Features

Hardware Detection

• Real-time RAM monitoring using ManagementFactory.getMemoryMXBean()
• TPS tracking using Bukkit.getServer().getTickTimes() (PaperMC)
• Performance metrics collection every 200 ticks (10 seconds)

Dynamic Scaling Levels

** Level 1 (Healthy):**

• Trigger: RAM < 80% and TPS ≥ 18.0
• Settings: View Distance 10, Simulation Distance 8
• Features: All mob AI enabled, maximum performance

** Level 2 (Moderate):**

• Trigger: RAM > 80% or TPS < 18.0
• Settings: View Distance 8, Simulation Distance 6
• Features: Disables AI for distant mobs (>64 blocks away)

** Level 3 (Critical):**

• Trigger: RAM > 92% or TPS < 15.0
• Settings: View Distance 5, Simulation Distance 4
• Features: Pauses non-essential mob AI, clears old ground items

Visual Integrity

• Smart AI management using entity.setAI(false) instead of deletion
• Preserves world feel - maintains entity presence
• Only hard-clears items in Level 3 critical mode (2+ minutes old)

Smart Unloading

• Automatic chunk unloading in empty dimensions (5+ minutes)
• Spawn chunk protection - never unloads spawn areas
• Entity-aware unloading - skips chunks with entities
• Dimension tracking - monitors player presence per world

Cross-Platform Compatibility

• PaperMC: Full API support with simulation distance control
• Spigot/Bukkit: Graceful degradation - simulation distance disabled
• Purpur: Full compatibility with enhanced performance
• Forge/Fabric: Framework ready for platform integration

Configuration

All settings are customizable via config.yml:

# Performance thresholds
thresholds:
  ram:
    moderate: 80.0
    critical: 92.0
  tps:
    moderate: 18.0
    critical: 15.0

# Distance settings
distances:
  view:
    min: 4
    max: 16
  simulation:
    min: 4
    max: 12

# Optimization settings
optimization:
  check_interval_ticks: 200        # 10 seconds
  chunk_unload_delay_minutes: 5
  ground_item_clear_minutes: 2
