+
+The following is a short list, more alternatives can be found through further research, the list is alphabetical.
+

+Chunk Caching - [Bobby](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/bobby)
+
+Bobby is incompatible with Starlight.
+
+Connected Textures - [Continuity](https://modrinth.com/mod/continuity)
