Valkyrie

As the Valkyries' whispers guide us, we carve our path to a Valhalla of optimized Minecraft gameplay.

Valkyrie is a mod designed to optimize client-side operations while simultaneously introducing some valuable features.

Though currently in its beta stage, rest assured that Valkyrie remains fully stable. The 'beta' label simply reflects our ongoing commitment to continual improvement and optimization, we're not done enhancing its capabilities just yet!

We greatly value your feedback and ideas. If you notice anything missing or have specific optimizations in mind that you'd like us to incorporate, don't hesitate to reach out. You can share your suggestions or report issues on our GitHub page or join the conversation on our Discord server.

Performance Enhancements

Valkyrie at its core is designed to optimize the client side to make your FPS higher and more stable, here’s the list of things it optimizes:

• Faster cloud rendering
• Faster ViewFrustum was entirely optimized, improving visual terrain loading speed and gives more stable FPS
• Faster MathHelper which improves the speed of mathematical operations
• Faster RenderGlobal which improves rendering speed
• Faster WorldVertexBufferUploader which improves rendering speed
• Faster ModelRenderer which improve rendering speed of models

Technical Details

• ViewFrustum was optimized by reducing in loop calculations, doing less work, using bitwise operations, and reducing nested loops
• MathHelper was optimized by using Jafama
• RenderGlobal#setupTerrain was optimized removing unnecessary duplication and merging of the chunk to update queue and optimizing the iteration process
• RenderGlobal#getRenderChunkOffset was optimized with bitwise operations which improve its speed, which helps with making RenderGlobal#setupTerrain faster
• WorldVertexBufferUploader#draw was optimized by keeping track of the index of the current element in the post-render loop making it O(n) instead of O(n^2)
• ModelRenderer was optimized by using a transformation matrix thus reducing OpenGL calls by 90%, which improve performance on complex models (Thanks Nessiesson, Ven)

Features

• Configurable Zoom: Zoom in with precision or pan out for a broader view with Valkyrie's flexible and user-friendly zoom functionality.
• Bigger Atlas: Valkyrie allows you to have a texture atlas as big as your GPU really supports.
• Colored Clouds: Experience the ethereal beauty of clouds tinted by the rising and setting sun with Valkyrie's Colored Clouds feature.
• Independent Clouds Render Distance: Gain the power to customize your clouds' render distance independently, enabling them to extend beyond the terrain render distance.
• Modern Icons & Logo: By default, Valkyrie changes the main menu logo to the newer one as well as the window icon
• Window Customization: Personalize your Minecraft window title and icon with Valkyrie, a handy feature for modpack developers.
• Bug Fixes: Beyond enhancing performance and aesthetics, Valkyrie also addresses Minecraft bugs such as MC-67532.

FAQ
