Prism Launcher: Optimizing Minecraft with Mods on an M2 MacBook Air
I have only ever really played two games in my life: SimCity and its spiritual successors on one hand, and on the other hand, Minecraft. This game has been with me for the better part of a decade now, and while I haven’t really launched the game for more than an hour at a time over the past two years (and have been neglecting it completely for the past few months), I’m finally back into it now. And I am obsessed with placing blocks again.
Even though Minecraft runs pretty well on my M2 MacBook Air, I found that the game could chug in some places, especially when loading new parts of the world or raising the render distance. To alleviate this, I knew I could probably find an optimization mod that would allow the game to run more smoothly on my machine. Back in the day, when I was pulling all-nighters in Minecraft on my old 2015 MacBook Pro, I would rely on OptiFine, a well-known mod that enhances performance on lower-end machines.
