FakeFPS is a lightweight client-side mod that displays realistic-looking fake FPS numbers on your screen. The numbers change dynamically within a configurable range to simulate a smooth gameplay experience — even if your real FPS doesn't agree.
🎮 Perfect For:
- 🖥 Streamers & YouTubers – make your gameplay look smoother on camera
- 📸 Cinematic recordings & screenshots – impress with high FPS overlays
- 🎨 Custom modpacks – add a cool touch to your HUD
- 🤫 Pranks or aesthetic use – make people wonder how you're running 500 FPS on a potato
⚙️ Features:
- HUD Overlay – Displays a fake FPS counter (e.g.
[456 FPS]) on screen with smooth, realistic fluctuations. Choose from six positions: top/bottom, left/right, or center. - F3 Debug Screen Override (v1.1.0+) – The F3 menu shows your fake FPS too, in Minecraft's native format. Completely seamless. Toggle it in the config or via command.
- Realistic FPS Behavior (v1.1.0+) – FPS drifts naturally toward a target value with occasional micro-dips to simulate chunk loading and GC pauses — much more convincing than random jumps.
In-Game Commands (Minecraft 1.21.11+ only) – Change your settings without touching any files or restarting the game. Full tab-complete support included.
/fakefps min <number> – set minimum FPS (v1.1.0+)
/fakefps max <number> – set maximum FPS (v1.1.0+)
/fakefps position <name> – change HUD position (v1.1.0+)
/fakefps hud <true/false> – toggle HUD on and off (v1.1.1+)
/fakefps f3 <true/false> – toggle F3 override (v1.1.0+)
/fakefps status – show current settings (v1.1.0+)
Config File – All settings are stored in config/fakefpsmod.json. Old config files from v1.0.x are automatically migrated — no manual changes needed.
