   Better performance on most computers, nearly all Optifine features are replicated, works better with other mods, is open-source and built with the community

   Complete feature parity, faster by a huge margins and gets quick updates (like month before Optifine).

   Sodium vs OptiFine Comments

   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)

   Iris Shaders vs OptiFine Comments

   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.

   Isn't meant to be an OptiFine replacement as they don't do similar things, you should look elsewhere.
