Description

Warning

I do not provide any guarantees about Krypton's stability, compatibility with other mods, or support for every possible setup out there.

Support for this mod is provided on a "best-effort" basis.

I have held down a very demanding job since November 2021. I consider this mod to be effectively feature-stable and will generally only provide updates for new Minecraft versions on an as-needed basis, based on my personal availability.

Don't ask if you can adopt this mod. I've done this few times before. It has not gone well, so don't ask.

What's Krypton?

Krypton (from Ancient Greek kryptos, "the hidden one") is a Fabric mod that attempts to optimize the Minecraft networking stack. It derives from work done in the Velocity and Tuinity projects.

Krypton contains several optimizations, including:

  • Highly optimized Netty handlers derived from the Velocity proxy, which I am the developer of. These handlers have sen real-world usage and extensive profiling, and strategically deploy native code where it makes the most sense.
  • Flush consolidation to lower server CPU usage (and reducing the impact from hardware security vulnerabilities which exploit speculative execution) and lower server tick times.
  • Micro-optimizations to reduce memory usage and improve packet serialization speeds.

Please join my Discord to discuss the mod or get support.

Compatibility

Krypton should work anywhere where a Minecraft can run — naturally, however, it is tuned for Linux.

I try to ensure that Krypton will work with the Fabric API, Lithium, and Sodium. Support beyond these mods is provided on a best effort basis.
