AnimFix
Decreases the stuttering caused by animated textures in 1.7.10
About this Mod
UPDATE: This mod has been merged into FalseTweaks, this mod won't receive updates anymore.
A mixin-based library to improve the horrible stuttering in heavily modded games caused by animated textures (OptiFine calls it "Animated Terrain", but this mod actually optimizes the way said animations are uploaded to the graphics card, instead of just outright turning them off and calling that a "fix").
This happens because each individual animated texture has to separately upload its contents to the GPU. Each of these uploads has a nonzero overhead, which quickly spirals out of control when faced with hundreds or even thousands of animated textures.
This mod fixes that problem by batching those animated textures into a single gigantic texture, which gets uploaded in a single step. This causes a little bit of extra video memory usage, but with modern hardware it's negligible, while the overhead of individually uploading tiny textures is not.
The batching has a user-configurable limit, see the mod's config file for more information.

Does AnimFix need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks AnimFix as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does AnimFix require?
Use a file for forge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.7.10. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
AnimFix is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
