Android Optimizer

Android Optimizer is a client-side mod designed to improve Minecraft performance specifically when running on ARM64-based Android devices (e.g., via PojavLauncher or Amethyst).

How it works

This mod includes detection logic to identify if the game is running on an ARM64 Android environment. When detected, it applies various optimizations tailored to mobile SoCs and Android’s memory management constraints.

Key Features

  • ARM64 Detection: Automatically enables mobile-specific optimizations only when running on Android.
  • SoC-Targeted Profiles: Includes optional, predefined configurations for various Snapdragon and other mobile chipsets to help balance render distance and frame rates.
  • Memory Management: Implements a watchdog mechanism to monitor RAM usage, assisting in preventing excessive garbage collection (GC) spikes and reducing the likelihood of app termination by the Android system.
  • Client-Side Resource Reduction: Offers tweaks to reduce CPU/GPU load, such as limiting chunk updates per frame, modifying entity animation updates, and toggling decorative effects like rain or particles.

Configuration

Users can customize the behavior of the mod via the configuration file located at: config/androidopt-client.toml.

Compatibility & Recommendations

  • Loaders: Developed for NeoForge.
  • Recommended Additions: Works best alongside performance mods such as ModernFix and FerriteCore.

Disclaimer

  • This mod is currently under development. Please report any bugs, crashes, or feedback via the issue tracker.
  • Performance gains may vary significantly depending on your specific device, Android version, and the modpack being used.
