MemGuard

Smart RAM control for modded Minecraft.
Less stutter. Fewer freeze spikes. Better long-session stability.

Why Players Install MemGuard

• Stabilizes memory usage in big modpacks and long play sessions.
• Cuts duplicate NBT string allocations to reduce RAM pressure.
• Adds memory warnings before your session becomes unstable.
• Runs safely with standard loader/JVM APIs (no native hooks).

Feature Highlights

Periodic GC Assist
Triggers safe periodic cleanup to limit long-session memory buildup. NBT String Dedup Cache

Compatibility Notes

• Known good with FerriteCore and AllTheLeaks.
• If logs mention missing Create classes, verify Create and Create addons are on the same update line (Update 5 with Update 5 addons, or Update 6 with Update 6 addons).
• That Create class mismatch is usually not caused by MemGuard itself.

Quick Install

1. Install the correct loader for your Minecraft version.
2. Use Java 21+.
3. Put MemGuard.jar in your mods folder.
4. Start the game and check latest.log for [MemGuard] entries.

Build smoother modpacks, not restart loops.
Use MemGuard when your world is big and your sessions are long.
