About this Mod

This mod enhances network efficiency by providing control over packet compression levels.

This mod offers further optimization by allowing you to adjust the packet compression level. This capability can potentially reduce CPU load at the very slight cost of some network bandwidth, given everything is configured correctly. Servers with large player counts can particularly benefit from this customization.

While this mod is designed for servers, this mod can technically run client-side, however running it client-sided isn't recommended as this mod does have the slight potential of triggering anti-cheats as this mod does "modify packets" in a way.

That being said this mod can be run completely server-side and vanilla clients can join thanks to how minecraft's network compression works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Enhanced Packet Compression 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 (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Enhanced Packet Compression compatible with fabric and neoforge?

Enhanced Packet Compression officially supports fabric, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.6. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Enhanced Packet Compression – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Enhanced Packet Compression 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.
