RestMode

When a player goes idle, RestMode detects the absence and switches the client into a rest state. In that state it lowers frame rate, reduces particle and simulation distance, fades game sound out and dims the screen, which cuts the load on the computer while the game stays open. The player can replace the default sleep screen with a custom PNG image, placed in the game folder under the name sleep overlay.png, and set the overlay position, size and opacity.

When the player returns, the original settings are restored automatically, so the game picks up at its normal quality. Timers that control when rest mode starts and how it behaves can be adjusted in game. The mod targets the client only, and the author notes that results depend on hardware, shaders, render distance and other background programs. RestMode runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and is released under a custom license that is not open source.
