Helps the game run better on older, low-end computers.
48.5 of the 58 points that apply = 84 out of 100. The points above are rounded to whole numbers.
This author published several projects at once on Modrinth: up to 5 projects published within 2 weeks. 4 of the author's 14 projects have only one release and no source code link. A series of small add-ons is often published this way. It does not change the grade.
Mercurizer is a Sodium addon designed to make Minecraft more playable on low-end PCs, especially systems with integrated graphics, older CPUs, or limited memory. On its first three launches, it benchmarks GPU upload bandwidth, driver latency, and CPU throughput, then uses the results to tune chunk uploads and texture animation for the machine. After gameplay begins, Mercurizer refines those settings using observed frame times, cuts upload work when performance spikes, and gradually restores it as performance stabilizes to help reduce micro-stutters. It also adjusts upload budgets for VSync and uses more conservative settings on some older Intel hardware and AMD driver configurations, prioritizing stability when aggressive tuning could be risky.
Written from Modrinth and the GitHub README . How we write it
Changes the game's code in 3 areas: User interfaceChanges 3 game code files in this area: menus, screens, tooltips, the chat window and the in-game overlay., Rendering and graphicsChanges 1 game code file in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen. and Game coreChanges 1 game code file in this area: the main loop, lighting and other code the whole game uses..
Adds no new blocks, items or other content.
Replaces 35 of vanilla Minecraft's models.
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
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.
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.
AI was used for its code
The author declares AI code on Modrinth.
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
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.
Point at or tap a version to see its loaders.
These projects do not work together with Mercurizer: their authors or Mercurizer'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 Mercurizer, so you only need one.
Modpacks that include Mercurizer in at least one of their versions, most downloaded first.
Mods that modpacks often add together with Mercurizer. Share: how many of the modpacks with Mercurizer also have that mod.
The newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The files for recent versions come first. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks.
