quilt-serverside-mods VS C2ME-fabric

not a jobs one, no. you can check out the serverside mod list here https://serverside.infra.link/

Have a look at this list. It's got a ton of useful server-side mods which you can use on your server.

To be honest, the natural path for those that come from Bukkit and derivates for the future is to either switch to datapacks, migrate altogether to Bedrock (that already have interesting advances on its addon/pack system) or switch to Fabric server-only mods - There is a lot of possibilities already and there is also Polymer project that aims to "convert" some classic mods to server-side-only, so at the end maybe OP should look at it all and forget the Sponge thing.

This seems like a decent shop mod, for a larger list of mods you can look here. Another shop mod I found was https://modrinth.com/mod/diamond-economy

Once you have your server OS installed, look through the performance section of Quilt Serverside Mods (even though it says Quilt all the mods are Fabric compatible). Also make sure to set sync-chunk-writes to false in your server.properties.

I have been using this list to find some optimization mods but some mods in the performance sections seems to break the game (eg - Very Many Players ).

Here’s a good resource for server-side mods, some of them are for quilt but quite a few are fabric mods (originally the list was only fabric mods, also quilt is a fork of fabric, so if you wanted to give it a go, it has most of the same benefits fabric does)

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.
