Dynamic Performance

by nwrenger

Dynamic Performance is a server-side optimization mod that lowers view distance, simulation distance and mob cap when the server tick time climbs, then restores them once it recovers.

What it does

Dynamic Performance watches the server's MSPT, the average milliseconds each tick takes, and compares it with a lag threshold and a recovery threshold. When MSPT stays above the lag threshold for 15 seconds, the mod steps the configured performance levels down. When MSPT drops below the recovery threshold, it steps them back up toward the levels set in the configuration. Values that sit between the two thresholds are left unchanged, so the server is only treated as stable once it has settled.

The mod is listed as vanilla-preserving and lightweight, and it needs Fabric API on every loader. It is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.21 – 26.3 across ten release versions. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. The code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with public links to the source code and issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Dynamic scaling

    View distance, simulation distance and mob cap are adjusted automatically in response to the measured server load.

  2. Scaling down under load

    Performance levels are reduced step by step while MSPT exceeds the lag threshold, and remain at their minimum values if load stays high.

  3. Scaling up on recovery

    Once MSPT falls below the recovery threshold, the mod restores the configured levels in the reverse order.

  4. Extensible configuration

    The thresholds and the performance levels can be set in a config file, and edits apply without restarting the running server.

Questions

Does Dynamic Performance require Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside the mod on the server.

Does a player need the mod to join a server running it?

No. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod.

Which loaders have files for Dynamic Performance?

Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt. The latest Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt files are each 0.2.0 for 1.21.1, published on 2026-09-16.
