At a glance
Install in the game only; not needed on the server
FrameGuard is a client-side performance mod made to reduce the stutters and FPS drops that can happen while Minecraft loads chunks as you move around.
Instead of pushing chunk loading as hard as possible, FrameGuard focuses on keeping the game smooth. It adjusts chunk-related work based on your current frame time, movement, and overall game load, so heavy work is less likely to hit all at once.
I mainly made it for those little freezes and FPS cuts that can happen while sprinting, exploring new terrain, or flying with an Elytra.
