Description

FakeFPS is a lightweight client-side mod that displays realistic-looking fake FPS numbers on your screen. The numbers change dynamically within a configurable range to simulate a smooth gameplay experience — even if your real FPS doesn't agree.

🎮 Perfect For:

🖥 Streamers & YouTubers – make your gameplay look smoother on camera
📸 Cinematic recordings & screenshots – impress with high FPS overlays
🎨 Custom modpacks – add a cool touch to your HUD
🤫 Pranks or aesthetic use – make people wonder how you're running 500 FPS on a potato

⚙️ Features:

HUD Overlay – Displays a fake FPS counter (e.g. [456 FPS]) on screen with smooth, realistic fluctuations. Choose from six positions: top/bottom, left/right, or center.
F3 Debug Screen Override (v1.1.0+) – The F3 menu shows your fake FPS too, in Minecraft's native format. Completely seamless. Toggle it in the config or via command.
Realistic FPS Behavior (v1.1.0+) – FPS drifts naturally toward a target value with occasional micro-dips to simulate chunk loading and GC pauses — much more convincing than random jumps.

In-Game Commands (Minecraft 1.21.11+ only) – Change your settings without touching any files or restarting the game. Full tab-complete support included.

/fakefps min <number> – set minimum FPS (v1.1.0+)
/fakefps max <number> – set maximum FPS (v1.1.0+)
/fakefps position <name> – change HUD position (v1.1.0+)
/fakefps hud <true/false> – toggle HUD on and off (v1.1.1+)
/fakefps f3 <true/false> – toggle F3 override (v1.1.0+)
/fakefps status – show current settings (v1.1.0+)

Config File – All settings are stored in config/fakefpsmod.json. Old config files from v1.0.x are automatically migrated — no manual changes needed.

{ "min_fps": 360, "max_fps": 540, "position": "top_center", "fake_f3": true }

Valid positions: top_left, top_right, top_center, bottom_left, bottom_right, bottom_center

💬 Whether you're going for cinematic perfection or just trolling your friends, FakeFPS gives you total control over how fast your game looks.
