Pack setup

How should I set up FPS/Performance/QoL | Butterium for players and a server?

Use 1.21.11 Butterium v1.0 [HOTFIX 2] as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.

Client instance Install 1.21.11 Butterium v1.0 [HOTFIX 2]
Dedicated server setup Match 1.21.11 Butterium v1.0 [HOTFIX 2]
Pack loader Fabric 0.18.4

A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.

Referenced mods 41
Client only 22
Server only 1
Not labelled 18

These numbers come from the pack file you chose. “Not labelled” means we don’t know which side it belongs on—not that it is safe everywhere. The file count is not a RAM estimate.

What are the server requirements for FPS/Performance/QoL | Butterium?

1.21.11 Butterium v1.0 [HOTFIX 2]. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

41 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is 1.21.11 Butterium v1.0 [HOTFIX 2]. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.11 with Fabric 0.18.4. It contains 41 mod projects. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.

About this project

What kind of pack is FPS/Performance/QoL | Butterium?

Discord

Why is Butterium special?

Butterium is a feature-packed and user-friendly way to experience Minecraft without performance issues or a billion ugly configuration screens. Our fine selection of performance mods and configurations allows for your game to run smooth like butter on even the weakest hardware and devices. It's designed so that anyone— no matter if they're new to the game or already a pro PvP player— can enjoy the game smoothly, without interruptions with all the features and mods they like

We at BUTR Studios achieve lots of this by integrating each mod into our very own custom-made ButterUI. So, to put it simply, we achieve UX perfection with performance, quality of life and gameplay all in one pack with ~42 mods.

Please view the gallery to see more UI, HUD and features

Features for days

⚡ Lightning fast performance - Despite its large feature set, Butterium has comparable and sometimes better performance than the top performance packs and clients without being a bloated RAM hog (especially in multiplayer)

🎮 Cool Gameplay/Multiplayer Features - We have integrated mods for freecam, fullbright, version-switching/spoofing, account switching, resource/shader pack browsing, voice chat and more to ensure that you have more than just smooth frame rates and nice GUI's

⚙️ Custom Settings and GUI's - We use FancyMenu to fine-tune our GUIs and integrate mods using our own ButterUI design language, integrated mods feature redesigned config screens accessible from Butterium menus and settings

🎮 Custom HUD - We integrate features like keystrokes, time, armor display, co-ordinates and more into Butterium's HUD, you can drag everything around with ease

📆 Regular Updates - BUTR Studios is dedicated to meeting user needs by adding new features, bug squashing and improving UX with every update

What is ButterUI?

ButterUI is an OreUI-inspired design language featuring user-friendly, abstract-looking menus and insane customisation - you can simply change the accent color and background from our nice personalisation menu

↳ Or you could even enter FancyMenu (please read the documentation) and customise EVERYTHING- Not easy but still super cool for advanced users

We provide ButterUI support for a whole bunch of mods- all included mods should be supported and a range of popular mods you can add yourself are supported to be consistent with ButterUI design. A list will be released soon on GitHub

The ButterUI experience is created using our own resources and FancyMenu configuration. I (caela.uk) work with FancyMenu a lot and have been for approximately 2 years now. I commonly push FancyMenu's limits and have to request tons of features, most of which Keksuccino kindly adds for me (and others) to make ButterUI better with

Why 'client'? It's a modpack?

We refer to Butterium as a Client-like modpack. Lets explain why:

  1. Many of our users have switched from using popular clients to using Butterium

  2. Us devs make this pack feel as custom made for you as possible (e.g draggable windows, onboarding)

  3. We're working to make this pack integrate each mod to perfection, from custom menus, keybinds and commands, to completely custom mods themselves (coming soon)

  4. We are actively working on a client-like yet minimal launcher with the ability download and install the modpack from Modrinth automatically for those users who might be new to modpacks or transitioning from a popular client or vanilla

