About this project
What does Tekst add?
Tekst
A silly little mod to make text rendering faster!
This is a mod designed to improve text rendering speeds in scenarios where there are lots of formatted characters (e.g. shadows, underlines, strikethroughs). This can have quite an impact when playing on servers such as Hypixel, where chat and nametags have tons of formatting.
This mod has no known incompatabilities and has no dependencies.

Benchmarks (Middle-end hardware, using Fabulously Optimized):

(F3 screen in void is used here to have a large, but consistent amount of formatted text similar to popular servers)
