Reducing Resource Usage When Minecraft Is in the Background

Dynamic FPS helps keep your computer cool and quiet by cutting down processing power whenever you are not actively playing.

The mod tracks four distinct window states: active, hovered over, unfocused, and invisible. For each state, you can fine-tune how the game behaves:

Active: Keep this at your standard frame rate and volume for normal gameplay.
Hovered Over: Set intermediate limits for when your cursor hovers over an unfocused window.
Unfocused: Lower your frame rate and game volume when clicking into another application.
Invisible: Minimize resource draw when the window is completely covered or minimized.

Open the mod's configuration menu to adjust each state:

1. Select the unfocused profile and reduce the target frame rate to minimize CPU and GPU strain. You can drop the frame rate as low as 1 FPS.

2. Choose whether to lower or mute game sound volume so background noise does not play over other tasks.

3. Configure toast notifications to pause while unfocused so alerts do not expire unnoticed.

4. For the invisible state, choose to stop rendering entirely when the window is minimized or hidden behind other apps.

The mod cancels unnecessary frames while running a fast check loop, meaning you can tab back into Minecraft instantly without lag or delay.
