Exordium

Draws the HUD and menus at a lower framerate so more frame time goes to world rendering. Unmaintained, and only the vanilla interface is supported.

The Exordium mod renders the HUD and screens at a lower, fixed framerate, so the CPU and GPU spend their time on the world instead. It runs on Fabric, NeoForge and Forge and belongs on the player's side only. tr7zw's reasoning is blunt: there is no good reason to draw the hotbar at 100+ FPS.

Loaders and versions

  • Fabric: Minecraft 1.18 to 26.1.2. The newest build requires Fabric API; some builds for 1.18 to 1.19.2 need no dependencies.
  • NeoForge: Minecraft 1.21.6 to 1.21.11. The newest build needs no dependencies.
  • Forge: Minecraft 1.21.6 to 1.21.10. The newest build needs no dependencies.

What it slows down on purpose

The HUD framerate is configurable in the settings. These vanilla elements are affected:

  • Overlays except the vignette (pumpkin, freezing, spyglass, portal)
  • Hotbar and crosshair
  • Boss bars, titles and scoreboard
  • Chat
  • Debug screen (F3 menu)

A separate screen setting is unfinished and disabled by default. It speeds up item-list mods like REI heavily, but with transparency problems.

Compatibility

Exordium is tested with Sodium, Iris, Optifine, AppleSkin, Chat Heads, JourneyMap and BetterF3, where the slide-in animation or debug screen buffering must be switched off. VulkanMod and Canvas are not compatible. MiniHUD shows the HUD framerate in its FPS counter instead of the world framerate. Fast Crosshair does not work alongside ImmediatelyFast, so keep it off.

Installation

  1. 1.Install Fabric, NeoForge or Forge for your game release, matching the loader to the mod file.
  2. 2.On Fabric, add Fabric API as well.
  3. 3.Place the mod file in the mods folder inside .minecraft and start the loader's profile.

Dedicated hosts are unsupported, so leave it off them. Backports to 1.16.5, 1.12.2 and 1.8.9 are not planned because of engine limitations.

Questions about Exordium.

3 questions

Is Exordium still maintained?

No. The creator states it is not actively maintained, so no new features will be added and conflicts with other mods will not be fixed. New releases for later game updates may arrive when time allows, but nothing is promised.

Does Exordium work with mods that change the interface?

Only the vanilla interface is supported. Mods that render their own GUI elements may show visual problems or fail, and the wilder the mod, the likelier the conflict. The listed incompatibilities include VulkanMod and Canvas. Otherwise, try it and see.

Does Exordium support Forge and NeoForge?

Yes, with caveats. Builds exist for both loaders, but the creator attaches no guarantees to them. Fabric has the widest coverage. The mod is for the player's side only and is not meant for dedicated hosts.
