Quick answer
Which Palladium release should I use?
Palladium 1.1.7.3p-1.21-1.21.2 targets 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.2 with Fabric, Quilt. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. All 2 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Palladium required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does Palladium 1.1.7.3p-1.21-1.21.2 need?
1.1.7.3p-1.21-1.21.2. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API, ToadLib first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 1 comes through another mod in the chain.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Palladium add?
[DISCONTINUED]
I'll be archiving this mod. I want to spend more time on MM, but I don't want a bunch of bugs from my other projects to get in the way of users' experience. The useful features will be ported over to NumFlux(server) & GPUBooster(client). That way, I should have enough time for these three projects.






Tests on 1.20.2 without any optimizing mods.

Shaders:
Mod caches uniforms, shaderi's, shaderi logs of shaders, reducing the number of times they are invoked.
Full compatible with Sodium/Forks, Lithium/Forks, Iris/Forks and shader-packs the shaders work but with bugs, I'm working on it...
Chunk building optimization:
Optimizes work with chunks.
The results are in the table above.
NBT optimization:
Slightly improves work with the main storage file format(.nbt)
And a few more minor fixes/improves...
FAQ
Q: Do you plan to release palladium on [insert version or loader]?
A: Palladium will be 100% available over time on versions 1.20 and above on:
- neoforge
- quilt
- fabric
- forge(<1.21)
Q: Curseforge release?
A: Maybe, when I have a little more free time.
Q: The mod does not give the effect as in the tests, why, is it cheating?
A: The effect depends on the number of mods, pc configuration and much more, do not expect that it will be identical to the tests above.
Q: Will you support 1.20 or any other version when it becomes obsolete?
A: Yes, there will be bug-fixes for sure, but the priority will be lower than popular versions.
Q: Updates take a long time to come out, why is that?
A: At the moment, in addition to GPUTape, H+, Palladium and ToadLib, I have two rather large mods, and I work on all of them alone.
