Modern Netty
by vdolly
Modern Netty is a Fabric optimization mod that switches the networking transport to io_uring or kqueue for faster results on some systems.
What it does
Modern Netty adds experimental io_uring and kqueue transport support to the networking layer. The transport switch can produce faster results on certain operating systems, and it works on both the client and the server. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.2, and the latest Fabric file targets 26.2.
Key features
