Over the weekend I started trying out the #minecraft Fabric mod loader with Sodium and Phosphor as an alternative to OptiFine. They're LGPL-licensed rendering and lighting optimization mods, respectively.
So far, so good! The game seems to run as well or better than it does under OptiFine on my ancient laptop.
@nagot I just downloaded Lithium today. 👍 It hadn't been updated for 1.16.5 yet when I was downloading the others on Friday.
@AstralPegasus98 @nagot Do you need Phosphor and Lithium with Sodium to get better fps? Cause I just use Sodium, and don’t see much of a difference compared to Optifine, though I’m not sure if Phosphor or Lithium help.
I have never heard of those two mods either, so please let me know how to install/use them to get the best fps. I run on a really old computer and barely get 30 fps with Sodium :P
@Logical_Error
Oh, tou just need to install Fabric and then copy mods in folder "mods". Then you can play with settings, however I didn't change them. These three mods were made to work as one team. So good luck, I guess it'll be around 50 FPS after manipulations

Oh yeah you also can install third one mode from this team, but I forgot this name.
P.S. These mods increased FPS from 50-60 up to 380
