Description

FPS Mode Toggle

One key. More FPS. Fully reversible.

FPS Mode Toggle is a lightweight, client-side performance mod. Press F8 to switch your game to a low-graphics profile and freeze animated textures. Press F8 again and your original settings come back exactly as they were.

Minecraft 1.20.1 · Forge 47+ · Client-side only

⚡ What it does when you press F8

Graphics settings

  • Graphics set to Fast
  • Clouds off
  • Entity shadows off
  • Ambient Occlusion (smooth lighting) off
  • Mipmap levels set to 0
  • Biome blend set to 0
  • Entity render distance reduced to 10%
  • VSync off, framerate limit set to unlimited

Particles

  • Particles set to Minimal
  • Large explosion particle effects are removed while the mode is on. This is the visual effect only. Explosion damage and world simulation are not changed.

Animated textures

  • Frame animations in the block and item texture atlases are frozen: water, lava, fire, portals and animated textures from other mods.
  • It works without a resource reload, so there is no loading screen when you press F8.
  • It works on its own. You don’t need Embeddium or any other optimization mod.

🔁 Fully reversible

  • Your original settings are saved to config/fpsmode-original.properties before anything changes.
  • Press F8 again to restore all of them and bring animated textures back.
  • If you close the game while the mode is on, it re-applies itself on the next launch. Press F8 to turn it off.

🛡️ Safe by design

  • Never changes render distance, simulation distance or chunk loading. Your world view stays as you set it.
  • Does not touch world files and does not affect gameplay.
  • Client-side only. It is not needed on servers and can be used on any server.
  • If you update from an older version that changed chunk distances, the old values are restored once automatically.
  • The F8 key can be rebound in Controls → FPS Mode.

📦 Installation

  1. Install Minecraft Java 1.20.1 with Forge 47.x and Java 17.
  2. Put the .jar in your mods folder.
  3. Remove any older version so Forge doesn’t load two copies.
  4. Press F8 in game.

❗ Good to know

  • It lowers rendering load, but it does not change chunk settings, Java memory (heap) or server performance. Memory savings will be modest.
  • Frozen textures stop animated textures only. Entity movement, block entity models and other animated models, such as Create gears, are not affected.
  • Some mod textures may look static while the mode is on.
  • Explosion effects from other mods may still appear if they use different particle types.
  • With VSync off, you may see screen tearing on some monitors. Press F8 again to restore your original setting.
