Blindspot
by Cheter0410
Blindspot is a Fabric client optimization that caches the friends list, scoreboard sidebar and tab list instead of rebuilding them every frame.
What it does
The mod targets several small client-side performance costs that vanilla recalculates repeatedly. For the friends list, Blindspot keeps the result and only recomputes when vanilla stores new friend data. For the scoreboard sidebar and the tab list, it keeps the sorted entries so the game rebuilds them only when a player is added or removed, a game mode or team membership changes, or a displayed objective changes.
Blindspot pairs each cached scoreboard list with version counters that rise when a score is created, altered or deleted, and when a player switches teams, which keeps the stored data from falling out of date. The mod is Client-side only, so servers and players without it are unaffected. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Files exist for Fabric, 26.1 – 26.3, and Fabric Loader 0.19.5 is the loader it is built against.
Key features
Friends list caching
The friends list is stored and only rebuilt when vanilla receives new friend data, instead of on every call.
Scoreboard sidebar caching
Sorted sidebar entries are kept and reused, so the sidebar is not rescanned and resorted each frame.
Tab list caching
The player order in the tab list is cached and rebuilt only when players join, leave or change game mode or team.
Vanilla output preserved
The final filtered, sorted and limited list is handed back to vanilla's pipeline unchanged, so the displayed result stays the same.
Compatibility

A Minecraft Fabric mod aiming to fix small, overlooked client-side performance issues that larger optimization mods don't cover. The friends list optimization isn't part of the 26.1 version, because Minecraft 26.1 has no friends list.
