Quick answer

Which Optidium release should I use?

Updated 1 year ago
Latest stable file Optidium 1.19.4 v2-40r
Game version 1.19.4
Loader Fabric 0.16.14

Optidium 1.19.4 v2-40r is a complete pack release for 1.19.4 with Fabric 0.16.14. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 36 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Optidium for players and a server?

Use Optidium 1.19.4 v2-40r 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 Optidium 1.19.4 v2-40r
Dedicated server setup Match Optidium 1.19.4 v2-40r
Pack loader Fabric 0.16.14

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 36
Client only 25
Server only 0
Not labelled 11

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 Optidium?

Optidium 1.19.4 v2-40r. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

36 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Optidium 1.19.4 v2-40r. That file is for Minecraft 1.19.4 with Fabric 0.16.14. It contains 36 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 Optidium?

What is Optidium?🔎

Optidium is a modpack that gives you high performance even on potato PCs. This is achieved by using performance mods such as the infamous sodium mod and immediatlyFast. This modpack favours performance rather than QoL. It features strong support for older versions of Minecraft like 1.19.4 and 1.18.2 with the most updated mods!

Taken on an Optiplex 7060 (Low end PC) specs can be found here

Why is it called Optidium? 🎇

Optidium is called Optidium because it uses Sodium and but uses features from OptiFine, such as the zoom feature and connected textures. Sodium often boosts performance better than OptiFine on most PCs as they use a much newer way to render objects which greatly improves frame rates and stuttering while fixing many graphical issues.

Does Optidium support shaders? 💡

Optidium does support shaders as it uses Iris. Iris uses a method known as Shadow Frustum Culling to reduce the cost of one of a shader's major performance limiters which is of course shadows, and this allows iris to run better than OptiFine's built in shaders on most PCs
