Lithium is a modern, general-purpose optimization mod for Minecraft which works to improve a number of systems (game physics, mob AI, block ticking, etc) with the goal of not changing any vanilla mechanics. :warning: Though this fork is functional, things may be broken.
Currently, only on release page.
Please DO NOT join CaffeineMC's Discord to seek support for this fork. Forks or unofficial versions of Lithium are not supported by the original developers. If you encounter any issues, check current issues on this repo or make a new issue.
If you're hacking on the code or would like to compile a custom build of Lithium from the latest sources, you'll want to start here.
You will need to install JDK 8 (or newer, see below) in order to build Lithium. You can either install this through a package manager such as Chocolatey on Windows or SDKMAN! on other platforms. If you'd prefer to not use a package manager, you can always grab the installers or packages directly from AdoptOpenJDK.
On Windows, the Oracle JDK/JRE builds should be avoided where possible due to their poor quality. Always prefer using the open-source builds from AdoptOpenJDK when possible.
Navigate to the directory you've cloned this repository and launch a build with Gradle using gradlew build (Windows)
or ./gradlew build (macOS/Linux). If you are not using the Gradle wrapper, simply replace gradlew with gradle
or the path to it.
The initial setup may take a few minutes. After Gradle has finished building everything, you can find the resulting
artifacts in build/libs.
