FerriteCore

This mod reduces the memory usage of Minecraft in a few different ways. A high-level technical description of the changes is available here.

The amount of memory saved will depend on the pack. In version 2.5.9 of All Of Fabric 3 it reduces the RAM usage (heap size) from 1,792 MB to 984 MB. For comparison the same setup with Hydrogen instead of FerriteCore uses 1,335 MB.
These values were measured after generating a world with a fixed seed and waiting for two minutes.

FAQ

Should I install this on the server or just on the client?

Some optimizations are client-side only, but there are some rather high-impact optimizations that are relevant on the server too. So you should install it on both sides.

Is this compatible with [other mod]?

Most likely yes. The only exception is Hydrogen, which is compatible with all recent FerriteCore versions on Minecraft versions where Hydrogen is officially released. This means that 1.18+ builds are not compatible with Hydrogen, since it has been officially archived and won't receive any releases on these versions.

Mythiq hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.modrinth.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

MOD LOADER

This release is built for Fabric. A mod built for one loader will not load under another — Fabric mods do not run on Forge, and vice versa.

GAME VERSION

Built for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Minecraft mods are tied to an exact version: a 1.21.4 build will refuse to load on 1.21.5.

DEPENDENCIES

Check the author's listing for required libraries before you start the game — a missing dependency shows up as a crash on launch, not as a warning.

1. Install Fabric for the Minecraft version you play, if you have not already.

2. Download the .jar with the button on this page. Do not unzip it — a mod jar is installed as it is.

3. Put it in your mods folder:

Windows — %APPDATA%\.minecraft\mods

macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods

Linux — ~/.minecraft/mods

4. Launch the game with the Fabric profile selected.

ON A SERVER

Anything that changes world generation or gameplay has to be installed on the server as well as on every client. Client-side visual and interface mods do not.

UPDATING

Replace the old .jar rather than adding the new one beside it. Two versions of the same mod in the folder is a crash on launch.
