A modpack for smoother gameplay while using shaders.
Modpacks get no grade of their own, so we show the grades of its mods. Of its 28 graded mods, 25 are graded A or B, 3 C and none D to F. Its last update came out 20 months ago, for Minecraft 1.21.4. See the mods
Speed Of Light is a lightweight, client-side modpack designed to improve Minecraft performance and reduce lag while allowing you to use shaders, without substantially changing vanilla gameplay. Its optimizations target entity and block culling, lighting calculations, asset loading, memory use, networking, and core systems such as physics, mob AI, and block ticking. The pack includes BSL and Complementary shader options, including Complementary Reimagined, and uses Iris for shader support. Video settings start at their lowest values for performance, so you can raise them to suit your preferences once in game.
Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it
The mods of its newest release (Minecraft 1.21.4 · Fabric, 11 Feb 2025). Each check result is for the latest files of that mod, which may not be the version in this pack.
No harmful code found in its projects
We checked all 28 projects and the files in the pack itself, without running them.
Why we show this: a modpack installs the files of its mods, and each mod runs on your computer like any program. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: a modpack has no grade of its own, and each mod's result counts in that mod's grade.
2 mods send something about you
We read the code of all 24 of its mods, without running it.
Why we show this: a modpack runs the code of its mods, and 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 used in 2 of the 24 mods we checked
We found an AI tool in them, or their authors declared AI content.
No sign so far that AI was used to make the pack itself
We looked for AI tools in its texts and found none.
We have not read its files and images yet.
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.
