3. sodium

   2 140 5,088 9.4 Java

   A Minecraft mod designed to improve frame rates and reduce micro-stutter

   

   Check out the sodium mod [1], if you haven't already. I've had great success eeking out a few more precious frames with it on older hardware. IIRC, it works on both x86 and ARM processors.

4. fabulously-optimized

   3 35 996 9.2 Python

   A simple Minecraft modpack focusing on performance and graphics enhancements.

   

   There are mods which heavily optimize the java client performance, these would have a greater effect than just ahead-of-time compilation. For instance, the modpack at https://github.com/Fabulously-Optimized/fabulously-optimized packages several of these performance mods together (see https://github.com/Fabulously-Optimized/fabulously-optimized... for the list).

   "Cuberite is a Minecraft-compatible multiplayer game server that is written in C++ and designed to be efficient with memory and CPU"

   Cuberite has been demoed running on old ARM Android phones and hosting multiple players off it at once. Its performance absolutely annihilates the Java based 'vanilla' server
