[Minecraft] CurseForge + Sodium + Shaders now giving me lower FPS
Hi !
The first time I installed CurseForge, it boosted my FPS a lot. Now I came back to play and noticed
-I can't craft copper
-The Leaf Litter don’t appear
-The Happy Ghast doesn’t show up
Basically, the game feels not updated.
After checking, I realized I was using an old instance (Fabric 0.16.5)
I created a new one with Fabric 0.18.1, and there everything works (copper, leaves, etc).
The problem:
In the new instance, shaders give me much lower FPS.
Before: ~80 FPS
Now: ~40 FPS
Tried other shaders, same result
I also tried installing Sodium + shaders manually in the official launcher, and it still stays at ~40 FPS.
Any idea why the new instance performs worse?
Some pictures in case they help
Old version
New version
Thanks in advance for any help
