Optimize Performance With Refined Dogs Installed

Understanding the Performance Impact

The Refined Dogs pack uses detailed custom models for each breed, which requires more processing power than vanilla wolves. You can expect a performance drop of around 20-30 frames per second depending on how many dogs are visible at once and your system's capabilities.

Tips to Maintain Better Performance

1. Limit active dogs: Keep fewer tamed dogs loaded in your immediate area when possible

2. Adjust render distance: Lowering your render distance reduces the number of detailed dog models being drawn

3. Check mod load order: If you're using animation packs alongside this resource pack, place Refined Dogs higher in your active mod list for better compatibility

4. Monitor other mods: Ensure you're not running too many heavy mods simultaneously

5. Update your drivers: Keep your graphics drivers current for optimal performance

If performance becomes unplayable, consider using fewer dog breeds in your world or temporarily disabling the pack in areas where you keep large packs of dogs. The detailed textures and custom entity models are what cause the frame rate reduction, so this is expected behavior.
