FermiumASM instead CensoredASM

[XvaleX10]

Why the mod should be added to Opticraft

As with the original and the forks, FermiumASM makes multiple improvements, optimizations, and bug fixes to Minecraft, including but not limited to:

• Optimizing RAM usage, especially in larger packs.
• Fixing multiple crashes, in Minecraft, Forge, and some other mods.
• Multiple performance improvements.
• Crash handling to allow you directly upload crash reports to mclo.gs. While the NormalASM forks only rebranded and stayed updated with CensoredASM, FermiumASM on the other hand does more significant changes to its function:
• Refactored and modified to use and depend on FermiumBooter, an MIT alternative to mixin loading, replacing its dependency on MixinBooter.
• Modified to remove internal dependency on MixinExtras.
• Removes internal Spark profiling as it is both incompatible with, and superseded by, the updated fork Spark Unforged, allowing for better profiling.
• Removes the chance to pick a random author to blame in a crash report.
• Rebranded user-facing and logging branding, including icon and url, to FermiumASM, and updated authors to recognize fork authors.

Warning: This is my opinion about the mod, please take it as reference.

Currently stage of FermiumASM hasn't improved much outside of CensoredASM from what I can tell here:

• Rebranding.
• Replace depencencies.
• Remove VFix "random author blame" feature.
• Remove hard depend on old Spark version.

Yes, I do know that it has new commits comparing to the mod's parent. But, unless there is a benchmark that can show improvement in performance, I don't think it is worth to switch the mod.

I did a test in my modpack with 115 mods and I got a better result with FermiumASM than CensoredASM with 150mb less ram usage and almost 30 fps more Also with FermiumASM I reached 515 fps while the maximum with CensoredASM was 485 fps

After carefully looking at the difference between the source code of both mods, the only real difference lowers performance.

skmedix/NormalASM@dev/sync-5.14...fonnymunkey:FermiumASM:dev/sync-5.14#diff-fb36776548L30-R32

In addition Fermium ASM is outdated and lacks important changes.

Can you elaborate on what the performance issues are, I have not had this reported before and I see no changes that would cause such an issue?

Additionally it is now fully up to date along with newer changes, Curseforge approval took nearly 2 weeks so I preferred to bundle multiple changes at once over staying fully up to date instantly.

@Inject for example has lower performance than @ModifyReturnValue additionally it completly destroys compatibility with other mods

[fonnymunkey]

From my testing the performance difference is non-significant during actual gameplay, however for the sake of compatibility concerns I've restored the MixinExtras usage in the latest 5.23 release which is now uploaded, along with re-synced upstream (Which is now ahead of NormalASM.)
