Performium is a lightweight Fabric modpack that mixes performance tweaks with visual upgrades for Minecraft Java. It is maintained by maybeizen under the Zen Studios organisation and runs on the player's own machine only.
Loaders and versions
- Fabric: Minecraft 1.20.4 to 26.2.
What's included
The pitch is restraint. The pack never grows past 50 mods, a minimalist approach aimed at efficiency. Version 2 was rebuilt from the ground up to improve performance on Minecraft 26.2.
- Visuals: shaders, connected textures and refined models.
- Gameplay: smooth mouse controls and general performance tweaks.
- Launchers: works with the Modrinth App, Prism Launcher and ATLauncher.
- Systems: Windows and Debian-based Linux distributions.
How to install Performium
The simplest route is the Modrinth App, which fetches the mods and the right loader for you. Prism Launcher also reads the pack file, and our modpack install guide covers both. If you want the loader on its own first, see installing Fabric.
- 1.Install the Modrinth App and sign in.
- 2.Open Browse in the left sidebar.
- 3.Search for Performium.
- 4.Download and install the first result.
The trade-off
Performium is Fabric only and must be installed on the client, since server use is unsupported. Updates have also been irregular. The creator paused the project for a break and returned with the v2 rewrite, so expect gaps between releases.
Questions about Performium.
3 questions
Which Minecraft versions does Performium support?
Performium runs on Fabric and covers Minecraft 1.20.4 through 26.2. The v2 rewrite was aimed at improving performance on 26.2, which is the newest release the pack's builds reach.
Is Performium free to use and modify?
Yes. Modrinth lists the pack as MIT, and the creator states it stays free for anybody to download, modify or redistribute. The repository itself has no licence file, so the creator's statement is the clearest guide.
How many mods does Performium contain?
The creator caps the pack at 50 mods. The aim is a minimalist list that improves performance while still adding shaders, connected textures, refined models and smoother mouse controls.
