💎 FASTCRYSTALS

⚡ Faster Crystal PvP. Smarter latency compensation. Client + Server synchronization.

FastCrystals is a server-side Crystal PvP optimization plugin designed to make End Crystal interactions feel significantly faster and more responsive — especially for players suffering from high latency.

Instead of changing Crystal PvP itself, FastCrystals focuses on one major problem:

📡 The delay between the player, the server, and the result of their actions.

FastCrystals analyzes network conditions, tracks End Crystal interactions and applies carefully designed latency optimizations while keeping the server authoritative.

It works for normal vanilla players out of the box.

And with the optional ImAnEngineer's Fast Crystals client mod...

🧪 THE CHEMICAL REACTION HAPPENS.

🚀 WHAT DOES FASTCRYSTALS DO?

In normal Minecraft, Crystal PvP can become increasingly unresponsive as ping increases.

A player may:

💥 Break a crystal
⏳ Wait for the server
💎 Attempt to place another crystal
⏳ Wait again
⚔️ Continue fighting

FastCrystals is designed to reduce the unnecessary latency surrounding this process.

The plugin provides:

• ⚡ Faster-feeling Crystal PvP interactions
• 💎 Improved End Crystal responsiveness
• 📡 Ping-aware optimization
• 🧠 Crystal tracking and prediction
• 👻 Anti-ghost crystal handling
• 🔄 Better client/server synchronization
• 📈 Automatic network profile selection
• 🛡️ Server-authoritative validation
• 🌐 High-ping optimizations
• 🟣 Dedicated Bedrock handling
• 🧪 Optional Ultra Sync integration

All of this happens automatically.

📡 BUILT FOR HIGH PING

FastCrystals is especially useful when latency starts becoming noticeable.

Instead of applying exactly the same behavior to everyone, FastCrystals can adapt its optimization profile depending on the player's connection.

Optimization profiles include:

• 🟢 SAFE — Low latency
• 🔵 BALANCED — Moderate latency
• 🟡 HIGH — High latency
• 🟠 MAX — Very high latency
• 🟣 BEDROCK — Dedicated Bedrock handling
• 🔴 Fallback — Extreme/unreliable network conditions

This allows FastCrystals to remain conservative for low-ping players while providing stronger latency compensation where it is actually useful.

👻 ANTI-GHOST CRYSTAL SYSTEM

Prediction is useless if it leaves the client desynchronized.

FastCrystals therefore includes dedicated handling for ghost crystals and rejected predictions.

The plugin tracks what actually happens server-side instead of permanently assuming that a predicted action succeeded.

This helps FastCrystals recover from situations such as:

• ❌ Rejected interactions
• 📡 Sudden latency spikes
• 🔄 Delayed packets
• 💎 Unexpected crystal state changes
• ⚔️ Another player interacting with the same crystal
• 🛡️ Server-side restrictions

The server always remains the final authority.

🧪 IMANENGINEER'S FAST CRYSTALS

FastCrystals can work completely on its own.

But it also supports my dedicated Fabric client optimization mod:

💜 ImAnEngineer's Fast Crystals

The mod is designed around the same idea as the plugin, but works from the client side.

It can provide features such as:

• ⚡ Immediate local crystal feedback
• 💎 Crystal placement prediction
• 💥 Crystal break prediction
• 🎯 Faster local retargeting
• 👻 Adaptive anti-ghost recovery
• 📡 Network responsiveness improvements

The mod does NOT need the plugin.

The plugin does NOT need the mod.

They are two independent optimizers.

But when they detect each other...
