Choose your renderer and Minecraft version below.
No fluff. No bloat. Just the mods that matter.
OptiArk replaces Minecraft's default renderer with a more modern version of OpenGL on 2 versions, and Vulkan 1.2 on the Vulkanmod pack, delivering dramatically higher framerates on the same hardware. Most players see 2–5× their vanilla FPS.
Not every GPU is the same. OptiArk ships in four renderer flavors so you can pick the one that fits your hardware, Sodium for universal support, Vulkan for cutting-edge GPUs (2013+), Nividium for NVIDIA GPUs that are or is newer than the GTX 16xx, and Embeddium for Forge mod compatibility.
From Minecraft 1.8.9 all the way to the latest release. Supported builds get regular updates; unsupported builds are archived and still available for older modpacks and servers.
Tested on mid-range hardware. Results vary by system — your gains may be higher.
Higher is better
Lower is better
* Benchmarks are approximate. "Competitor Pack" represents a popular general-purpose optimization pack. All packs tested on the same hardware and settings. Nividium tested on NVIDIA GPU only.
