What's Essentially Optimized?

Essentially Optimized is a client-side modpack dedicated to one thing: pure optimization. It is designed to deliver the highest possible framerates and the smoothest gameplay experience by focusing only on performance.

Thanks to modern performance mods, this pack often outperforms other optimization solutions by stripping away everything that is unnecessary.
