**_A network manager mod for smoother Minecraft connections._**<\/p>\n
**Side:** both (client and server), but the mod impacts on server more<\/p>\n
**Mod loader:** Fabric
\n**Connector support:** I don’t know; some things don’t work exactly as expected.<\/p>\n
**Tested Minecraft versions:** 26.1\u201326.1.1, 1.21.8\u20131.21.11, 1.21\u20131.21.2
\n**Legacy versions:** 1.20\u20131.20.1 (no longer recommended or supported)<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Test results on 1.21.1 Dedicated Server, Client mod included<\/p>\n
### Test 1
\n– **Specs:** Java 21, 1 GB RAM, Tor proxy, playit.gg, 6 piston lag machines, v0.1.1
\n– **Vanilla:** pretty classic lag, chunks load faster
\n– **With mod:** more load compared to vanilla, fewer lagbacks, `\/tp` feels a bit faster, mob behavior is a little more stable, but if things get very laggy it can also make some vanilla bugs easier to do.<\/p>\n
### Test 2
\n– **Specs:** Java 25, 4 GB RAM, Tor proxy, playit.gg, 6 piston lag machines, v0.1.1
\n– **Vanilla:** pretty classic lag, a bit less load, faster chunks
\n– **With mod:** fewer lagbacks, mob behavior feels a little more stable<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## On servers that do **not** have this mod installed (for example, Hypixel SkyBlock)<\/p>\n
– **Specs:** Java 21, Tor proxy, v0.1.1
\n– **Vanilla:** less load
\n– **With mod:** basically no big change, but block breaking \/ final break registration \/ item dropping felt just a tiny bit faster (~150\u2013200 ms)<\/p>\n
Client had **8 GB RAM allocated**.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Honest result<\/p>\n
From testing, the improvement is usually pretty small \u2014 somewhere like **3\u201310%**, and mostly only if:<\/p>\n
– you are **really laggy** (because you live far from where servers were hosted or whatever)
\n– you **hate lagbacks**
\n– server is hosted on a **good enough machine**<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t really have those issues\/things, then the difference is usually **VERY SMALL**, and this mod probably isn\u2019t worth using. But if your friend is from far country and you’re hosting server and both have stable internet, it might help quite a bit.<\/p>\n
Also, this mod does **not** magically save you from every disconnect.
\nIt changes **packet behavior \/ traffic flow**, not the laws of physics.<\/p>\n
A lot of the code after `0.0.2.5` was AI-assisted (around 80% of code), but I still had to fix and finish coding a lot of stuff manually. Why? I’m getting ready for exams, so i’ve got no time to code and maintain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
