Description
♻️ Adaptive Performance Tweaks: Items

Server-side Forge module that keeps TPS/FPS stable by clustering dropped items and XP orbs and by cleaning up garbage entities. Works standalone on the server; clients are optional.
Status ✅
Stable LTS (Long‑Term Support, Classic Forge). Actively maintained and recommended for new Forge modpacks. After 3+ years of development, this Classic line is highly optimized and battle‑tested. Critical fixes and compatibility updates will be provided when needed. 🛠️
Looking for the next‑gen rewrite for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge? ➡️ Check out the new Eco Stack Manager.
If your pack runs fine on Classic Forge, no action is required. 👍