View Roadmap/to-do
  • Add a "support us" widget

  • ButterHost integration and features

↳ Like controlling the server and starting a free trial from in game (referral systems too), hook in with the social features

  • Installer, launcher and minimal mobile app

↳ https://github.com/BUTR-Studios/BUTR-Launcher

  • Launcher Crash Assistant

↳ With Discord link and "copy logs" button

  • Redesign HUD editor w/ support for resizable HUD widgets

↳ With sliders and submenus

  • Optional translucent HUD widget backgrounds

  • Set up Discord Status to include download button

  • For cool events servers, show live events on a main menu widget

  • Move assets to resources

↳ Also allow resource pack to edit configs and stuff with txts like overrides (prompt first)

Rework all icons as pixel-perfect images (maybe with seperate folder for included shadows)

Move all text to localization keys

  • Spec detection and optimization

↳ BUTR-Studios/spec-engine

Hardware scoring system, then finds optimal configs and modset for your hardware specifications

  • Screenshot previews and viewer

  • Elimination counter

↳ Maybe similar to Fortnite- skull icon?

  • Custom HUD item counters

↳ e.g. gapples, arrows, potions

credit: fishandchips

  • Armor and tool durability notifications

↳ credit: fishandchips

  • Ports to 1.21.1 and 1.20.1 Fabric, maybe NeoForge one day

  • Allow compatible mods to be installed and toggled from in-game

↳ "You have unsaved changes" text for when the user needs to restart their game

Remove mods with .bat/.sh

Inspired by Lunar and Feather mods screens- showing just icons, clicking them opens the description and/or config (maybe a description screen with a button for config)

  • Update and enable friends sidebar

↳ With world/server invites, friends sidebar and social features are currently half-finished

  • Click FX at the cursor

↳ Cool, customizable effect that follows accent colour

  • Donate, help and Discord buttons somewhere in options

  • Fix variable names and values + simplify and optimize all layouts and element anchors

↳ This will help users better understand Butterium and edit the FM configuration

  • Known mod incompatibility warning from GitHub (ver).txt

↳ Compare loaded mods to a GitHub list of incompatible mods - also print to logs

Possibly also "compatibility mode"

  • Custom inventory shortcuts

↳ Should be styled like the inventory and also adapt to resource packs, maybe contact some RP creators to add support

  • Remove some layouts for settings menus

↳ Would improve mod compatability with mods that change settings

  • Send specs to API on command using MC username for help support

↳ Optionally also logs but we must ask for the users explicit permission and warn them of what logs store before doing anything

  • Advanced customisation button in personalisation and Credits menus that leads to new menu

↳ This menu should teach users how to create and download resource packs for Butterium

  • Custom backgrounds replacing "0" in the BG carousel (.png?raw=true, .jpg, .jpeg)

  • Light and Midnight UI themes

↳ credit: fishandchips

  • Use the accent colour in more places and improve UI design

  • Tools for resource pack creators

↳ W/ FMv3.8 - imagine making a resource pack just by walking around your world and clicking blocks to change their texture by selecting a png from your system. This will update the pack you're working on in real time but won't replace messing with files

  • Toggleable health indicators

↳ Could be done with a resource pack or mod

Credits/Legal

Most, if not all of our GUI's were created using the amazing tool that is FancyMenu by Keksuccino, this is amazing for creators as it allows for custom designs and scripting within Minecraft, faster and better than any custom mod we could ever create ourselves

Butterium has been a passion project of many names over the past 2 years and we wouldn't be here if not for our amazing community and supporters from the Minecraft modding scene

We are not Nintendo; we don't want to chase you down for copying the most simple of snippets or modifying assets to create a nice add-on for our packs (we LOVE that).

But- (and this is a very big but 🥁) if we do find you using our creative works in a way that poses a threat to us, we reserve the legal right to drop a very kind Cease and Desist letter through your mailbox.

Honestly from vro to vro and to keep you safe, I would always recommend asking legal@butr.uk and crediting us before you copy anything that could be considered our "creative works".
