⚡ CPU & Tick Optimization (measured with Spark profiler)

Steady state verified at 20 TPS / ~2.6 ms median. This update targets the real costs:

Entity AI (config-only, no gameplay change)

• AI-Improvements: idle head animation off (remove_look_random), cached look controller on
• Spawn tuning on the 2 biggest outliers only: Foliaath 70→45, Gazelle 40→28 — everything else untouched

Worldgen, Rendering & Particles

• + Noisiumed 3.0.6 (Forge-native worldgen speedup)
• + AsyncParticles 20.1.4.1 (async/GPU particle tick and rendering)
• EntityCulling 96/5 → 128/10 (less CPU spent culling)
• ModernFix: +clear_mixin_classinfo
• Kerria: fastLightTextureUpload on

Combat & Skills

• + Combat Roll 1.3.3 (dodge-roll mechanic, rebindable) — fixes combat_roll:recharge for skill_tree and jewelry
• RuOK FPS HUD on (FPS always visible); ImmediatelyFast already shows FPS/MSPT in F3

GeckoLib animation fixes

• Born in Chaos "-" placeholders fixed (babyskeleton ×2, boneimp, scarletpersecutor) + Elokesa spacing cleanup — zero animation parse failures in log

Measurement & Cleanup

• + Spark 1.10.53 (/spark profiler, /spark tps) — profile before/after included
• Removed: .duplicate jar + orphan configs (c2me, canary, lithium, DistantHorizons)

🖥️ Recommended setup for this update

• RAM: 6 GB allocated (8 GB PC) or 8 GB (16 GB PC) — do not allocate it all
• JVM flags: -Xms8G -Xmx8G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 (adjust size to your RAM)
• Close background apps (browsers, Discord, launchers) — a full system RAM causes the biggest freezes

⚠️ Known Issues

1. GeckoLib animations — Saint's Dragons / Myths & Legends have broken animations (visual only, no crash)
2. Skill Tree: 3 skill bonuses inactive (critical_strike:chance has no provider yet — game runs fine)
3. FancyMenu resource errors — Cosmetic, no gameplay impact
4. StructureEssentials — "Non-unique structure_set salt" (pre-existing, occasional overlapping structures)
5. Biome stability — Oh The Biomes packs may conflict with Terralith generation
6. FPS impact — 237 active mods — 6–8 GB RAM recommended
