Install APTweaks 12.x via the (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/adaptive-performance-tweaks) or (https://modrinth.com/mod/adaptive-performance-tweaks) launcher. Manual install: download the jar for your loader from one of those pages and place it in `mods/`. 3. Start the game, world, or server once. 4. Review the generated files in `config/adaptive_performance_tweaks/`. 5. Leave defaults on for a first test run before tuning anything. 6. If you run a larger server, review spawn limits early. The fallback spawn defaults are tuned for about 4 players. Spawn presets are loaded from: - `config/adaptive_performance_tweaks/spawn_presets/` - `data/<namespace>/aptweaks/spawn_presets/` If you want to customize presets, start with the templates and examples in (https://github.com/MarkusBordihn/BOs-Adaptive-Performance-Tweaks/wiki/SpawnPresets). ## Feature overview 🧩 | Feature | What it does | |---------------------|--------------

Adaptive Performance Tweaks is a server-side optimization mod for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge. It watches Minecraft's server-side load and adjusts selected systems automatically to reduce lag pressure on dedicated servers, single-player worlds, and LAN-open worlds.

That means APTweaks is not only for public or dedicated servers. It can also help in normal client worlds, because single-player and LAN sessions still run the same server-side systems for spawning, ticking, gamerules, items, XP orbs, and simulation distance.

Instead of asking you to assemble separate modules, 12.x bundles the major feature groups in one mod:

  • Spawn control and spawn presets
  • Game rule adaptation
  • Item, XP orb, and arrow cleanup
  • Player login and beginner protection
  • Adaptive simulation distance with movement-aware throttling
  • Optional advanced throttles for AI, chunk generation, and view distance
  • Monitoring and benchmarking tools

## 🎥 Introduction and Overview Video

## What APTweaks is good at ✨

APTweaks helps most when performance problems are caused by:

  • too many mobs or repeated spawn attempts
  • large amounts of dropped items, XP orbs, or stuck arrows
  • overloaded exploration and chunk generation
  • worlds or servers that need softer automatic reactions instead of permanent hard limits

APTweaks is especially useful for:

  • dedicated servers that need adaptive protection under changing player load
  • modpacks with heavy entity pressure
  • single-player worlds with farms, exploration, or too much dropped loot
  • LAN worlds where the host machine struggles with the integrated server load

It is less helpful for issues that come mainly from:

  • heavy redstone or machine logic
  • one specific broken mod or entity
  • world corruption or storage bottlenecks

## Quick start 🚀

1. Remove any old 11.x APTweaks jars from `mods/`. 2. Install APTweaks 12.x via the (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/adaptive-performance-tweaks) or (https://modrinth.com/mod/adaptive-performance-tweaks) launcher. Manual install: download the jar for your loader from one of those pages and place it in `mods/`. 3. Start the game, world, or server once. 4. Review the generated files in `config/adaptive_performance_tweaks/`. 5. Leave defaults on for a first test run before tuning anything. 6. If you run a larger server, review spawn limits early. The fallback spawn defaults are tuned for about 4 players.

Spawn presets are loaded from:

  • `config/adaptive_performance_tweaks/spawn_presets/`
  • `data//aptweaks/spawn_presets/`

If you want to customize presets, start with the templates and examples in (https://github.com/MarkusBordihn/BOs-Adaptive-Performance-Tweaks/wiki/SpawnPresets).
