Performance Utility & QoL


PartiCull is a client-side mod that dynamically reduces particle spawn during FPS drops and restores it when performance recovers. In heavy particle scenarios, it can significantly improve both FPS and frame time while keeping normal gameplay visuals mostly intact.

📊 Stats

Scenario Particles FPS (OFF → ON) Frame Time (OFF → ON)
 Ultra Heavy  ~50,000  36.9 → 62.1 (+68%)  27.1 → 16.1 ms (-41%)
 Heavy  ~10,000  54.9 → 75.1 (+37%)  18.2 → 13.3 ms (-27%)

Scenarios explained:

Ultra Heavy — Massive TNT explosions, extreme particle spam, or multiple heavy particle sources stacked together.
Heavy — Exploring the Nether or other particle-dense areas, especially with many ambient effects active at once.
Moderate — Regular gameplay with noticeable weather, smoke, fire, or other overlapping particle sources nearby.
Light — Typical overworld survival gameplay with only light particle activity.
Idle — Standing still in a quiet area with little to no nearby particle activity.


Tested on vanilla Minecraft 1.20.1, no shaders, no other performance mods. Results may vary depending on hardware, settings, and modpack.

What is Frame Time (FT)?
Frame time is how many milliseconds your PC needs to render one frame. Lower is better.
FPS shows the average, but frame time shows actual per-frame responsiveness. For example, dropping from 27.1 ms to 16.1 ms means each frame is rendered much faster, which usually feels smoother and reduces visible stutter.


Why use PartiCull?
PartiCull is designed as a set-it-and-forget-it solution. It helps most when particle count suddenly spikes, without requiring you to constantly switch between vanilla particle settings.

You can still adjust the behavior in the in-game config, including your preferred target FPS and how aggressively the mod should react.

Client-side only
Use it in singleplayer or on any server you join. No server install required.
