Exordium

Render the GUI and screens at a lower framerate to speed up what's really important: the worldrendering.

Renders the GUI at a lower fixed framerate (configurable in the settings), freeing up CPU and GPU time for the world rendering. There is no good reason to render the hotbar at 100+ FPS.

Features

• Render the gui at a lower framerate (configurable in the settings)
• Speedup gui rendering during fade animations (configurable in the settings)
• Render screens at a lower framerate (configurable in the settings)
• Pre-render sign text(glowing signs render multiple times each frame in vanilla)
• Buffer full screen name-tags to reduce the amount of draw calls in game lobbies

FAQ

Forge support?

No.

Does this work with mod xyz?

I don't know, I haven't tested it with every mod out there. If you find a mod that doesn't work with this mod, you can report it on Github(but there is no guarantee that it will be fixed).

Backport to 1.16.5/1.12.2/1.8.9?

No backports are planned. Mainly due to engine limitations in older versions.
