Way better experience than playing with Optifine with few downsides. It provided almost complete Optifine feature parity with ever better performance, the community and support is great! Never looked back after switching.

The greatest alternative of OptiFine. It is open-source. I tried it and I got high FPS. Also it is just like vanilla minecraft. It doesn't add new blocks, items etc.

Sodium is objectively the best FPS boosting mod out there. From experience, it triples my FPS, and it is said to tenfold on some devices. It does not have shader support however you can use IRIS for that which is just shader supporting Sodium at its basic.

Sodium required fabric API and not support optifine shaderpacks but incrase your FPS dramaticly, reduce micro-stutter, minecraft chunks load very fast.

(Not: Fabric API is modular and lightweight alternative to minecraft forge)

Comments about Iris Mod as a Alternative to OptiFine
pros, cons and recent comments
Atlas19
Iris is basically Sodium mod with shaders. So you basically get shaders with Sodium's FPS boost. And there are very little things, if any at all, you can't replace with mods in Fabric that OptiFine has. But if you're doing heavy modding you'll probably use Forge, in which case your only option will be OptiFine. So you can't really throw away OptiFine either.
