Advanced FPS Limiter
by RaphyTwin
Advanced FPS Limiter replaces Minecraft's native frame cap with a high-precision limiter that holds an exact target such as 60, 90 or 120 frames per second.
What it does
The mod swaps the game's internal limitDisplayFPS logic for a hybrid waiting loop. It combines glfwWaitEventsTimeout with LockSupport.parkNanos to hit each frame target with near-perfect accuracy without spinning the CPU. Players who find the vanilla cap loose or jittery can lock a specific value and keep frame pacing steady.
Capping the frame rate also reduces GPU workload on systems that would otherwise render far more frames than the monitor displays, which can lower power draw on laptops. The limiter suits recording, benchmarking and any session where repeatable frame timing matters. It runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it.
Installation requires Fabric. The mod is published for Fabric only, across 33 release versions 1.17 – 26.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest file. It is open source under the MIT License and also publishes snapshot builds.
Key features
Exact FPS locking
Caps the frame rate to an exact value chosen by the player, such as 60, 90 or 120 frames per second.
Hybrid waiting loop
Waits on window events and high-resolution sleeps to reach each frame target, rather than busy-waiting on the processor.
Stable frame pacing
Spaces frames evenly so the output feels smoother and less jittery than the default limiter.
Reduced GPU usage
Stops the game from rendering frames beyond the chosen cap, which trims unnecessary graphics work.

Use cases
Reproducible benchmarks
A locked frame target gives recordings and performance tests a fixed timing baseline.
Laptop power saving
Capping frames below the display's refresh rate can reduce power consumption on battery.
Who it’s for: Players who record gameplay, run benchmarks, or want a steady frame rate and lower GPU load on a client.
How it compares
FPS-Sync is a client-side Fabric limiter for 1.20.1 – 26.3, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. NoFramerateLimit is client-side on Fabric for 1.20.2 – 1.20.4 and is open source under the MIT License. Lazy Chunks is also client-side and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, but it is a chunk loading tool for 1.21 – 1.21.4 rather than a frame limiter.
