OptiFrames

A lightweight, client-side Fabric mod that makes large map displays render cleaner and smoother without changing their appearance.

Performance Test with 40x40 and 70x70 map

Test are made with Sodium but you can expect same gain without it.

Why use OptiFrames?

• Optimized rendering: hides redundant borders between adjacent maps.
• Texture Atlas: all map textures are packed into a shared atlas, drastically reducing GPU draw calls.
• FPS boost: expect up to 9x FPS increase with large maps.
• Map decoration support: player markers, banners, and other map icons still render correctly.
• Lightweight: designed to work well alongside Sodium and Iris.

Installation

1. Download the latest optiframes-<version>.jar from the Modrinth/Curseforge page.
2. Place the JAR in your mods folder.
3. Start Minecraft using a Fabric profile.

Configuration

You can configure the mod with Mod Menu:

• Enable/Disable Optiframes entirely.
• Frame Render Type — choose between vanilla and optimized frame model rendering.
• Frame borders — toggle frame border rendering for extra performance.
• Back Face Rendering — toggle rendering of item frames back face.
• Atlas size — choose the atlas texture size, Bigger = more maps per draw call. Default 4096 works great for most setups.
