Smart Optimization
Smart Optimization is an adaptive performance optimization mod for Minecraft that automatically adjusts your graphics settings based on your current FPS.
The mod continuously monitors performance and dynamically applies or restores graphical settings depending on whether your game is running below or above your configured FPS thresholds.
This allows you to keep high-quality visuals most of the time while still ensuring smooth gameplay during heavy performance drops.
⚠️ This mod is still in active development. Features may change, and new optimization options will be added over time.
How it works
Smart Optimization tracks your average FPS over time.
- If FPS drops below the low threshold, the mod gradually reduces performance-heavy settings.
- If FPS rises above the high threshold, the mod restores your original settings step by step.
Before making any changes, Smart Optimization saves your original configuration so everything can be restored exactly as it was.
Optimizations are applied gradually in a controlled order to avoid sudden visual changes.
Optimizations include
Depending on configuration, Smart Optimization can adjust:
- Entity render distance
- Entity shadows
- Particle effects
- Cloud rendering
- Simulation distance
- Render distance
Each category can be individually enabled or disabled.
Commands
FPS control
Set the FPS threshold for when optimization starts:
/smartopt low <fps>
Set the FPS threshold for when settings are restored:
/smartopt high <fps>
Set how often FPS is checked:
/smartopt updatetime <seconds>
Configuration system
Enable or disable specific optimizations:
/smartopt configure <setting> <true/false>
Available settings:
- entitydistance
- entityshadows
- particles
- clouds
- simulationdistance
- renderdistance
Example:
/smartopt configure particles false
This prevents Smart Optimization from modifying particle settings.

Who is this mod for?
Smart Optimization is designed for players who:

- want better performance without permanently lowering graphics settings
- play on low-end or mid-range PCs
- use modpacks or heavy worlds
- prefer automatic optimization instead of manual tweaking
