Tenite's anchor optimizer

Once a player uses a charged anchor, the mod works out which blocks the blast would destroy. Those blocks are hidden on the client and a placeholder stands in for each, while a packet asks the server to run the blast. When the server returns its updated world, the mod restores the real blocks so the client matches again. The explosion appears without waiting for that reply.

The author says the aim is to imitate how players with higher latency behave, which may keep some anticheats from flagging quicker responses. It is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 26.3 with 17 release versions. It works on either side, and neither needs it. The author took inspiration from Hero's anchor optimizer but describes the code as completely different, since Hero's optimizer treats the anchor's own explosion as a single event.
