Some modders make great low resource mods, but anything Forge is awful about this. TheCaveMinersWorld is one of my favorite non-forge mods ever, and is pretty much invisible performance wise, even with minor improvements in some areas.

The specs required to run high render distance mods with beautiful shaders keep going down. There’s legit work being done if you don’t fall into the trap of moving the goalpost every time a new wave of mods comes out.
