About this Mod
Tekst
A silly little mod to make text rendering faster!
This is a mod designed to improve text rendering speeds in scenarios where there are lots of formatted characters (e.g. shadows, underlines, strikethroughs). This can have quite an impact when playing on servers such as Hypixel, where chat and nametags have tons of formatting.
This mod has no known incompatabilities and has no dependencies.

Benchmarks (Middle-end hardware, using Fabulously Optimized):
(F3 screen in void is used here to have a large, but consistent amount of formatted text similar to popular servers)

Does Tekst need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Tekst 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 Tekst require?
Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.4. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Tekst 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.
