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.

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!

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

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