About
Adaptive Optimization aims to improve Minecraft performance by adapting to the workload running in the current game, rather than relying only on a fixed list of tweaks. It observes and attributes work across vanilla Minecraft, individual mods and subsystems, including rendering, chunk activity, pathfinding, networking, entities, and server-side ticking, while also tracking CPU and memory pressure. Its profiling can distinguish persistent, emerging, sporadic, and disappearing workloads, and its server tick measurements help identify tick instability, workload spikes, and simulation slowdowns. The mod measures candidate optimizations against before-and-after performance and recovery periods, and can mark results inconclusive when changes in the world or workload make a fair comparison unreliable. It is designed for modded environments and broader gameplay stability, with the goal of improving consistent frame times, tick behavior, responsiveness, and stutter rather than chasing peak FPS alone. Adaptive Optimization can retain useful information between sessions, while its longer-term development aims to make its optimization strategies more autonomous and better informed by measured results.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Uses folders outside the game
- It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: your user folder.
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 8 files in your config folder.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. No web address is written in its code. See Privacy
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
AI
AI was used to make it
The author writes that AI was used.
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Found40 changelogs read
