    About

    Embeddium is a free, open-source client performance mod that improves Minecraft rendering while aiming to remain compatible with mods. It includes a rewritten terrain renderer and optimizations to the rendering pipeline used for entities, graphical interfaces, and block entities, alongside other performance improvements derived from Sodium. Its rendering changes include integrated Fabric Rendering API support, so compatible content mods can work without Indium, and optional translucency sorting that helps translucent blocks appear correctly when viewed through one another. The mod also provides APIs for integrations, and its configuration screen groups options by mod and lets other mods add their own settings. Embeddium regularly addresses reproduced mod-compatibility problems, with fixes spanning modded lighting and models, fluid visibility, animated textures, and rendering behavior for modded blocks and biomes.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Uses folders outside the game
    It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: your user folder and the temporary files folder.
    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 3 files in your config folder.
    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Only in its files for Fabric 1.20.1; NeoForge 1.20.1. See Privacy

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · All 17 latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      17 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 4 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
    • Uses folders outside the game
      Uses the temporary files folder.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      Other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · All 4 files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of all 4 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images, code history and pull requests and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.

    How we checked · 8 places read

    Known conflicts

    These projects do not work together with Embeddium: their authors or Embeddium's author say so. If you install both, the game can crash or some features can stop working. Some of them do the same job as Embeddium, so you only need one.
