Frequently asked questions

Do I need to turn anything on to make the mod start working?
No, automatic memory cleanup runs in the background as soon as you load into the game. You only need to touch the settings or commands if you want to trigger a sweep yourself or change the default schedule.
What is the command to clear memory manually?
Type `/memorysweep` into the in-game chat and press Enter. This immediately triggers garbage collection to free up unused memory whenever you notice lag building up.
How often does the automatic memory cleanup happen?
By default, the mod runs on a 15-minute time interval and uses a 90% memory usage threshold. You can customize both of these values in the mod's settings if the defaults do not fit your setup.
Will running a memory sweep delete dropped items on the ground or despawn mobs?
No, this mod only clears unused data from your computer's memory and does not remove anything inside your actual Minecraft world. Your dropped items, pets, and farms are completely safe.
