Configuring Idle Mode for AFK Power Saving
If you step away from your computer to run an automated farm or take a break, Dynamic FPS can automatically throttle the game to save energy.
Setting the Idle Timer
Dynamic FPS includes an idle detection system that acts like an automated power saver when no input is detected:
1. Open the Dynamic FPS options menu.
2.
3. Once this timer elapses without mouse movement or key presses, Minecraft switches into idle mode automatically.
Tuning Idle Behavior
While the game is in idle mode, you can apply the same optimizations used for background windows:
- Target Frame Rate: Drop the frame rate down to reduce system power usage while you are away from the keyboard. Setting this to a minimal rate (such as 1 FPS) stops your graphics card from working unnecessarily.
- Audio Control: Lower or silence game volume while idle so ambient mob noises or machine sounds do not play continuously.
- Notification Management: Enable toast notification pausing during idle periods so you do not miss in-game popups.
As soon as you move your mouse or press a key, the mod's fast check loop instantly restores your normal frame rate and audio.
