Vanilla Worldgen optimization mod
Fast Noise is a modern optimization mod to improve world generation times. I regularly update the mod to latest minecraft versions, bring improvements to the mod, and provide stable releases.
Does the mod change world generation? The mod maintains vanilla parity, including with any datapacks. Do keep in mind, Vanilla non-determinism.
Can I use custom worldgen mods with this? Yes, I try my best to maintain mod compatibility, and only modify safe code. Specific optimizations that may affect mod compatibility are disabled by default.
Fast noise optimizes storing block and biome data into chunks for the duration of worldgen.
Technical DetailsFast noise replaces populateNoise,populateBiomes in NoiseChunkGenerator and surfaceBuilder in SurfaceBuilder.
Fast noise optimizes world generation by making several strong assumptions about how world generation works. By replacing vanilla's generic and debug code for world storage with faster, more packed calculations, fast noise achieves faster throughput.
Some key methods used to achieve that are, reducing allocations, avoiding palette resizing, delaying/packing block counting, precalculating data,
caching block state information and more.
Noisium is archived and didn't had any noticable benefits.
Fast Noise provides consistent improvements to worldgen speed.
About 4-10% improvement to overall worldgen

The benchmarks may have some inaccuracies.
Q- What Minecraft versions will the mod be supporting?
A- I'll try to support the latest minecraft version.
Q- Are backports planned?
A- No backports are planned, current backports were a one time thing.
Q- What other mods/dependencies do I need?
A- No dependencies are required.
Q- Will there be a neoforge version?
A- Yes, a NeoForge variant is planned post 26.1.
Q- XYZ mod crashes, or generates incorrectly with Fast Noise?
A- Report the issue on codeberg or my socials.
Moonrise is incompatible, as It changes minecraft internals drastically
Noisium is incompatible, as Fast Noise is intended as a replacement for noisium.
