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 โ€” even if your real FPS doesn't agree.

๐ŸŽฎ Perfect For:

  • ๐Ÿ–ฅ Streamers & YouTubers โ€“ make your gameplay look smoother on camera
  • ๐Ÿ“ธย Cinematic recordings & screenshots โ€“ impress with high FPS overlays
  • ๐ŸŽจย Custom modpacks โ€“ add a cool touch to your HUD
  • ๐Ÿคซย Pranks or aesthetic use โ€“ make people wonder how you're running 500 FPS on a potato

โš™๏ธ Features:

  • HUD Overlay โ€“ 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+) โ€“ 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+) โ€“ FPS drifts naturally toward a target value with occasional micro-dips to simulate chunk loading and GC pauses โ€” much more convincing than random jumps.

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

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

Config File โ€“ All settings are stored in config/fakefpsmod.json. Old config files from v1.0.x are automatically migrated โ€” 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

๐Ÿ’ฌ Whether you're going for cinematic perfection or just trolling your friends, FakeFPS gives you total control over how fast your game looks.
