About this project
What does Hitchless add?
Hitchless
Fewer stutters in big modpacks, and the cause of every one that is left.
FPS counters show the average. What you feel are the single frames that take 50, 100 or 300 ms: the hitch when you open a screen for the first time, meet a new mob, or the game cleans up its memory. Hitchless goes after exactly those frames.
Warmup: no more "first time" hitches
In a modpack, the first time something happens in a session, the game has to load its code, and every mod gets to change that code first. That happens on the render thread, in the middle of a frame.
Hitchless notes which code your game needs while you play. At the next start, it loads exactly that code on a low-priority background thread, right after the title screen appears. When play needs it, it is already there.
- Measured in a 168-mod pack: time lost to loading code on the render thread during play dropped from 328 ms to 19–59 ms.
- Code is only loaded, never run early: nothing behaves differently.
- Learns by itself. The first session only learns; every session after that benefits.
Stutter Detective: every hitch gets a cause
Press F7 for a small panel with your usual frame time, FPS, the 1% low, a graph of the last frames (hitches in orange and red) and the cause of the last hitch:
| Cause | What it means |
|---|---|
| Garbage collector | Java paused the game to clean up memory |
| Loading code | Code of the game or a mod was loaded for the first time |
| Opening a screen | Building a menu or inventory screen took long |
| Compiling a shader | A render pipeline was compiled while drawing |
| New chunks / World rendering | The world took longer to draw than usual |
| Queued work (server data) | Handling what the server sent |
| Game tick / Autosave | Game logic, or the singleplayer server saving the world |
| GPU/driver/system | Nothing in the game's own code explains it |
When you leave a world, a report is written to the hitchless folder: frame times, hitches per cause, the 15 worst hitches, which mods' code was loaded during play, and where the render thread creates the most garbage. Great for finding the mod that causes your stutters.
Details
- Client only. Not needed on servers.
- Uses Java's built-in Flight Recorder for the JVM causes (included in normal Java installs). Without it, the panel still works, without garbage collector and code causes.
- Costs about 0.015 ms per frame in a 168-mod pack.
- Settings in
config/hitchless.properties: panel, warmup, report, how big a hitch must be. - The learned list is
config/hitchless/warmup-classes.txt. Delete it to start over.
