Crumb

Crumb is a lightweight Minecraft mod focused on improving everyday gameplay performance and productivity.

It targets small but frequent gameplay systems that can create unnecessary waiting or entity overhead, while keeping Minecraft's normal mechanics intact.

Optimizations

Crumbs focuses on optimizing food and item-related gameplay systems.

The following parts of gameplay are optimized:

• Food consumption
• Dropped item entities
• Food entities
• Large item piles

It also includes targeted gameplay improvements designed to make common survival actions feel faster.

Faster Eating

Crumbs reduces the amount of time required to consume food.

The goal is to make eating feel more responsive without changing the actual food values or hunger mechanics.

• Reduced eating time
• Normal hunger values
• Normal saturation values
• Normal food behavior

This is particularly useful during:

• Survival gameplay
• SMP gameplay
• Long mining sessions
• Exploration
• Farming
• Combat recovery

Item Entity Optimization

Large numbers of dropped items can create unnecessary entity processing, especially around farms, storage areas, and item collection systems.

Crumbs 2.0 reduces unnecessary overhead from item and food entities while preserving normal item behavior.

• Dropped item entities
• Food entities
• Large item piles
• Farm item buildup

The goal is to improve performance without deleting items or changing normal item mechanics.

Performance

Crumb is designed to help most in situations where Minecraft is processing large numbers of relevant entities.

Areas that can benefit include:

• Mob farms
• Item farms
• Storage systems
• Large survival bases
• Busy SMP areas
• Areas with many dropped items

Performance improvements will vary depending on the number of entities being processed and the player's hardware.

Productivity

Crumb is not designed to completely change Minecraft's progression.

Instead, it removes unnecessary waiting and reduces performance overhead from repetitive survival gameplay.

LESS WAITING LESS ENTITY OVERHEAD FASTER GAMEPLAY SMOOTHER FARMS BETTER PRODUCTIVITY

Compatibility

Crumb is designed to work alongside other Minecraft mods while making as few changes to unrelated systems as possible.

The mod is intended for:

• Singleplayer
• Multiplayer
• SMP
• Modded Survival
• Modpacks

Crumb does not require players to completely change how they play Minecraft.

Configuration

Crumb is designed to remain lightweight.

Configuration options can be provided for features where different servers or players may want different behavior.

Potential configurable options include:

• Eating Speed
• Item Optimization

Default settings should prioritize compatibility and normal gameplay behavior.

Gameplay Philosophy

Crumb focuses on small optimizations that add up during normal gameplay.
