CrossTie
CrossTie is a Forge patch mod for 1.7.10 that resolves conflicts among RTM and performance-focused mods.
What it does
CrossTie addresses three problems that arise when RTM-related mods run next to performance-focused mods. It applies patches in three layers, each entering at a suitable point in the loading process, and it provides a patch for RealTrainMod on Minecraft 1.7.10 that spans optimization conflicts. The mod works with Compatibility Fixes and relies on Mixin Control, an ASM CoreMod and an ASM Transformer to apply its changes.
The mod's own optimizations cover frame rate and tick rate. Culling of rendering work, reduced update frequency and a switch to immediate rendering target FPS, while thinning updates to entities and tile entities targets TPS. A detailed list of Mixin applications per mod is available behind an expandable section in the project listing. Players need the mod on the client, while the server may skip it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.7.10, with 1.0.0-Alpha14 as the latest file, dated 2026-10-09. The project is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
