HeXHub.net optimized | Potato

Minecraft 26.1.2

• Updated to Minecraft 26.1.2, all mods updated

New main menu

• Cleaner layout that also fits small screens like the Steam Deck
• "▶ HeXHub.net" joins the server directly, hover to see player count and ping
• Discord, Mods and Realms moved to the bottom row

Settings overhaul

• Settings reworked across the board and tuned for each edition
• Enhanced: render distance 12, otherwise close to vanilla defaults
• Handheld: render distance 6, slightly reduced particles and biome blending, lighter shader (Complementary Reimagined)
• Potato: render distance 3 with Distant Horizons up to about 1 km, graphics based on the Fast preset while still looking decent
• Fullscreen is no longer forced; the pack starts in fullscreen once, after that it's your choice
• Minimap radar, cave mode and player tracking are off by default

Fixes

• Distant Horizons settings are applied again (they were reset on every first launch)
• Resource packs are no longer silently disabled on first launch
• Main menu buttons no longer overlap or end up in the wrong place
• Several smaller config errors fixed

Controller

• Controller support now uses Controlify instead of MidnightControls

Removed

• xali's Bushy Leaves (Enhanced), cost noticeable FPS in jungles
• C2ME, no benefit in multiplayer

Note for existing installs

• New default settings only apply to new installs
• To get them, delete options.txt in your instance folder (this also resets your keybinds)

Tip for smoother Distant Horizons

Add to the Java arguments in your launcher:

• Enhanced: -Xms6G -Xmx6G -XX:+UseZGC
• Handheld: -Xms5G -Xmx5G -XX:+UseZGC
• Potato: -Xmx3G to -Xmx4G, keep the default garbage collector
