See it work

Play with the ideas. Watch what changes.

Each demo is a small model of how a Chlorine setting behaves, so you can feel the idea before you install. They're illustrations, not benchmarks.

Built around the busy bits

Less background strain. More room to play.

Minecraft has a lot going on at once. Chlorine focuses on the parts you can tune, without trying to replace the systems that already do their job well.

A

Simulation that can scale

Give the world a little breathing room when frames dip, then let it recover when things settle.

CLIENT
B

Distant activity, handled gently

Throttle distant mob decision-making while leaving nearby mobs and their physics alone.

WORLD
C

Effects with a sensible budget

Keep bursts of sounds and particles from piling up all at once, one optional setting at a time.

EFFECTS
D

Power saving when you step away

Lower the FPS cap while the game is unfocused, with an option to hide clouds too.

COMFORT
E

Steadier frame times

Spread light-update bursts and the periodic autosave over several frames, and skip far-away detail you can't see anyway.

A good neighbor

Fits into the mods you already use.

Good to know

A few quick answers.

Does Chlorine change render distance?

No. Its adaptive tuning works with simulation distance; render distance is intentionally left alone to avoid expensive chunk render graph rebuilds.

Do I need another performance mod?

For Chlorine 1.0.3+ on Minecraft 26.3, Sodium 0.9.2 or newer is required because the workload governor integrates with Sodium's renderer. Lithium, FerriteCore, EntityCulling, ImmediatelyFast, and Iris remain optional.

Will it improve performance in every world?

Results depend on your hardware, world, entity count, and mod setup. Chlorine provides configurable tools, not a universal FPS guarantee.
