>\n
– If your launcher complains about you trying to manually set the RAM remove these arguments and set it via instance settings:<\/p>\n
“` – Fabric API by modmuss50, Player7457 – 130% Saturation by Emil_the_sleeper<\/p>\n<\/details>\n – Atomic gets over 1100+ FPS during world loading w\/ F3 menu open 5\/5 chunks render\/simulation<\/p>\n – Atomic gets over 1400+ FPS after world loading w\/ F3 menu open 5\/5 chunks render\/simulation<\/p>\n – Atomic gets over 390+ FPS during world loading w\/ F3 menu open 24\/24 chunks render\/simulation<\/p>\n – Atomic gets over 500+ FPS after world loading w\/ F3 menu open 24\/24 chunks render\/simulation<\/p>\n – ### Atomic 1.4 capped FPS to 255! (even with F3 menu + entities + rendering it is still glued to the FPS cap lol)<\/p>\n Specs Settings ### Vanilla (1.17.1) ### Atomic (1.17.1) ### Fabulously Optimized (1.17.1) ### Sodium Plus (1.18.2) ### OptiFabric (1.17.1) ### Remarkably Optimized (1.17.1) ### Additive (1.17.1) ### Performium (1.20.4) ### Optimization (1.17.1) ### Essentially Optimized (1.21) ### FPS Modpack (1.19) ### MAX FPS: Optimized (1.17.1) ### How I test them NOTE: _These are just comparisons all of these modpacks are great and the count is just for reference._<\/p>\n<\/details>\n ### Why 1.17.1? ### Why are you strict about mods? ### Why Fabric? ### Will you add QoL mo- ### Will you upload it to CurseForge? – Download Fabric (https:\/\/fabricmc.net\/)<\/p>\n – Make sure you’re in the client tab<\/p>\n – Open the installer and set the game version to 1.17.1 and loader version to 0.18.4<\/p>\n – Click install<\/p>\n – When it’s finished download the modpack.<\/p>\n – Convert the .mrpack with this tool: https:\/\/jamie.codeberg.page\/mrpack-to-zip\/@master\/<\/p>\n – Extract the .zip and open your .minecraft folder (C:UsersuserAppDataRoamingminecraft)<\/p>\n – Now open the .zip and select all the files and drag them into your .minecraft folder and you might get an message about files w\/ the same name just hit “Replace the files in destination” THIS WILL OVERWRITE YOUR EXISTING CONFIG AND MODS!<\/p>\n – Open the Minecraft Launcher and select the “Installations” tab and click the 3 dots and then “Edit” now click “More Options” and replace the JVM args with the ones listed at the top of the page and click “Done” once you’re finished.<\/p>\n – Now go back to the “Play” tab and you can launch the game.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n Atomic’s purpose is to be a strict optimization pack designed to run on weaker systems. Atomic includes only mods that improve performance or stability and can only have 1 mod to optimize a certain part of the game<\/p>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Minimal Mods.

\nWorld fully loaded, same visuals (blocks\/entities\/clouds), VSync off, FPS uncapped, F3 enabled + rapid toggle, defaults for each pack, JVM only tuned where provided.<\/p>\nFAQ (5 questions)<\/summary>\n
\n– Newer Minecraft versions can introduce more worldgen complexity and rendering overhead, which can drastically reduce performance on low-end hardware.<\/p>\n
\n– Every additional mod increases CPU, memory, and loading overhead. I only include mods that improve performance or stability.<\/p>\n
\n– Fabric is a lightweight, simple, and fast mod-loader and works really well for Atomic.<\/p>\n
\n– No. Atomic is built to be optimized and lightweight not include redundant QoL or bloat mods but it is still highly recommended to replace OptiFine with Atomic.<\/p>\n
\n– No, the official modpack will be Modrinth only.<\/p>\n<\/details>\nDefault Launcher Instructions<\/summary>\n
