Homoium
Homoium is a Forge optimization mod for Minecraft 1.12.2 that targets parts of vanilla that other mods have left alone, and it also patches a coordinate leak tied to the Randar exploit.
What it does
Homoium works on entity AI, minecart collision, math calculations, lag compensation and server hibernation. Its author describes it as another optimization mod for 1.12.2, aimed at vanilla systems that other optimization mods have not touched. The mod requires MixinBooter and ConfigAnyTime, which both must be installed alongside it on Forge.
Because the mod is client and server, both the server and every player need it. Installing it on a server and on clients keeps the optimizations consistent across a session. Its configuration can be changed at any time thanks to the ConfigAnyTime dependency, without restarting the game.
The project is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are publicly linked. Files are published for Forge 1.12.2 only, with 1.0.8 as the latest file, released on 2024-04-29 after a first release on 2024-04-25.
Key features
Entity AI optimization
Reworks the artificial intelligence of entities to reduce the work the server does while they are active.
Minecart collision
Changes how minecarts check collisions, targeting an area of vanilla that other optimization mods leave untouched.
Math calculations
Replaces parts of the game's math handling with optimized routines to cut the per-tick cost of repeated calculations.
Server hibernation and lag compensation
Lets the server hibernate idle parts of the world and adds lag compensation features for smoother play under load.
Coordinate leak fix
Patches the Randar exploit so that it no longer leaks player coordinates to other players.
