Calm The Leaks Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start using Calm The Leaks after installing it?
Launch your world and use `/ctl status` to see the current memory state and any active leak tracking. The mod automatically begins filtering All The Leaks reports in the background, so you'll only see real leak alerts instead of startup noise.
What's the difference between a real leak and a false positive?
Real leaks grow steadily over time as memory usage climbs without being released; false positives are temporary spikes that stabilize (like chunks loading during startup). Calm The Leaks filters out these false alarms and shows you only the leaks that actually matter.
How do I find out which mod is causing a memory leak?
Use `/ctl leaks` to see a list of suspected leaks with confidence levels and the mods most likely responsible. The mod analyzes leak patterns to narrow down culprits, though you can also use `/ctl explain [leak name]` for deeper details.
Can I see how fast a memory leak is growing?
Yes—Calm The Leaks tracks leak growth trends over time and displays them in the status panel, so you can see whether a leak is accelerating, stable, or slowing down.
What does the confidence level mean?
Confidence is a measure of how certain the mod is that a reported leak is real and not a false positive; higher confidence means the leak is more likely genuine and worth investigating.
Does Calm The Leaks require All The Leaks to work?
Yes, Calm The Leaks is a companion mod designed to work alongside All The Leaks; it intercepts and filters ATL's reports, so you need both mods installed.
What happens when I use /ctl explain on a leak?
The command provides a detailed explanation of why the leak was flagged, what data supports it, and which mods are suspected—helping you understand whether it's safe to ignore or needs fixing.
Can Calm The Leaks automatically run a Spark profile for me?
Yes, the mod can auto-trigger Spark profiling sessions when it detects a high-confidence leak, giving you deeper diagnostic data without manual intervention.
Will Calm The Leaks slow down my game?
No, the mod is designed to be lightweight and runs passively in the background, filtering reports without adding noticeable overhead to your frame rate or tick time.
What should I do if I see a leak I don't recognize?
Check the confidence level and use `/ctl explain` to understand the details; if confidence is high, try disabling mods one at a time to isolate the culprit, or share the leak details with the mod author for investigation.
