What it does

• Cancels lightmap updates if unnecessary
• Caches current sky color to avoid recalculating it
• Prevents calling some methods when not needed e.g. debug renderers without debug nodes

Why should it be in the modpack

• Very simple. Config to disable possibly problematic optimizations.
• Improves performance. On my own testing with Fabulously Optimized 1.20.4 (I have an RTX 3060 and a 12th gen i7-12700):
  • 1926-1955 FPS without BadOptimizations and without any toasts:
  • 
  • 1351-1384 FPS without BadOptimizations and with advancement toasts:
  • 
  • 2008-2023 FPS with BadOptimizations and without any toasts:
  • 
  • 1414-1458 with BadOptimizations and with advancement toasts:
  • 

Why shouldn't it be in the modpack

• Performance impact is usually small but mostly varies on PC.
• Might have some hidden compatibility issues.

When flying around Decked Out 2 in Hermitcraft's Season 9 world, I lose 20-30 FPS on average and have an unstable frame rate with this mod. Is this due to this mod not liking Intel UHD Graphics or some mods in FO? For reference, I am on Fadora Linux using a Intel Core i5-10210U CPU at 1080p.

I've done some testing and I can conform that this decrease of performance is due to not liking Linux, I have made a issue on this mod's github page to track any improvments: #20

@Madis0 my issue has been fixed and this mod would make a great addition to this modpack!

Maybe. Could reevaluate the mod after 1.20.5 is released and in a reasonably stable state.

[ItsThosea]

Oh.right...1.20.5...🫠

1.20.6 is out now :3

Well, FO for 1.20.6 is not in a stable or even beta state yet. Still, you are free to test the mod to see if it still has any benefit in FO.

BadOptimizations breaks Polytone (with a Polytone-compatible resource pack equipped) at the moment, I've also had issues with it turning the sky completely grey. For how micro-optimizations-ey these changes seem it feels like it's not worth to add it to the modpack for the instabilities and incompatibilities it causes.
