Paper VS Starlight

We will be downloading the Minecraft server files into this directory. To preface, there are numerous variations of server JARs that can be used (e.g. Spigot, Paper, Purpur each touting their own benefits). For this tutorial, we will be working with Paper, a fork of Spigot that is optimized for performance.

PaperMC, a minecraft server has over a quarter million lines of code Github link

Paper fixed it here: https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/commit/8493340be4fa69fa9369719272e5dff1b7a2f455

Go to papermc.io and download Waterfall or Velocity

This is actually a known issue which was mostly ignored: https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/issues/3110

Well Starlight seems to be out already. And it works better than Phosphor and supports 1.17 Fabric

https://github.com/Tuinity/Starlight makes chunks load way faster though, works for me

Go here and find column "Releases"(on right), and click on "tags", under description of latest version you can find word "Assets". Click on it. Download only file with "starlight" in name, and last bat not leatest -> put into mods folder. Fabric loader is required.

If you don't want to use the patch, or you are facing this issue but are not using paper(or playing singleplayer), you can use starlight (and ask your friends to do so too) on the client side. The jar file can be found in the Releases tab (only available for fabric atm).

Here is what I have found is the best for FPS boosting and general optimizations in 1.17:𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗫❎ = not compatable w/ other mods (does not apply cross catagory)🔼 = better of the incompatable ones📖 = requires an API to work[#] = footnoteAll mods here are for the fabric loader (https://fabricmc.net/use/)All mods here are for 1.17.x-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉𝗙𝗣𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚❎🔼Sodium https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium-Sodium Extra https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium-extra-Indium https://modrinth.com/mod/indium❎[1]Enhanced Block Entities https://modrinth.com/mod/ebeCull Leaves https://modrinth.com/mod/cull-leavesEntity Culling https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/entitycullingBetter Beds https://modrinth.com/mod/better-beds📖[2]Tweakeroo https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/tweakeroo𝗥𝗔𝗠 𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡Hydrogen https://modrinth.com/mod/hydrogenFerriteCore https://modrinth.com/mod/ferrite-core𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗚𝗘𝗡/𝗟𝗢𝗔𝗗 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧Lithium https://modrinth.com/mod/lithium𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧Starlight https://github.com/Tuinity/Starlight/releases𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧❎🔼LazyDFU https://modrinth.com/mod/lazydfu❎DashLoader https://modrinth.com/mod/dashloader𝗡𝗘𝗧𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚Krypton https://modrinth.com/mod/krypton𝗧𝗣𝗦 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧📖Fast Furnace https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fast-furnace-for-fabric𝗔𝗣𝗜MaLiLib https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/malilibFabric API https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉-҉𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗧𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘[1] Enhanced block entities is not compatable with Sodium unless Indium is also installed and a special version of sodium which can be found here: https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric/actions follow instructions below to get correct version.Step 1: Go to https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric/actionsStep 2: Click on the latest workflowStep 3: Click on the text labled "build-artifacts"Step 4: Open zip that was downloadedStep 5: Take out file that ends in ".jar" and only ".jar"Step 6: Put the .jar file into your "mods" folder and if Sodium is in there remove it[2] Tweakeroo with the settings (disableBlockBreakingParticles, disableDeadMobRendering, disableParticles) in TweakNo Toggles set to true

Use Iris Shaders, Starlight, and Lithium (other two are on curseforge, they are all mods but don't need Fabric API)

Delete phosphor from mods, and download and paste this

Go here https://github.com/Tuinity/Starlight/releases download the appropriate release for your Minecraft version and place it in your mods folder. For best results use sodium, lithium and hydrogen with it.

Starlight: Complete rewrite of the lighting engine. It also works better than Phosphor
