    • No user operation for the specified time.
    • The game window is inactive or minimized.
  • Suppress sound volume if the game window is inactive or minimized.
  • Display the current FPS on the screen edge.

    CPU usage indication

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 there is no operation for 5 minutes the frame rate will drop to 10.
Pressing [PAUSE] key reduces FPS manually. (new feature in v1.16)
Pressing [END] key opens the configuration GUI by default.
