ABOUT THIS SECTION
DOCUMENTATION serves as a hub for important information useful to players, developers, and general creators. It thoroughly outlines performance metrics for the MODERNITY by KDT™ resource pack. Our advertised metrics are based on performance with full-screen mode enabled for the most accurate data collection. Below are brief descriptions of each directory tab located to your left [above on mobile]:
OVERVIEW:
Details DOCUMENTATION pages and important prereq. testing information.
FRAMERATES:
Comprehensive framerate metrics for full-screen mode.
COMPETITOR COMPARISON:
Comparison of MODERNITY against other popular packs.
CONTENT CREATORS:
Comprehensive framerate metrics for windowed mode and performance with video recording software.
PAGE CHANGELOGS:
Notes & Updates of recent changes across all DOCUMENTATION pages.
Note: We are a small team so information may not be complete. Thank you for your support and patience as we work diligently to add more information over time.
TESTING INFORMATION
EXPERIMENT VARIABLES
CONTROLLED VARIABLES | PER SYSTEM | NOT INCLUDED* |
|---|---|---|
Data collection software. | Computer CPU & GPU vary. | Laptop performance metrics. |
Hardware settings. | Conducted 3 times for 5 minutes. | Performance without shaders. |
Game & shader settings. | ||
Shaders, textures & mods. | ||
RAM allocation. | ||
Pre-determined path [in game]. | ||
Testing duration.
| ||
Screen mode [full-screen, windowed]. |
Not Included*: We will not be including laptop metrics as, due to their nature, they are expected to perform poorly. Likewise, MODERNITY performance without shaders will not be included as it is expected to perform exceptionally well. Laptop metrics may be conducted in the future, but will be kept separate.
PC SPECS
Disclaimer: We are doing our best to replicate the proper builds for testing, however, we are working with available equipment. These builds are last-gen [in accordance with the current gaming population] as the gaming market is currently evolving.
Budget PC: Simulates the average modern gaming pc based on market research.
Mid-Tier PC: Accessible system offering good performance capable of higher visual fidelity.
Performance: A mix of last-gen, high-end and mid-tier equipment.
High-End: The tail-end of the last-gen machines built for high performance and visual fidelity.
BUDGET PC | MID-TIER PC | PERFORMANCE BUILD | HIGH-END PC |
|---|---|---|---|
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 | CPU: TBD | CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 | CPU: Ryzen 9 5900x |
GPU: RTX 2080S* | GPU: TBD | GPU: RTX 3070 | GPU: RTX 3080 ti |
RAM [ ALLOCATED ]: 10 GB | RAM [ ALLOCATED ]: 10 GB | RAM [ ALLOCATED ]: 10 GB | RAM [ ALLOCATED ]: 10 GB |
Note: According to Steam, the most common build for today's gamers is a base model 3060 with 16 GB of ram. For our Budget PC testing, we will be using a power-cut 2080 Super [90w] and 16 GB of ram to simulate a modern gaming rig.

THE RENDER
GAUNTLET
WHAT IS IT?
The Render Gauntlet is a map in development that will eventually be the primary testing stage for the MODERNITY pack. It will feature various biomes, mods, and builds meant to simulate a wide range of high-stress play scenarios. Below is a list of things we will be testing within The Render Gauntlet:
TESTING TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
⛈️INCLEMENT WEATHER: | Simulates severe weather when framerate is most likely to drop. |
💡LIGHTING CONDITIONS: | Test performance of intense light and shadow sources on PBR blocks. |
🎢 GAME PHYSICS: | Physics calculations of various complexities introduced simultaneously [great for documenting performance related to use with the Create Mod] |
🟩 HIGH PBR BLOCK VOLUME: | For tracking VRAM usage by concentrating high resolution PBR materials or models in one space. |
⚠️ MULTI-EVENT OCCURENCES: | Tests practical gameplay while performing like multi-mod use and simultaneous actions [think animated boss battle during a thunder storm] |
🏙️ MAX RENDER & SIMULATION DISTANCE: | Allows us to check mipmap performance and the engine's ability to render high fidelity texture and shadow volumes at various distances. |
📽️ MULTI-RAM USAGE [for content creators]: | Test the pack's performance during simultaneous use with other resource intensive programs such as OBS and Xbox Capture. |
Once completed this development map will be made available for to the general public in true MODERNITY fashion.
