Maximize Performance While Using the Pack
Lightweight Design
Better Vanilla Animals is built to run smoothly even on lower-end systems. The 3D details use efficient Custom Entity Models that don't significantly impact frame rate compared to default animals.
Optimization Tips
1. Adjust render distance: If you notice lag when many animals are visible, lower your render distance in Video Settings. This reduces the number of entities the game renders at once.
2. Disable unnecessary features: In Video Settings, ensure only essential graphics options are enabled. Features like fancy graphics, shadows, or high-resolution textures consume more resources.
3. Monitor entity count: Use F3 to display debug info. Watch the entity count when near farms. If it's very high, consider spreading animals across different areas.
4. Use OptiFine's settings: OptiFine includes performance tweaks. Open Video Settings and look for options like "Smooth FPS" or "Fast Render" to boost performance without sacrificing the pack's appearance.
Expected Impact
The pack adds minimal overhead. If your system runs vanilla Minecraft smoothly, Better Vanilla Animals should have negligible performance cost.
