Memory Leak Fix
by FX
Memory Leak Fix targets random memory leaks that build up during play, and it applies on the client, the server or both.
What it does
The mod patches memory leaks that accumulate over long sessions, and its author describes the fixes as working on both the client and the server. Because it only addresses leaks, it does not replace general optimization mods; the author suggests pairing it with a set of performance mods, which are named on the project page but not part of this entry.
Either side can run it, and neither needs it. The mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files target 1.14.4 – 1.20.4 on Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with snapshot builds also published, and the latest file for each loader is v1.1.5 for 1.20.4, dated 2024-01-06.
