Description from the author on Modrinth

Description

This mod reduces unnecessary GPU and CPU load by reducing the frame rate automatically when the client window is inactive or you are not operating the Minecraft for a certain period of time (optional from v2.0). As soon as the user performs any operation, it returns to the original frame rate.

Features

  • Reduce FPS automatically under the following conditions.
  • No user operation for the specified time.
  • The game window is inactive or minimized.
  • Suppress sound volume if the game window is inactive or minimized.
  • Display the current FPS on the screen edge.\
  • Display CPU usage of client thread. (v1.14~)\

Recommended in the following cases

  • When leaving the game running without the operation, for example with automated agriculture and/or industry.
  • When doing other work concurrently with running Minecraft in background.
  • When you want to extend the lifespan of your PC even a little.
  • When you want to save unnecessary power.
  • When the room is hot...

Usage

By default, if there is no operation for 5 minutes the frame rate will drop to 10.\
Pressing [PAUSE] key reduces FPS manually. (new feature in v1.16)\
Pressing [END] key opens the configuration GUI by default.\

Note

This is a client-side mod, so it is not necessary to install it on the server.
