Mem Leak Fix GPU

by alchemyyy

Mem Leak Fix GPU is a NeoForge client optimization that frees GPU memory held by render targets the game no longer uses.

NeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Mem Leak Fix GPU looks for stale render targets and releases their framebuffers, so the video memory they occupy becomes available again. Texture framebuffer ids that belong to finalized render targets are queued first, and the actual deletion happens later on the client thread across subsequent ticks. Each cleanup pass is limited in how much work it does at once, which keeps individual frames from stalling.

The fix targets a GPU memory leak in which render targets were never released after use. Because the mod only runs on the client, a dedicated server needs nothing installed, and singleplayer or multiplayer clients install it alone. Its source code and issue tracker are public, and the mod is released under the MIT License, so it is open source.

Key features

  1. Stale render target cleanup

    Render targets that are no longer in use are found and released, returning their VRAM to the game.

  2. Deferred framebuffer deletion

    Texture framebuffer ids are queued and deleted on the client thread over later ticks rather than all at once.

  3. Capped cleanup passes

    Each cleanup pass handles a limited amount of work, so one pass does not cause a large frame hitch.

Long play sessions

Who it’s for: Players on NeoForge 1.21.1 whose video memory fills up during long sessions. Only the client needs the mod, so server owners do not have to add it.
