ImmediatelyFast is a client-side mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt that batches Minecraft's immediate mode rendering calls, the GPU-heavy draw path Sodium leaves alone. It speeds up HUD elements, on-screen text, and the item and entity models Minecraft renders in inventories, chat, and other GUI screens. RaphiMC maintains it through Minecraft 26.2, with builds going back to 1.18.2.
What ImmediatelyFast speeds up
Minecraft draws a lot of its interface in immediate mode: hotbar icons, tooltips, chat text, the tab list, and every item or entity model shown in an inventory, a shop screen, or the creative menu. Each element issues its own draw call instead of being batched, so a UI-heavy screen can cost more frame time than the game world behind it. ImmediatelyFast rewrites those calls through custom buffers, cutting the per-element overhead without touching chunk or world rendering.
- HUD icons, the hotbar, and status effect indicators
- On-screen text, tooltips, and the player and tab lists
- Item rendering in inventories, chests, and other container GUIs
- Entity rendering in menus, such as armor stands and mob heads shown in item and recipe screens
- Map rendering on item frames and in the inventory
ImmediatelyFast stacks with Sodium rather than replacing it. Sodium rewrites chunk and world rendering, while ImmediatelyFast targets the separate immediate mode path Sodium does not touch. Running both covers more of the client's rendering pipeline than either alone, though the actual gain depends on your hardware and how GUI-heavy your modpack is.
Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt installation
ImmediatelyFast ships separate builds for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt, matched to your Minecraft version. Install the loader first, our Fabric installation guide covers that path, then drop the matching ImmediatelyFast file into your mods folder and launch. The mod runs client-side only, so server operators do not need to install it, and it has no effect on a dedicated server.
Supported Minecraft versions
ImmediatelyFast covers Minecraft 1.18.2 through the current 26.2 drop, including the year.drop releases 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2. RaphiMC updated it on August 27, 2026, keeping pace with the newest Minecraft release.

Questions about ImmediatelyFast.
5 questions
What does ImmediatelyFast do?
ImmediatelyFast batches Minecraft's immediate mode rendering, the draw path used for HUD elements, on-screen text, and item and entity models in inventories and other GUI screens. It cuts the per-element overhead of that path without changing how the game world itself renders, so gameplay and visuals stay the same.
How do I install ImmediatelyFast?
Install Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, or Quilt for your Minecraft version, then place the matching ImmediatelyFast file in your mods folder and launch the game. It works on the client only, so no server-side setup is needed, and there is no in-game configuration required to see the effect.
Does ImmediatelyFast work with Forge and NeoForge?
Yes. RaphiMC publishes separate ImmediatelyFast builds for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt, matched to Minecraft version, so pick the file built for your loader and version rather than assuming one file covers all four.
Does ImmediatelyFast work with Sodium?
Yes, and the two are commonly run together. Sodium optimizes chunk and world rendering, while ImmediatelyFast batches a separate draw path for HUD, text, and item and entity rendering in menus. Neither replaces the other, and running both covers more of the client's rendering pipeline than either alone.
Which Minecraft version does ImmediatelyFast support?
ImmediatelyFast supports Minecraft 1.18.2 through the current 26.2 drop, including the 26.1, 26.1.1, and 26.1.2 year.drop releases. RaphiMC last updated the mod on August 27, 2026, so it tracks new Minecraft releases closely.
