Context

Both Linux Mint laptops (Yoga 730 and Dell) are running Minecraft 26.1.2 vanilla. Performance mods would improve FPS on the older hardware.

Goal

Install Fabric loader + performance mods on both laptops via Prism Launcher.

Steps

  1. Install Prism Launcher via Flatpak on each laptop:
    flatpak install flathub org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher
    
  2. Create new instance in Prism ? select Fabric loader ? version 26.1.2
  3. Add the following mods from Modrinth (built into Prism):
    • Sodium � rendering/FPS improvement
    • Lithium � game logic/physics optimization
    • ScalableLux � lighting engine optimization
    • Jade � shows block/entity name and info when you look at it (replaces F3 debug screen)
  4. These are client-side only � fully compatible with the PaperMC server, no server changes needed.

Notes

  • Mods must match the exact Minecraft version (26.1.2)
  • Prism Launcher manages its own Java � no system Java install needed
  • The official Minecraft launcher can remain installed for vanilla play
