nullie's FPS Benchmark
by nullie
nullie's FPS Benchmark is a NeoForge utility that runs a standardized, reproducible frame-rate test from the settings menu and writes the result to a report.
What it does
The benchmark runs on the client, and the server needs the mod too, so it is listed as client and server. A player opens the settings menu and presses the Start FPS test button. The test measures real-world performance rather than a synthetic workload, so results reflect how the game renders in normal play. Each run produces two report files: a human-readable HTML page and a machine-readable JSON file, which makes it possible to compare results across Minecraft versions, hardware and settings.
The author notes that other mods which change world generation can break real-world benchmarking, because the test depends on a fixed seed. Shaders are used when taking the test screenshots, so the captures match the Complementary Reimagined look. A Search button opens the reports folder directly from the game. The source code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project keeps a public issue tracker. Files are published for NeoForge only, covering 1.20.6 – 26.2 across 13 release versions, and the latest file is 0.0.1 for 26.2.
Key features

HTML and JSON reports
Each test writes a human-readable HTML file and a machine-readable JSON file for reading or further processing.
Reports folder button
A Search button in the settings menu opens the folder where the report files are saved.
Shader-based screenshots
Test screenshots are taken with shaders enabled, so captures reflect the Complementary Reimagined look.

Use cases
Comparing versions and hardware
The JSON output makes it possible to compare runs across Minecraft versions, hardware and graphics settings.
Checking a modpack
Running the test before and after adding mods shows how a pack changes performance, provided no world-generation mod alters the fixed seed.
Who it’s for: Players who want to measure frame rate in a repeatable way, and modpack authors who need before-and-after numbers for their setup.
