This is a list of Minecraft 1.7.10 mods that are not focused on adding new original content. Instead, they make the base game run better, or port over features from other versions of vanilla.
These lists try to comprehensively list all the available options. You will not want to use all of the listed mods at once.
Some of the listed mods require a Mixin bootstrap mod in order to work. See the Mixin mods section near the end of the document for information about that.

-
Being closed source mods that patch the game invasively, FastCraft and OptiFine are known to cause issues with many mods.
-
OptiFine D7 introduced shader support, which causes incompatibilities with some mods, notably FastCraft 1.23. To fix this, FastCraft 1.25 had some of its optimizations disabled in order to regain compatibility. Therefore, if using FastCraft and OptiFine at the same time, the recommended configurations are:
- OptiFine D6 + FastCraft 1.23: no shader support, but has been found to give better performance.
- OptiFine E7 + FastCraft 1.25: has shader support, but performance may be worse.
Unlike other types of optimization mods, rendering overhaul mods are generally not able to co-exist because they each hijack the renderer in a different way. Here is a graph showing the incompatibilities between the major rendering overhaul mods.
- FastCraft + OptiFine + Neodymium
While OptiFine and FastCraft are highly invasive in their modifications, they have been around the longest and were already present during 1.7.10's heyday, so most incompatibilities have been ironed out by now. Neodymium can be safely added on top since its tweaks are fairly lightweight.
- OptiFine + Neodymium + FalseTweaks
FalseTweaks contains an implementation of chunk occlusion culling and multithreaded chunk rendering which actually works with other mods, unlike the ones in OptiFine and FastCraft. These tweaks allow greatly increased performance, but have not had a chance to go through as much testing.
Note: FalseTweaks is supposedly compatible with FastCraft but I have found this to not be the case, so I excluded it from the recommendation.
- ArchaicFix 0.6.0 + Neodymium
Alternatively, if FalseTweaks+FalsePatternLib isn't compatible with your setup for whatever reason, an older version of the occlusion tweak can be found in ArchaicFix (which is where it originally came from), but this version is not compatible with FastCraft or OptiFine.
- Angelica
Angelica is set to be an all-in-one open source OptiFine replacement, but it's not yet stable enough for general use. Try it if you want a glimpse of what's to come and potentially help out with development.

^ Mixin mods
Most newer coremods require Mixin to work. Some embed Mixin inside the mod jar, allowing the mod to work standalone. But most of them require a separate mod to provide Mixin, as this method tends to cause less problems.
Today, UniMixins
should work for everything but the most obscure of use cases.
Historical information
Mixin loaders on 1.7.10 were once an example of dependency hell. The old list of Mixin mods is preserved here for posterity's sake.
Until recently, most mods were built against Mixin 0.7.11, but mods requiring 0.8 are becoming more common. However, upgrading from Mixin 0.7.11 can sometimes cause issues, as Mixin 0.7.12+ introduced some non-backwards compatible changes. The mixin forks used by GasStation and UniMixins avoid this problem thanks to their backwards compatibility patches.
General recommendation: Use UniMixins, unless a mod requires Grimoire, in which case UniMixins modules can be used to add the missing features on top.
| SpongeMixins | Grimoire | MBL | GasStation | GTNHMixins | UniMixins | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mixin 0.7 | ✅ (0.7.11/0.7.12) | ✅ (0.7.11) | ✴️ (Partial compat) | ✴️ (Partial compat) | ||
| Mixin 0.8 | ✅ (0.8.2) | ✅ (0.8.5-GasMix) | ✅ (0.8.5-GTNH) | ✅ (0.8.5-UniMix) | ||
