Nova API (NeoForge 1.21.1) # warning this mod will not be updated and or have bug fixes so this mod will most likely be the one causing issues in your modpack.
Key Features
- Chunk streaming & caching – Hot/warm chunk caches with configurable TTLs, per-dimension executors, and batched flushes to reduce churn during exploration or automation. Compression level and codec are configurable for disk and network payloads.
- Async task system – A configurable worker pool (cores − 1 by default) with per-tick application caps and optional timeouts to offload CPU-heavy work without starving the main thread.
- Performance advisor loop – Observes tick spikes, generates mitigation actions, and logs guidance when the tick budget is exceeded.
- Memory-safe region cache – Dimension-aware, TTL-governed cache with eviction to prevent chunk retention leaks.
- Admin/Dev commands –
/novaapi memoryreports heap usage and cache pressure;/novaapi taskssanity-checks the background scheduler. - Analytics & background services – Initializes async chunk streaming, background task scheduler, and safe shutdown hooks on server lifecycle events.
