About this project
What does Pearl Optimizer add?
Pearl Optimizer
Makes ender pearls feel more instant and responsive on the client side
The server still controls the real pearl, this mod only makes the pearl show faster visually so throwing pearls feels smoother especially when you have ping
Works across 1.21 - 1.21.11 in the same jar (1.21.X)

What it does
When you throw a pearl, Pearl Optimizer shows a client side pearl instantly instead of waiting for the server pearl to appear first.
This helps pearls feel way cleaner on servers, especially if your ping makes throws look delayed or weird.
The mod does not change the server side pearl, does not give extra pearl speed, does not teleport you early, and does not bypass the server. It is only making the visual side feel smoother while the server stays in control of what actually happens.
works simular to my other mods

There is also server opt out support, so servers can disable the pearl optimizer if they do not want players using it on their server.
This mod is client side, but if a server opts out then the optimizer will turn itself off there. just incase people want this but there should be no need to have it really.
if you want the opt out just make a ticket in the discord!
Pearl Optimizer is only a visual responsiveness mod, so don't worry about it changing how pearls actually work server side. Throwing, cooldowns, teleporting, and real pearl behavior are still handled by the server like normal.
