BatteryCraft

BatteryCraft beta.5 gives you more control over battery profiles: lower FPS caps stay lower, and detected manual graphics edits are preserved.

Lower FPS caps stay lower

• Profiles now use the lower of your original Minecraft cap and their configured cap by default. Original 60 + profile 120 → 60 FPS cap.
• Enable Allow profiles to raise the FPS cap to explicitly permit a higher cap. Available in Sodium General settings and the fallback configuration window, in English and Spanish.
• A profile cap of 0 retains your original cap. Detected manual FPS edits still take priority.

Your manual changes are protected

• BatteryCraft tracks each managed setting separately, comparing its current value with the last value applied by the mod.
• Detected edits remain under your control through battery, low-battery and critical-battery transitions and reconnection. Untouched settings continue to follow profiles and restore normally.
• Reconnecting in Automatic mode or disabling saving ends the saving session. Your retained settings become the baseline for the next session.

Recovery and upgrades

• Recovery snapshots now store original values, last-applied values and detected manual overrides, protecting saved edits after an unexpected close.
• Existing beta.4 recovery snapshots remain readable.
• Configuration migration preserves custom profiles and notification preferences.
• Profile-change messages no longer display a requested cap as if it were the effective FPS cap.

Four Minecraft builds

macOS, client-side only. Install Fabric API matching your Minecraft version. A compatible Sodium Config API enables the native menu; otherwise the fallback window and configurable B/O shortcuts remain available.

Validation

• 32 automated tests passed, covering lower caps, explicit opt-in, manual edits, profile transitions, fresh sessions, crash recovery, legacy snapshots and named/intermediary option access. Native-menu regression tests use Sodium 0.8.12's real builders.
• All four JARs were built and checked for version metadata, Java bytecode, translations and ZIP integrity.
• The maintainer reported a successful in-game test on Minecraft 26.3. Exact patch and dependency versions were not recorded in that report. Specific beta.5 in-game validation for 1.21.x, 26.1.x and 26.2.x remains pending.
• FPS and battery-life improvements have not been benchmarked. A cap is not a guaranteed frame rate.

Installation and detection limits

Close Minecraft and replace the previous BatteryCraft JAR with the file for your version; avoid duplicate installations.

Detection requires a value different from the last applied value, including changes made by other mods. Same-value edits or edits reverted before the next application/restoration cannot be distinguished. Unsaved Minecraft edits cannot be recovered after restarting. Legacy beta.4 snapshots lack the last-applied values needed to identify edits made before upgrading.
