Optimizing Performance with OptiFine or Sodium Compatibility
Running the Pack on Lower-End Hardware
CotCotPack is designed with compressed and optimized textures to ensure smooth frame rates even on low-end hardware ("toasters"). It functions with vanilla Minecraft Java, but it also natively supports performance mods such as OptiFine and Sodium.
If your machine struggles with frame drops, ensure your chosen optimization mod is installed, then load CotCotPack at the top of your resource pack list. The compressed textures will reduce memory pressure compared to unoptimized packs.
Configuring OptiFine for Custom Visuals
If you run OptiFine alongside CotCotPack, verify that the pack's extra visual features are toggled on in your video settings:
1. Go to Options... -> Video Settings... -> Quality....
2. Confirm that Custom Colors is set to ON. This allows the pack's custom colormap and custom lightmap to render properly across biomes and lighting levels.
3. Return to Video Settings... and open Animations....
4. Make sure Items Animated and Textures Animated are set to ON so you can view CotCotPack's custom animated items.
