About this Mod
PaperTweaks
A better-performance replacement for the popular VanillaTweaks datapack collection.
Why use this over datapacks?
Datapacks take advantage of running something called Functions, many of which run every single tick. That is just how they have to work, what this plugin does, is take all the end results of each individual datapack in VanillaTweaks, and make it much more performant.
Where datapacks shine are custom crafting recipes, loot tables, advancements, and lightweight gameplay tweaks that integrate directly into systems vanilla Minecraft already exposes.
How does PaperTweaks work?
Each datapack/module can be individually toggled on/off for complete customization. All modules default to being disabled, so make sure you enable some!
This plugin is still being developed! As such, there are sure to be issues found. The faster someone reports an issue to the issue tracker, the faster it is fixed.
Detailed information about configuration, or module functions, or commands can all be found at the NEW wiki.

Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with PaperTweaks – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if PaperTweaks consumes the most tick time.
