phosphor-fabric VS FarPlaneTwo

I remember Notch talking about the lighting calculations being one of the hardest parts to program, so I can understand that being a challenge.

Mojang made large improvements to the lighting engine in 1.20, bringing it in line with the performance mods Phosphor[1] and Starlight[2]. Despite being deprecated now, they might still offer some useful insight into how to approach such a system in a performant way. You'll need to be mindful of the licenses, but it's likely easier than reverse-engineering Minecraft (even with mappings).

Phosphor (another optimization mod by the Sodium devs, targeting the built-in lighting system)

Sodium Phosphor Lithium also get iris but I don't have download link

There’s lots of lightweight shader packs designed for low-end PCs. For an optimized, smooth shader experience I’d recommend installing Fabric, Sodium, Lithium, Phosphor, and Iris Shaders.

I would suggest you to use Sodium or Iris - Overall Performance Improvement / Iris If You Wanna Use Shaders Too Lithium - Improve CPU Usage LazyDFU - Launch Game Faster Phosphor - Improve Light Engine Hydrogen - Reduce Memory Usage

Low performance is to be expected with your config. You can try to install these performance mods for minecraft : * Iris that contains Sodium * Sodium, don't use it with iris, it already has sodium. * Lithium * Phosphor

Lithium is only for Fabric. There's also Phosphor to improve lighting performance.

You can get better performance and retain vanilla features by using Fabric with phosphor and lithium.

for newer versions Sodium+Lithium+Phosphor (+aditionally hydrogen)

I also know that FarPlaneTwo is supposed to do something similar, but I'm sure I didn't test that.

for 1.12.2 there exists https://github.com/PorkStudios/FarPlaneTwo

Far Plane 2 https://github.com/PorkStudios/FarPlaneTwo/tree/dev/voxel-mode-is-no-longer-restricted-to-rendering-voxels

FarPlaneTwo

Pretty much, trying to find a mod like Bobby or FarPlaneTwo, but for 1.18. Neither of those are compatible with 1.18 so does anyone know anything similar to those? Thanks!

I've found that chunk render distance has a very large impact on fps. If you play on 1.18, setting the simulation distance down allows you to play at 32 render distance fine. If you play earlier versions, mods like Distant Horizons, Bobby, C2ME, or FarPlaneTwo are quite useful.
