CrystalPvP Optimization

🧊 CrystalPvP Modpack – Performance & Utility Overview

The CrystalPvP Modpack is built for competitive PvP, especially crystal PvP, and focuses heavily on optimization, clarity, and speed. Here's how it breaks down:

🔧 Performance & Optimization Mods

• Sodium / Sodium Extra / Sodium Leaf Culling / Sodium Options API – Major FPS boost mods; optimize rendering.

• Lithium – Improves game physics performance.

• FerriteCore – Reduces memory usage by optimizing block/entity storage.

• Krypton – Network performance optimization.

• ModernFix – Fixes memory leaks and crashes; boosts performance.

• C2ME – Optimizes chunk loading and multi-threading.

• Clumps – Groups XP orbs to reduce lag.

• Dynamic FPS – Reduces CPU/GPU usage when the game is unfocused.

• FastQuit – Speeds up game closing.

• ImmediatelyFast – Improves rendering speeds instantly.

• Enhanced Block Entities – Optimizes tile entity rendering (e.g., chests).

• Entity Culling – Avoids rendering entities not visible to the player.

• More Culling – Extends culling logic beyond just entities.

🧼 UI, HUD & Visual Tweaks

• Mod Menu – Lets you view and configure installed mods from the main menu.

• Reese's Sodium Options – Enhanced UI for Sodium settings.

• Inventory HUD+ – Displays armor, item durability, and more on screen.

• Shulker Box Tooltip – View contents of shulker boxes in tooltips.

• Simple Armor HUD – Shows armor durability on the HUD.

• Clean Tooltips – Makes tooltips easier to read.

• CleanF3 – Simplifies the debug (F3) screen.

• Armorchroma – Adds color-coded armor durability display.

• AppleSkin – Shows hunger and saturation stats.

🛠️ Gameplay Enhancements

• Mouse Tweaks – Improves inventory handling with mouse gestures.

• AutoClicker – Automatically clicks (usually for PvP).

• Full Brightness Toggle – Lets you toggle brightness to full.

• Zoomify – Adds a smooth zoom feature (like OptiFine's zoom).

• Freecam – Lets you fly around in a ghost mode (useful for building).

• Elytra Swapper – Quickly swap armor with Elytra and back.

• Placeholder API – Used by mods to insert dynamic text or values.

• ForgeConfigAPI Port – Enables Forge-like config support on Fabric.

🧩 Core Libraries / Dependencies

• Fabric API – Required for most Fabric mods to work.

• Cloth Config – Configuration GUI support for many mods.

• Fabric Language Kotlin – Enables Kotlin-based mods.

• MidnightLib – Shared library for some optimization mods.

• Yet Another Config Lib (YACL) – For in-game mod configuration.

• Collective – Library with shared code for mods.

• Txnilib – Likely a support library for Sodium or related mods.

🌍 Miscellaneous

• Bobby – Lets you see beyond server view distance (like far render).

• IAS (Inventory Access Shortcut) – Allows fast inventory interaction.

• Hero’s Anchor Optimizer – Optimization mod for anchors and redstone.

• Marlow's Crystal Optimizer – PvP-focused performance enhancer.

• Server Country Flags – Shows server flags in multiplayer list.

• Accurate Block Placement – Ensures precise block placement for PvP/building.

• Debugify – Fixes minor bugs in vanilla Minecraft.

• CIT Resewn – Custom item textures (e.g., resource packs).

⚙️ Tips for Best Performance

• Turn off VSync and Smooth Lighting for better PvP responsiveness.

• Use Sodium's advanced settings to tweak chunk loading and animations.

• Keep render distance low (4–6 chunks is enough for PvP).

• Allocate 4–6GB of RAM – more can sometimes hurt performance due to garbage collection issues.

• If using shaders (like with Iris), stick with low-impact ones or disable them entirely for serious PvP.

If you're using a Fabric version of the pack, most of these mods are built around that lightweight mod loader for best speed.
