Vortex: Mod Usage Analyzer for NeoForge Servers
Vortex is a lightweight, server-side NeoForge mod designed to give server administrators clear insights into how their modpack is actually being used by players.
What it Does:
-
Tracks Modded Content Usage: Vortex silently monitors player interactions with content from other mods, including:
- Right-clicking on modded blocks.
- Right-clicking with modded items.
- Crafting recipes that output modded items.
- Dealing damage to modded entities.
-
Filters Out Vanilla: It intelligently ignores all interactions with vanilla Minecraft content, focusing solely on the mods you've added.
-
In-Game Summaries: Administrators can use a simple command (
/vortex
or/vx
) to get an immediate summary of the most and least used mods across all tracked categories directly in the game chat. -
Dataview web-panel: A simple web-panel that allows admins to view the data Vortex has collected on their server in an easy to read and sortable manner.
- Detailed CSV Export: When your server shuts down, Vortex automatically generates a detailed CSV file (e.g.,
vortex_mod_usage_data_MM-DD-YYYY.HH-mm.csv
) in your server'sconfig/vortex/
folder. This file provides raw, organized data for deeper analysis in spreadsheet software or data visualization tools.
Why Your Server Needs Vortex:
- Optimize Your Modpack: Make data-driven decisions to streamline your modpack. Identify mods that are rarely used and consider removing them to reduce server load, client lag, and overall file size.
- Enhance Player Experience: Discover which mods your community loves and uses the most, helping you focus on content that truly engages your players.
- Informed Decisions: Move beyond guesswork or player polls. Vortex provides concrete usage statistics to refine your server's modded experience.
Vortex is an essential tool for any NeoForge server administrator looking to maintain a lean, efficient, and player-centric modpack.
