🔥 FramePacer - Stable FPS without jitters! 🔥

Ever noticed stuttering when using an FPS cap?

You're not imagining it — those are frame time jitters!

FramePacer aims to fix this!

📊 Benchmarks 📊

The vanilla frame limiter in versions <=1.21.11 puts the thread to sleep, but due to OS timer resolution limitations, this introduces timing inaccuracies, resulting in unstable frame times.

vanilla_1.21.11_test

#frame drops are visible here.

In versions >=26.1, developers attempted to fix the limiter by switching to a hybrid approach.

However, the vanilla implementation introduces excessive architectural complexity, which can still lead to timing imprecision.

vanilla_26.2_test

#Frame drops became less visible, but it still not disappear on my test.

FramePacer uses a lightweight, optimized hybrid sleep algorithm to improve frame limiting precision.

mod_26.2_test

#Testing on 26.2 + FramePacer shows smoother framerate.

❓ Benchmark Notes ❓

Tests were conducted using Fabric + Sodium. Sodium does not alter frame-limiting methods and eliminates game-specific variables.
Tests were performed in an empty world to isolate the limiter's performance from gameplay overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does FramePacer need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks FramePacer as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does FramePacer require?

Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.4-snapshot-3, 26.4-snapshot-2, 26.4-snapshot-1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

FramePacer is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
