About Surge
From ModrinthAn open source performance enhancement mod.
Surge is an open source mod which aims to improve the load time and performance of the game.
Features
Load Times
- Fast Prefix Checking - Cleans up Forge's ID prefix checking, to improve the time it takes to create and register new things to the game registry.
- Animated JSON Model Checking - Cleans up Forge's custom animated model loader to greatly improve model loading times.
- Disable Debug Sound Info - Turns off debug code for missing sounds and missing subtitles. This will improve sound loading times.
Performance
