# Methane 3.0.0 Alpha release
**WARNING:** This is a highly-unstable release, and exists so i can see if anyone has issues with this in the wild, especially with mod compat.
**Please report any and all issues you suspect to involve Methane on the [issue tracker.](https://github.com/AnOpenSauceDev/Methane-mod/issues)** This will help **make 3.0.0 _way_ less unstable**, especially with all the other performance mods out there.
changelog:
- fixed one of the oldest bugs with Sodium and Methane involving toggling repeatedly.
- optimizes the lighting engine even more by wrecking it further.
- Created more destructive config settings to squeeze more performance out of the game
- LOLCAT localization
- Minor changes to the English localization
- Make Methane fully comply with the `fabric.mod.json` spec, expect to see cool badges on Mod Menu now!
This version of Methane brings an even larger performance boost, but is highly experimental, **and world saving is incredibly unstable, expect to lose any and all data when playing singleplayer.**
