FerriteCore

Memory Usage Optimization

This mod aims to significantly reduce Minecraft's memory footprint through various technical approaches. For technical users who wish to delve deeper into the underlying mechanisms, the author has provided separate, advanced technical documentation detailing the changes.

Performance Benchmarks

The specific amount of memory saved depends on the modpack environment you are running. To visualize its effectiveness, we conducted benchmark tests using All Of Fabric 3 (version 2.5.9). The results show a dramatic reduction in RAM usage (heap size) from the original 1,792 MB down to 984 MB. For comparison, running the Hydrogen mod in the same environment resulted in a memory usage of 1,335 MB.

These figures were measured under strictly controlled conditions: generating a world with a fixed seed and recording the statistics after letting it idle for two minutes. The project's display image is a cropped version taken from this specific test scenario.

FAQ

Q: Should I install this on the server side, or only on the client side?

A: It is recommended to install it on both. Although the mod includes some optimizations specifically for the client, it also contains several high-impact optimizations for the server environment. Therefore, to achieve comprehensive performance improvements, you should install this mod on both the client and the server.

Q: Is this mod compatible with other mods?

A: In the vast majority of cases, yes. The only known exception is the Hydrogen mod.

The compatibility details are as follows: For Minecraft versions where Hydrogen is officially supported, all recent versions of FerriteCore are compatible. However, in Minecraft 1.18 and later, the two are no longer compatible. This is because the Hydrogen project has been archived for those versions and is no longer receiving any updates or releases.
