This mod allows server administrators to configure independent target TPS values for different dimensions, transforming performance optimization from a global slowdown into dimension-based performance management.
Overview
The core idea of this mod is to isolate heavy server load into specific dimensions.
Server owners can create dedicated machine, industrial, or resource dimensions and encourage players to place high-load structures there, such as:
- Large automation systems
- Industrial machines
- Pipe networks
- Mob farms
- Automatic production lines
- High-frequency ticking block entities
The TPS of these dimensions can then be reduced independently, minimizing their impact on commonly used dimensions such as the Overworld, Nether, and End.
Example
/tickrate set minecraft:overworld 20 /tickrate set custom:machine_dimension 10 /tickrate set ad_astra:moon 5
This means:
- Overworld runs at vanilla speed (20 TPS)
- Machine dimension runs at 10 TPS
- Moon runs at 5 TPS
Each dimension is processed independently.
Reducing TPS in one dimension will not affect gameplay smoothness in other dimensions.
Commands
Set dimension TPS
/tickrate set
Value range: 1–20
Examples:
/tickrate set custom:machine_dimension 10 /tickrate set custom:factory_dimension 5
Get dimension TPS
/tickrate get
List all configured dimensions
/tickrate list
Reset dimension TPS
/tickrate reset
Resetting restores vanilla behavior (20 TPS).
What is affected
Lowering a dimension's TPS affects all server-side ticking logic inside that dimension, including:
- Block ticks
- Fluid ticks
- Entity ticks
- Mob AI
- Item updates
- Modded machines
- Automation systems
- Other tick-dependent mechanics
To avoid completely freezing players in slowed dimensions, the mod preserves low-frequency player updates even when full dimension ticks are skipped.
Installation
Minecraft Version: 1.21.1 Loader: NeoForge Installation Target: Server-side
Dedicated servers only require server installation.
For singleplayer or LAN worlds, install on the local client since Minecraft runs an integrated server.
Data Persistence
Dimension TPS settings are stored using world persistent data.
Configured TPS values are automatically preserved after server restart.
Recommended Usage
Recommended setup:
- Keep Overworld, Nether, and End at 20 TPS
- Create dedicated machine or factory dimensions
- Move heavy automation into those dimensions
- Start testing at 15 or 10 TPS
- Adjust gradually based on MSPT and player feedback
Example:
/tickrate set custom:machine_dimension 15
If needed:
/tickrate set custom:machine_dimension 10
Avoid setting extremely low TPS immediately, as machines and farms will noticeably slow down.
Notes
This mod does not increase Minecraft's maximum TPS beyond vanilla's 20 TPS.
It reduces server load by decreasing tick frequency in selected dimensions.
Some mods that rely on high-frequency ticking may behave differently under reduced TPS.
If issues occur, check configuration with:
/tickrate list
Then reset if necessary:
/tickrate reset
