Perf Boost
Perf Boost is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.10 that adds a toggleable performance HUD (FPS, RAM, CPU, ping, etc.) and an optional performance mode.
Quick answer
Which Perf Boost release should I use?
Perf Boost 1.0.0 targets 1.21.10 with Fabric. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Perf Boost required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does Perf Boost 1.0.0 need?
1.0.0. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.
Before you install it

About this project
What does Perf Boost add?
What this mod does
Perf Boost adds a stats HUD in the top-right (toggle with P) showing FPS, frame time, RAM usage, entity and chunk counts, ping in multiplayer, and CPU usage/temperature when available. It also adds performance mode (toggle with O): when enabled, the mod temporarily lowers your graphics settings to improve FPS, and restores them when you turn it off.
What performance mode changes
When you turn performance mode on, the mod temporarily applies:
- Graphics → Fast | Particles → Minimal (and caps active particles at 2,000) | Render distance → 8 chunks | Simulation distance → 6 chunks | Entity distance scaling → 0.5 | Ambient occlusion → off | Entity shadows → off | Biome blend → 0
When you turn it off, your previous settings are restored. Nothing is written to your options file; it only affects the current session.
Why use it
- See FPS and system stats at a glance without leaving the game.
- Get a quick FPS boost in busy areas (e.g. lots of entities or particles) by pressing O; turn it off when you leave.
- Keybinds (P and O by default) are rebindable under Perf Boost in Options → Controls.
