Best performance optimization mods for use with moonrise

[Israel-Mael]

Which mods should I use with Moonrise (and this one)?
Only the necessary ones, without filling my game with mods.

I use Ferritecore, Lithium, Moonrise (this), this setup already works wonders for me. You can go further with more optimization mods (for example: ModernFix) but these are the core ones in my opinion.

Sometimes I think: “Why so many optimization mods? All of this must cause a lot of instability and incompatibility.” "Why doesn't anyone create a mod that combines everything that other mods like Entity Culling, More Culling, BadOptimizations, ImmediatelyFast, ModernFix, Better Block Entities, etc. do into a single mod(something that Optifine does in a similar way)?

In my opinion, Moonrise seems to do all that, or am I wrong? That's why I asked for recommendations for only the optimization mods necessary to put in my game without filling it with these common mods that improve performance.

My PC:

• i3 7100
• 8GB RAM DDR4
• GTX 1050ti 4GB
• SSD 256GB
• Windows 10
• Prism Launcher with Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11

Do keep in mind that while all these projects work towards performance and might seem cluttered (Can be the case if using overlapping mods/mixins, etc), they do focus on different things to optimize. I have yet to see a mod and its developers try to optimize and reimplement everything while doing everything right towards their motive. Its just too much for one team to handle in a single project.

For me personally it got a bit overwhelming at first but once I took the time to understand what each project improved upon and what might be overlapping (achieved by watching mixin for overlapping overwrites), made me disable certain features of Ferritecore and ModernFix to leave these disabled changes to moonrise to implement. This setup so far has made for huge server performance gain.
