    Iris

    Iris

    A modern shaders mod for Minecraft compatible with existing OptiFine

    Iris was created to fill a void that I saw in the Minecraft customization and graphical enhancement community: the lack of an open-source shaders mod that would let me load my favorite shader packs on modern versions of the game, while retaining performance and compatibility with modpacks. OptiFine, the current dominant mod for loading shader packs, has restrictive licensing that firmly stands in the way of any sort of tinkering, and is fairly notorious for having compatibility issues with the mods that I like. It's also mutually incompatible with Sodium, the best rendering optimization mod in existence by a large margin. ShadersMod was never updated past 1.12, and it lacks support for many of the many modern popular shaderpacks. So I created Iris, to try and solve these issues, and also address many other longstanding issues with shader packs. I first and foremost develop Iris to meet my own needs of a performance-oriented shaders mod with good compatibility.

    Botania

    Botania

    A tech mod for Minecraft themed around the magic of nature

    Botania is a Minecraft tech mod themed around natural magic. It's inspired by other magic mods, such as Thaumcraft or Blood Magic. With an original aim- and timing-based power system, Botania has a very different feel from your typical magic or tech mod. Manipulating Mana and watching it flow in real time adds a new light to your base of operations. Botania works within the Minecraft world itself; no GUIs are used to interact with any of its features. It's carefully designed to ensure that nearly everything is fully automatable using vanilla and itself. After some thought, of course. The Lexica Botania is the compendium of nearly all knowledge about this mod. Easily craftable in-game using a book and a sapling, it gives you almost all the information you'll ever need to know about Botania.

    GrimAC

    GrimAC

    Fully async, multithreaded, predictive, open source, 3.01 reach

    GrimAC is an open-source anticheat system designed to detect and prevent cheating on Minecraft multiplayer servers through predictive simulation and advanced movement analysis. The project uses a simulation-based detection engine that recreates player movement and physics in order to identify discrepancies between legitimate gameplay and modified client behavior. By analyzing how players move, interact with the world, and send network packets to the server, Grim can detect a variety of cheats such as reach hacks, speed hacks, and anti-knockback modifications. The software is designed to operate asynchronously and with multithreaded processing, allowing servers to maintain high performance even when monitoring large numbers of players simultaneously. Grim supports a wide range of Minecraft versions and can integrate with server platforms used in competitive or large multiplayer environments.

    Purpur

    Purpur

    Purpur is a drop-in replacement for Paper servers

    Purpur is an open-source Minecraft server software built as a fork of the Paper server platform, designed to provide extensive configurability and gameplay customization for server administrators. It functions as a drop-in replacement for Paper, meaning existing servers can switch to Purpur without major changes while gaining access to additional features and configuration options. The project focuses on allowing administrators to modify gameplay mechanics, behaviors, and rules that are normally fixed in standard server implementations. Through a wide set of configuration settings, server operators can adjust how mobs behave, alter game mechanics, or enable experimental gameplay features that are not present in vanilla Minecraft. Purpur inherits performance improvements and plugin compatibility from the Paper ecosystem while adding its own enhancements and customization capabilities.

    Skript

    Skript

    Skript is a Bukkit plugin which allows server admins

    Skript is (surprise, surprise) a scripting plugin for the Bukkit platform. It is easy to use for simple tasks, but you can also create really complex things with it. The syntax of Skript is close to English, but it is still not magic. While you might succeed with experimentation for simple tasks, for anything more complex you will need some guidance. You will find all supported features of the plugin here, along with some useful examples. We don't have tutorials yet, but you can find good ones using whatever search engine you prefer. Skript requires Spigot to work. You heard it right, CraftBukkit does not work. Paper, which is a fork of Spigot, is recommended; it is required for some parts of Skript to be available. Skript supports only the latest patch versions of Minecraft 1.9+. For example, this means that 1.16.5 is supported, but 1.16.4 is not. Testing with all old patch versions is not feasible for us.

    MinecraftForge

    MinecraftForge

    Modifications to the Minecraft base files to assist in compatibility

    MinecraftForge is a widely used open-source modding API and development platform for Minecraft that enables developers to create, install, and manage game modifications in a standardized way. It provides a framework that extends the core functionality of Minecraft while maintaining compatibility between different mods and versions of the game. Forge simplifies the modding process by offering tools, hooks, and APIs that allow developers to modify game behavior without directly altering the base game code. This modular approach allows multiple mods to coexist within the same installation while minimizing conflicts. MinecraftForge also includes tools for loading mods, managing dependencies, and maintaining compatibility across game updates. Over time it has become the primary modding ecosystem for Minecraft Java Edition, supporting thousands of community-created modifications ranging from gameplay enhancements to entirely new game mechanics.

    spark

    spark

    A performance profiler for Minecraft clients, servers, and proxies

    spark is a performance profiling and diagnostic tool designed for Minecraft servers, clients, and proxy software. It helps developers and server administrators analyze performance issues such as lag, high CPU usage, and memory bottlenecks. The plugin collects statistical information about the server’s execution and generates detailed profiling data that can be used to identify inefficient code or problematic plugins. spark includes tools for CPU profiling, memory inspection, and monitoring server health metrics over time. The profiling data is typically visualized through an online viewer that displays call graphs and flame graphs to help users interpret performance results. Because it is lightweight and designed to run in production environments, administrators can safely use it on live servers to diagnose performance issues without significant overhead.

    Starlight Fabric

    Starlight Fabric

    Rewrites the light engine to fix lighting performance

    Starlight is a performance optimization project for Minecraft that completely rewrites the game’s internal lighting engine to improve efficiency and reduce lighting-related lag. The original Minecraft lighting system can be computationally expensive when generating terrain or updating large structures, which can cause performance problems on servers and heavily modded environments. Starlight replaces this system with a redesigned algorithm that processes lighting calculations more efficiently and reduces the number of updates required for each chunk. The project aims to improve chunk generation performance, reduce lag spikes, and eliminate certain lighting bugs that occur in the vanilla engine. Because it fundamentally replaces the default lighting system, Starlight can significantly improve performance on servers handling large numbers of block updates or terrain generation tasks.

    Phosphor (for Fabric)

    Phosphor (for Fabric)

    A Fabric mod designed to improve the performance of Minecraft

    Phosphor is a free and open-source Minecraft mod (under GNU GPLv3) aiming to save your CPU cycles and improve performance by optimizing one of Minecraft's most inefficient areas-- the lighting engine. It works on both the client and server and can be installed on servers without requiring clients to also have the mod. The mod is designed to be as minimal as possible in the changes it makes, and as such, does not modify the light model or interfaces of vanilla Minecraft. Because of this, Phosphor should be compatible with many Minecraft mods (so long as they do not make drastic changes to how the lighting engine works.) If you've ran into a compatibility problem, please open an issue.

    SpongeForge

    SpongeForge

    A Forge mod that implements SpongeAPI

    A Forge implementation of the Sponge API. SpongeForge uses Gradle as its build system. The repo includes the Gradle wrapper that will automatically download the correct Gradle version. Local installations of Gradle may work but are untested. To execute the Gradle wrapper, run the ./gradlew script on Unix systems or only gradlew on Windows systems. In order to build SpongeForge you simply need to run the gradlew command. On Windows systems you should run gradlew instead of ./gradlew to invoke the Gradle wrapper. SpongeForge is the implementation of the Sponge API on the Minecraft Forge platform. Recommended for running plugins together with Forge mods. The purpose of the Sponge project is to create a plugin development framework for Minecraft: Java Edition. Sponge is being created by a global community, and its open-source nature means anyone can participate.
