Note: The incompatibilities listed are for the mods featured in this list only, and does not take into consideration any mods not featured here.
Despite being a toolkit for modding functionality, Fabric API actually contains some optimizations and bugfixes. Even if you aren't planning to run any content mods, I recommend that you still use it. Download it from GitHub.

Developer | Incompatibilities | GitHub Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium | A rendering engine replacement designed to boost your framerate and reduce random stuttering. | CaffeineMC | Canvas | https://github.com/jellysquid3/sodium-fabric |
| Canvas | A shader-oriented rendering engine replacement. Focuses on functionality over raw performance. | Grondag | Sodium | https://github.com/grondag/canvas |
| Cull Particles | This mod adds culling to particles. Redundant if using Sodium, as Sodium has its own implementation, but this should be used by Canvas or Vanilla users. | Tfarcenim | Sodium (redundant) | https://github.com/Tfarcenim/CullParticlesFabric |
| Enhanced Block Entities | Replaces most block entities with baked models. Also allows more customization using JSON. Depends on FRAPI and thus requires Indium if using Sodium. | FoundationGames | Unknown | https://github.com/FoundationGames/EnhancedBlockEntities |
