Why Embeddium?
Why does select version 1.20.1?
Because I believe newer versions are more promising than older, and almost mods are compatible 1.20.1.
Furthermore, Mods that supports 1.20.1 are the largest in versions 1.20+, and 1.20.1 is compatible with both NeoForge and Forge.
Why not use Fabric?
Because number of Forge mods larger than number of Fabric mods.
But Fabric is faster and lighter than Forge, so I wanna support Fabric in the future.
Why not use NeoForge?
Because NeoForge is stopped maintenance to 1.20.1.
Gonna migrates if NeoForge supports new Forge version.
Why not use Optifine?
Not available rather than not use.
Because Optifine isn’t distributed on Modrinth or CurseForge,
and redistribution isn’t permitted.
Also, Optifine isn’t compatible some mods, and there’re some Optifine version incompatible some Forge version. Overmore, Optifine almost features were implemented by official and mods.
Why not use other mods that are optimize rendering?
Because Embeddium is maintained.
