# Methane 3.0.0
**NOTE:** the old and more "stable" feature set of methane can be activated via the settings menu for the mod. **you will be grandfathered into the new engine, so if you want the use the old one, you'll have to enable it yourself.**
This is a major release of Methane, with breaking changes for 1.20.1 and below. Performance with the new engine should be better, but saving for singleplayer is more unstable (make sure to manually save frequently!).
Changelog:
- `it_it` translation
- minor loading time speedup
- fixes with other mods like Sodium (behavior should be identical to vanilla w/ methane)
- the lightmapper's performance has been greatly improved by storing light data, and essentially allowing you to "pause" the state of light.
- changes to `fabric.mod.json`
- **😺️ lolcat**
- more destructive config settings, allows you to squeeze even more performance out of all the menus in-game.
