EssentiallyOptimal Lite is basically just a modpack that logicwise behaves like vanilla, but makes it faster. In testing, I got 144 FPS from letting the game run on it’s own. That includes the logic of naturally spawning entities and items as well as the fluids.<\/p>\n

For better FPS, go to video settings and slide “Max FPS” to unlimited.<\/p>\n
