Papi Optimization

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Adaptive all-in-one performance mod: smart entity & sound culling, mob AI throttling, leaf culling and dynamic settings that react to your FPS in real…

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

PapiOptimization

PapiOptimization is an adaptive, zero-config performance mod for Forge. Unlike most optimization mods that apply the same static tweaks all the time, PapiOptimization monitors your FPS in real time and automatically scales its optimizations up or down — staying invisible when your game runs smoothly and stepping in aggressively when frames start to drop.

Install it and forget it. No config files, no setup, no commands.

⚙️ How it works

The mod tracks your smoothed FPS and switches between three optimization levels:

Level When What happens
🟢 Normal 60+ FPS Light optimizations only, full visual quality
🟡 Medium 30–60 FPS Moderate culling, reduced particles
🔴 Aggressive below 30 FPS Maximum optimizations to recover playable framerates

When your FPS recovers, everything (render distance, particles) is restored back to your original settings — the mod never permanently overrides your options.

✨ Features

🎯 Smart Entity Culling

Entities hidden behind walls are skipped from rendering using budgeted raycasts (no stutter from the checks themselves). Entities outside your field of view are culled too. Big FPS gains in mob farms, villages and caves.

📦 Block Entity Culling

Chests, barrels, furnaces and other block entities behind walls aren't rendered. Massive help in storage rooms and warehouses.

🌲 Fast Leaves

Leaf faces touching other leaves are not rendered — dramatically fewer faces in forests and jungles, where vanilla FPS usually tanks.

🐷 Distance-Based Mob LOD

When many mobs are on screen, far-away mobs are progressively hidden based on distance, keeping crowded areas (farms, raids) smooth.

🧠 Server-Side Mob AI Throttling

Mobs far from any player run their AI at reduced rates (down to 5% for very distant ones), smoothly scaling back to 100% as players approach. Mobs near you always behave completely normally. Works on servers and in singleplayer — reduces TPS lag from large mob counts.

🔇 Sound Culling

Distant hostile/neutral mob sounds that you'd barely hear anyway are skipped, reducing sound engine overhead.

🔭 Dynamic Render Distance

When FPS drops hard, render distance is gradually lowered; when performance recovers, it's gradually restored to your chosen value. Automatically disables itself if Voxy or Distant Horizons is installed to avoid conflicts.

✨ Adaptive Particles

Particle density is temporarily reduced under heavy load and restored when FPS is back to normal.
