Sparked Hostmercurizer

A Sodium addon built for hardware that can't handle Sodium. Most "performance" mods assume you have a dedicated GPU and at least 8GB of RAM. Mercurizer doesn't. It's a Sodium addon designed specifically for integrated graphics, 4GB of RAM, and the kind of PC that struggles with Windows 10.

why

Sodium is great — but it still has a performance floor that leaves a lot of players behind, especially in developing countries where "gaming PC" means integrated graphics and 4GB of RAM, not a GTX 1080 Ti.

Mercurizer goes further. The goal is simple:

Give players with low-end hardware the ability to play Minecraft at a smooth framerate.

What makes it different from plain Sodium?

  • Optimized for integrated GPUs — Intel HD, AMD Vega iGPUs, and similar hardware that shares VRAM with system RAM
  • Simplified GLSL shaders — complex shader operations tank iGPU performance; Mercurizer keeps things lightweight
  • Lower VRAM usage — on integrated graphics, VRAM and RAM share the same pool, so every megabyte counts
  • Auto-tuning benchmark — on first launch, Mercurizer benchmarks your GPU upload speed and CPU throughput, then automatically tunes Sodium's chunk upload and texture animation settings to match your exact hardware. Reruns if you change GPU or drivers
  • Real low-end benchmarks — tested on actual budget hardware. 37 FPS to 114 FPS on integrated graphics — 3.08x Sodium's performance!

Benchmark Specs: MacBook Air 2017, i5-5350U, 8GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 6000, Debian 13 (KDE Plasma)

Settings: 16 chunks render distance, Vsync off, rest is vanilla

whoisthismodfor?

  • Players on integrated graphics (Intel HD, AMD Vega, etc.)
  • Players with 4GB of RAM or less
  • Anyone who tried Sodium and still struggled
  • Players in developing countries where budget hardware is the norm

compatibility

  • Minecraft: 1.21.11+ (Java Edition)
  • Loader: Fabric
  • Requires Sodium to be installed alongside it
  • Fully compatible with Iris, Sodium Extra, and Reese's Sodium Options

Expect bugs — Mercurizer is in active development. If something breaks, report it and include your hardware specs.

0.9.1-beta.2+mc26.2-1.1Релиз26.2 · 28 июня 2026 г.
  • Adaptive tuning: after 30 seconds of stable gameplay, Mercurizer refines its upload budget based on real frame times instead of only the synthetic benchmark
  • Fixed upload scaling being permanently suppressed on slow hardware (dynamic target now tracks the hardware's own best frame time instead of assuming 60 FPS)
  • Fixed benchmark running on the render thread, which caused the screen to freeze for several seconds on slow hardware (1.21.11)
  • GPU and driver capabilities are now re-probed when re-running the benchmark
  • Removed the settings screen rename that was hiding the Sodium donate button
  • Fixed a silent error when benchmark.json could not be read
  • Added asymmetric dynamic scaling to prevent FPS oscillation
