usefulmods VS C2ME-fabric

I wouldn't install optifine, the majority of mods don't play well with it. Opt for Rubidium, Sodium, or another combo with the mods listed here: Modlist Link

highly reccomend using rubidium/magnesium if you're on forge, they are faster and have less incompatibility issues, here's a list of mods that work well for performance enhancing https://github.com/NordicGamerFE/usefulmods

does laptop have a GPU? if yes, is it being used? in-game F3 screen to check. top right about 4th or 5th line down. if no, optimizers may help a little. a good list

I would suggest that you try out any performance-enhancing mods, after a bit of research to see if they have any known conflicts with anything you already have (this is a good list). Be careful (back up first!), and be prepared to back out any changes.

I like custom textures but so many of them require OptiFine. I already have a bunch of OptiFine alternatives. I have Sodium, FerriteCore, C2ME, LambDynamicLights, Starlight, and Sodium Extra. I have looked at Animatica but that only allowed for animated textures. Do you guys know of any mods that allow for OptiFine textures but work with my performance mods?

1) LazyDFU: Compiled DFU rules afterwards. 2) EntityCulling: Doesn't render entities that you can't see 3) NoFade: This isn't exactly a performance mod, but fading sometimes makes my game crash, so I use this. 4) NotEnoughCrashes: Again, not a performance mod, but makes crashes much easier to handle. 5) SmoothBoot: Makes Minecraft not hog too many resources when starting up 6) SodiumExtra: Basically adds more options to Sodium. 7) Hydrogen: idk how to describe this (I no longer don't use this as 1.18 hasn't released yet, but I'll this in anyway). 8) C2ME: Improves chunk performance. 9) Enchanced Block Entities: Improves rendering of block entities. Note that this only really shows effect when you're in an area with tons block entities (eg. your storage basement)

It's a bit dangerous and I wouldn't exactly recommend it because I haven't tested it, but there's C2ME. It's VERY experimental. Doesn't exactly do what you're saying, but it should help. I recommend using this list for reference on fabric and forge performance mods, both server and client side. It's very useful.

C2ME. Massively improves chunk loading by multithreading it

Mods (Fabric modloader) used in this video: Sodium, Lithium, Starlight (Beta), C2ME (Alpha), EntityCulling, Hydrogen, LazyDFU, Krypton. You can replace Sodium with Iris for shaders.

You don't need to redesign the server. You can just use these mods.
