Generator Accelerator (formerly Moonrise Generator Accelerator)

Performance go brrr.

As of 1.5, we've reworked major parts of the mod, so there may be conflicts with other optimization mods such as Moonrise and C2ME. Versions below should be mostly compatible without any major issues.

What is this?

Generator Accelerator is a massive optimization mod featuring many noise and concurrent chunk management optimizations. This mod provides significant performance boost on servers and singleplayer worlds. Instead of many other attempts to recreate another complex system to workaround the whole chunk system, we were using a more invasive approach. We've tried to optimize everything we could touch without breaking most mods by reworking Minecraft worldgen pipelines.

Please note, that this mod is in ALPHA stage of development. Something may break. Something may crash. Here be dragons, do backups.

At the moment of writing, performance boost may vary from the modpack and the user's PC setup. The proper benchmark will appear there a bit later.

Why use this mod?

Moonrise rewrites the chunk system and for many vanilla-like setups its speed is already more than enough.

However, on:
- large modpacks with many worldgen features,
- servers that generate a lot of new terrain,
- aggressive pregen / exploration-heavy gameplay,
- CPU-bound generation scenarios,

…extra parallelism and generator-side optimizations can still provide a noticeable improvement.  
That’s where Moonrise Generator Accelerator comes in!

Ports/Backports?

This project is so huge, so it is very hard to maintain this across Minecraft versions. At the moment, Forge/Fabric 1.20.1 and Fabric/NeoForge 1.21.1 are the only versions/modloaders supported at the moment.

• 1.7.10, 1.12.2 or any other version <1.20.1? No. It will require a lot of work from us to port over these versions.
• 26.1, 1.21.11? The time will see, we'll update the mod when new modding version settles in. We won't be chasing version to spend more time on new features and optimizations. However, some alpha builds may come later just to make sure our codebase is ready for the new LTS modding version.
