Client Side Crystals Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the mod after installing it?
Open your mod settings or config menu in-game and look for the Client Side Crystals option, then toggle it to enabled. The mod will start working immediately without requiring a restart.
Why do crystals still take time to appear even with this mod?
The mod only handles the visual appearance on your client—the server still needs to process and confirm the crystal placement. If you're experiencing delays, it's likely server-side lag rather than a mod issue.
Does this mod work on servers or only single-player?
The mod works on both servers and single-player, but the server doesn't need the mod installed for it to function. Your client will show crystals instantly regardless of whether the server has it.
Can I use this in PvP servers or will I get banned?
This mod is client-side only and doesn't give you unfair advantages—it just makes your client match what the server already knows. Check your specific server's rules, but most servers allow client-side visual mods.
What if crystals aren't showing up instantly for me?
Make sure the mod is actually enabled in your settings, and verify you're placing crystals in valid locations (on bedrock or obsidian in the End). If it's still not working, try disabling conflicting mods or reinstalling.
Does this mod affect my FPS or performance?
The mod has minimal performance impact since it only changes when crystals render visually on your client, not how the game processes them.
Will this mod work with other PvP mods I'm using?
Yes, this mod is designed to work alongside other client-side mods and doesn't conflict with PvP utilities or HUD mods. If you experience issues, check if another mod is overriding crystal rendering.
Does the server see the crystals at the same time I do?
No—your client shows them instantly, but the server processes placement on its own schedule. This is why the crystal might disappear on your screen if the server rejects the placement.
Can I disable this mod for specific servers?
Yes, you can toggle the mod on and off in your settings anytime, or use per-server config options if your mod loader supports them.
What's the difference between this and just having low ping?
Low ping reduces delay, but this mod shows crystals on your client immediately regardless of ping—you'll see them before the server even confirms the placement, giving you instant visual feedback.
