Mechanics & Detection

The mod operates during the PRE_LAUNCH and INIT stages of the Minecraft lifecycle. It queries the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for the -Xmx parameter (Maximum Heap Size).

Memory Thresholds

By default, the mod checks if the allocated memory is at least 2GB (2048MB). However, this is fully adjustable via the configuration file to suit the specific needs of different modpacks.

RAM Allocation Guide

Core Features

Load Support Mod focuses on three main pillars of stability and convenience:

• Low Memory Warning: If the mod detects that the allocated Java memory is below the recommended threshold for the current modpack, it triggers a popup. This prevents the game from entering a 'Not Responding' state or crashing with an 'Out of Memory' error later in the loading process.
• Window Blocking: To ensure the player does not miss the memory warning, the mod can block the game window or force focus, making the diagnostic information impossible to ignore.
• Loading Completion Sound: Large modpacks can take several minutes to load. This mod plays a customizable sound effect once the main menu is reached, signaling to the player that the game is ready to play.

World Content (Items, Blocks, Mobs)

As a technical utility mod, Load Support Mod does not add traditional world content such as mobs, items, blocks, or biomes. Its impact is entirely on the system level and the user interface during the loading screen.

• Mobs: None. The mod does not modify entity behavior or spawn rates.
• Items: None. There are no tools or materials added to the creative or survival inventories.
• Blocks: None. No new structures or decorative blocks are included.
• Biomes/Dimensions: None. The mod is compatible with all world-generation mods as it does not interfere with terrain generation.
