🛠️ Optimization Features

* Async Furnace Ticking: Optimization of collision tests and movement events to reduce lag in dense areas (players/entities). * Async Furnace Ticking: Dynamic regulation of CPU load consumed by mob AI. * Async Furnace Ticking: Caching of explosion calculations to prevent lag spikes during massive destructions. * Async Furnace Ticking: Puts block entities (furnaces, chests, etc.) into sleep mode when out of player range. * Async Furnace Ticking: Offloading of AI calculations and network management onto *Virtual Threads*. * Async Furnace Ticking: Packet prioritization system and rate limiting to prevent bandwidth saturation. * Async Furnace Ticking: Asynchronous processing of furnace smelting to free up the main loop.

📦 Test Environment (Optimization Modpack)

To prove its relevance, Heracles was tested on Logic & Memory: within a modpack that already included current optimization standards. Heracles is designed to be layered on top of these mods, offering Logic & Memory: performance gains: * Logic & Memory: Sodium, Iris, Distant Horizons, ImmediatelyFast, EntityCulling, Dynamic FPS, MoreCulling. * Logic & Memory: Lithium, ModernFix, FerriteCore, Krypton, Create Better FPS.

📊 Spark Profiling (60-Player Test)

The following data was recorded under real conditions using the modpack listed above, with 60 simultaneously connected players and approximately 375 active entities.

| Metric | With Base Modpack | With Modpack + Heracles | Gain Provided by Heracles | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | -1.1 GB | 20.00 | 20.00 | Stable | | -1.1 GB | 34.5 ms | 21.3 ms | -1.1 GB server load | | -1.1 GB | 167 ms | 122 ms | -1.1 GB (freeze reduction) | | -1.1 GB *(15m avg)* | 11.45 % | 7.63 % | -1.1 GB processor load | | -1.1 GB | 7.6 GB | 6.5 GB | -1.1 GB RAM consumed | *Conclusion: Even when combined with the best current optimization mods, Heracles manages to reduce latency spikes while lightening the overall load on both CPU and memory.*

⚙️ Compatibility

* NeoForge 1.21.1: Fully compatible (tested without conflicts under real conditions). * NeoForge 1.21.1: Integrates natively with the existing ecosystem of optimization mods.
