About this project
What does GPUTape add?
GpuTape 🩹

Fix video memory leaks, based on VideoTape by Anthus(Velum).
The “VideoTape” and ‘fix GPU memory leak’ are very similar. My mod was based on “VideoTape” and has nothing to do with “fix GPU memory leak”. Using all of these mods at once will not improve the effect!
Comparing with origina(VideoTape):
- GPUTape is only client
- GPUTape does not use deprecated java methods(on 1.19+)
- GPUTape available for forge, neoforge and quilt (VideoTape available only on fabric)
- GPUTape is available on older versions(1.18-)
- GPUTape is vulkan compatible
Available languanges🌐(for ModMenu):
- English(en_us) - Mr.Toad
- Russian(ru_ru) - Mr.Toad
- German(de_de) - Mr.Toad
- Ukrainian(uk_ua) - StarmanMine142
Other my mods:
- H+(New content & Difficulty Improvements)
- EnlightenedBlockEntities/EBEReforged(Fork of enchanced block entities)[DISCONTINUED]
- Palladium(Optimization)
