About this Mod

In the minecraft servers I visit, I often find myself lurking around using Invisibility. However, I also often blow my cover through forgetting to renew said Invisibility.
This mod is a lightweight client-side remedy: it plays a sound (tick sound, configurable) every second for the last ten seconds of the effect. (also configurable)

Frequently Asked Questions

Effect Countdown server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Effect Countdown compatible with fabric?

Effect Countdown officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.5, 1.21.4, 1.21.3. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Effect Countdown – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Effect Countdown consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
