LeanCore lowers JVM heap use on Hytale servers. When memory climbs, it cools idle map areas, trims player view distance under pressure, and unloads chunks nobody needs. Tier thresholds adjust from your server's heap history over time.

On local / solo worlds, LeanCore runs profile LITE: a lightweight memory governor with adaptive view-radius, AFK chunk reclaim, and on-by-default demand learning. No governEnabled required on solo. When friends join, profile STANDARD kicks in. Dedicated servers get profile FULL (5s tick). Set embeddedStandardProfile: true for solo local testing of STANDARD governor/learning without full dedicated mode.

Does not touch client FPS or TPS.

Features

Runtime profiles: LITE solo, STANDARD friends, FULL dedicated (localHostMode: AUTO)
LITE solo governor (1.5.0): adaptive view, zone demotion, AFK unload, demand learning; 30s tick (60s when idle)
Heap tiers: COMFORT, WATCH, TIGHT, CRITICAL. Rolls back if a cut causes problems.
Zone dormancy: HOT near players. Empty wilderness steps down WARM, DORMANT, FROZEN on timers you set.
Retention budget: global cap with per-player weight from activity scores
View-radius cuts: throttled when heap or chunk pressure is high (LITE on solo; STANDARD/FULL on multi-player / dedicated)
Chunk unload: drops chunks in frozen/dormant zones when tiers require it; probe gate blocks unload until /leancore probe passes
Learning data: heap windows, policy bandit (STANDARD/FULL), demand model; v7 gzip snapshot with player prune/TTL
LITE learning: demand model shapes view cuts on solo; no bandit or holdout in LITE
Activity Sense: online softmax classifier (MINER, LUMBERJACK, FARMER, BUILDER, FIGHTER, EXPLORER)
Session savings: /leancore savings reports JVM heap peak/baseline/delta, lite or standard governor activity, optional gcHint stats
Dedicated bootstrap: one-time preset on first dedicated boot
Admin HUD (/leancore hud on): small heap/tier overlay. Off by default.
Heatmap, zone pin, LeanCoreAPI, optional CRITICAL webhook

Installation

Download LeanCore from the Files tab
Drop the JAR in your world's mods/ folder (or %AppData%\Hytale\UserData\Mods\ on Windows)
Start the server. Config lands at mods/durkz_LeanCore/LeanCore.json
Run /leancore probe if you rely on chunk unload (LITE or STANDARD/FULL)
Run /leancore memory and /leancore status after a few minutes of uptime

Commands

Main command: /leancore

Recommended

Solo / local: keep localHostMode: AUTO (default). LITE governor and learning are on by default in 1.5.0.
Dedicated or friends: enable governEnabled / learningEnabled / unloadEnabled as needed; run /leancore probe before policy unload.
After upgrading from 1.4.x, existing LeanCore.json is kept; new lite* keys appear on next save. Run /leancore probe again if you use unload.
