BetterFps
BetterFps is a Minecraft mod that add a few performance improvements, trying to be compatible with other mods.
If you have two screenshots comparing with and without, PM me.
These screenshots are outdated and many improvements have been implemented since then.
Improvements
All improvements can be enable or disabled in the config file (config/betterfps.json) or in the options menu (Options -> BetterFps Options) (For older versions, press F12 while in game).
Algorithm
Changes sin() and cos() algorithm. There are 7 algorithms. Each one of them may or may not help you, it really depends on the hardware of your computer.
Currently, it's pretty similar from what FpsPlus used to do, but it doesn't edit base classes.
I have plans to expand this, not in more algorithms, but in algorithm generation based on benchmarks.
Affects both client-side and server-side.
Memory Preallocation
Removes a RAM preallocation of 10MB. This allocation was added to prevent players from starting the game with low memory, but this allocation is kept until its almost the memory reaching its limit. This was made just for players using modpacks, where memory might be a problem. If you have enough memory, this is pretty much useless for you.
Only affects client-side.
Fog
Removes the fog. The fog creates a lot of lag, why not add an option to remove it?
Only affects client-side.
Beacon Beam
Removes the transparent layer of the beam. It might help it when there's a lot of beacons.
Experimental - I'm still testing if it actually helps anyone, I might remove it.
Only affects client-side.
Fast Hopper
Hoppers are very unoptimized, they keep checking for items to pickup when there's no need for it. Simply putting a solid full block on top of it stops looking for items to pickup.
Recently, Forge has added the new capability API, which forced me to remove others improvements. I might reimplement them in the future.
Only affects server-side.
Fast Beacon
Beacons are also unoptimized, the code processes stuff that it didn't need to. Not only it was recoded thinking in performance, the code was also organized for processing stuff only when it needs to.
Affects both client-side and server-side.
Fast Search
The creative mode search is really unoptimized, in big modpacks, the pressing any key in the text input would freeze the game by a few moments. This improvement implements a smart search algorithm, reusing old results for new searches. It will also prevent any non-alphadecimal key (such as shift) from updating the search.
It also supports multithreaded/asynchronous searches: they will prevent lag spikes from happening when searching
Only affects client-side.
Installation
Installation for Minecraft Forge
- Find the game installation folder
- Drop the mod file in the mods folder
Note: The mod will not appear in the mod list due to a missing feature in Forge. I've been trying to add this feature to Forge for about as long as this mod exists, but this is up to Forge devs, not me :/
If you want to check if the mod is installed, you can open the options menu, it should have a BetterFps button in there.
Installation for Minecraft Vanilla
- Double click the mod file to open the installer
- Click "Install"
- Change the installation directory, version and profile according to your preferences.
- Open/Restart the Minecraft Launcher
- Play the game :)
Modpacks
You may add this mod to your modpack if I'm credited (Guichaguri) and you link this page.
You can only distribute the mod in modpacks. Do not repost this mod or claim ownership, all versions are only uploaded to CurseForge.
Compatibility
- Optifine: Overwrites Fast Math when the algorithm is not set to "Vanilla"
- Fastcraft: Full
- FpsPlus+: BetterFps will override FpsPlus sine & cosine improvements
If you have issues with this mod, report here.

Posted Apr 3, 2017"Added Fast Creative Search. It should be noticeable in modpacks with lots of items :)"
Please!!!! Make a 1.10.2 version with that feature, please!

Posted Apr 2, 2017Is the options tab available in the 1.3.2 version of this mod? I read the note saying this mod will not appear in the mod list because of a missing forge feature and to check if the options tab appears to see if it installed, but the betterfps options tab doesn't appear. A config file is created in the root Minecraft folder with a line for algorithm so I'm assuming the mod is installing and active (this happens on both client and server). Ultimately I'm really only wanting this for my server and just trying to figure out the algorithm names (would be awesome if this info was just listed in the description on this page) to manually change the algorithm setting in my server config.

Posted Apr 3, 2017Yes, in older versions of the mod, you have to press F12 in-game for the options screen to show up.

Posted Mar 10, 2017This does not seem to remove FPS drops when searching for things in creative mode.

Posted Mar 11, 2017It doesn't "remove" FPS drops, it just helps to not have to drop frames every letter you put in the search bar. I'm thinking about making it multithreaded, it will still take a bit to load, but it will not drop frames.

Posted Feb 18, 2017Sorry that I report a bug here, I don't have a Github account ;-;
There's a bug with the algorithm benchmark, it keeps telling me Java math is the best (it shows about -670 ms, MINUS!)

Posted Feb 18, 2017The number is so big that it overflowed, haha
It will be fixed in the next version :)

Posted Feb 18, 2017So, am I free to use the other algorithms without any problems?

Posted Feb 19, 2017(But how do I change it, if it only gives me an option to use Java Math?)
And also, I installed it on my Optifine profile, but I have a problem. In the installer it tells me the version is 1.11.2_OptifineWhateverVersion_Betterfps, but in the launcher it's just set to use the latest version and I can't see the 'special' BetterFps one.. ;-;

Posted Feb 19, 2017In the game, there is an options screen for BetterFps. It's in Options -> BetterFps Options
It should, not only create a new version, but set the current profile to the BetterFps one.
Are you using the new official launcher or the old one?

Posted Feb 19, 2017Yes, I use the latest (Java) launcher. It creates a new profile, but the version is just vanilla 1.11.2 and there are no Optifine or BetterFps features..

Posted Feb 24, 2017I tried the new version and:
-the benchmark is still bugged out
-it still doesn't work! The profile just uses vanilla (use latest version, to be exact)

Posted Feb 24, 2017I haven't fixed the benchmark bug yet, the installer looks for versions starting with "1.11.2", if you are using OptiFine in 1.11, it will not work.
