About this project

What does FPS Reducer add?

Description

This mod reduces unnecessary GPU and CPU load by reducing the frame rate automatically when the client window is inactive or you are not operating the Minecraft for a certain period of time (optional from v2.0). As soon as the user performs any operation, it returns to the original frame rate.

Features

  • Reduce FPS automatically under the following conditions.
    • The game window is inactive or minimized.
    • No user operation for the specified time. (Version 2.0 or later requires configuration changes.)
  • Suppress sound volume if the game window is inactive or minimized.
  • Display the current FPS on the screen edge. (Version 2.0 or later requires configuration changes.)

  • Display CPU usage of client thread. (v1.14~)

Recommended in the following cases

  • When leaving the game running without the operation, for example with automated agriculture and/or industry.
  • When doing other work concurrently with running Minecraft in background.
  • When you want to extend the lifespan of your PC even a little.
  • When you want to save unnecessary power.
  • When the room is hot...

Usage

By default, if the game window is inactive or minimized, the frame rate will drop to 10.

Optionally, the frame rate is reduced after a specified period of inactivity. (Version 2.0 or later)

(In the case of Version 1.x, if there is no operation for 5 minutes the frame rate will drop to 10 by default.)

Pressing [PAUSE] key reduces FPS manually. (new feature in v1.16)

Pressing [END] key opens the configuration GUI by default.

Notes

  • This is a client-side mod, so it is not necessary to install it on the server.
  • It will also be available for download from modrinth.
