Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the mod after installing it?
The mod runs automatically once installed—no activation needed. Open your in-game config menu or edit the configuration file at config/geckolib_animation_optimizer-client.toml to adjust settings like animation distances and culling options.
Why are distant mobs still animating smoothly if the mod slows them down?
The mod reduces animation tick rates for far-away mobs, not removes them entirely, so they still move naturally but update less frequently. This keeps performance high without making distant creatures look frozen.
Can I stop specific mobs from being optimized?
Yes—use the whitelist filter in your config file to list mobs that should always animate at full speed, such as mobs you're actively fighting or watching.
What's the difference between blacklist and whitelist?
Blacklist prevents certain mobs from being optimized at all. Whitelist forces only listed mobs to stay optimized while others animate normally—use whitelist to protect important mobs like bosses.
