Fast Crystal
by gsd
Fast Crystal, a Fabric utility, removes the vanilla placement delay and the client-side entity wait on End Crystals for faster crystal combat.
What it does
Holding right-click normally waits about four ticks between End Crystal placements. Fast Crystal drops that delay on the client, so a crystal can be placed again as soon as the input allows. Hitting an End Crystal also removes it from the client world at once, which frees the same spot for another crystal without waiting for the entity to disappear. Both changes aim to reduce ghost hitboxes during fights.
The mod combines these two changes into a high-speed crystal PvP mode. It is a client-side only utility: the server does not need it, and players join servers without installing anything extra. Fast Crystal is published for Fabric only, for 1.19 – 26.3 across 29 release versions, and the latest file, 1.0.0 for 26.3, dates from 2026-10-14. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Zero placement delay
Removes the vanilla four-tick wait, so crystals can be placed quickly while right-click is held.
Instant client-side removal
Hitting an End Crystal deletes it from the client world immediately, reducing ghost hitbox delays.
Same-spot replacement
Right after a crystal is hit and removed on the client, the spot is free again, so a second one can go down there before the old entity fades.
High-speed crystal PvP
Combines fast placement with instant removal to speed up End Crystal exchanges in player combat.

How it compares
No Crystal Hitbox is another Fabric, client-side only option under the MIT License, published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8. Make My Crystals Faster runs on client and server, is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and covers 1.20 – 26.2, so it needs installing on the server as well. Custom End Crystals is client-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and covers 1.19.2 – 26.1.2.
