A Fabric mod designed to improve server performance at high playercounts. 

**VMP is still in early development and things may break. Please report any issues to our issue tracker.**

## So what is VMP? 

Very Many Players, or VMP for short, is a Fabric mod designed to improve general server performance at high playercount 

**without sacrificing vanilla functionality or behavior**.  

For the best performance it is recommended to use VMP along with [Lithium](https://modrinth.com/mod/lithium).

## How VMP achieves its performance improvements?

*This list may contain features currently unreleased and only found in development builds*

**Server-side game logic performance improvements:**  

- Uses area maps to optimize nearby packet sending and player lookups

- Uses cache to optimize entity trackers, fluid state lookups, ingredient matching and biome lookup

- Optimizes natural spawning with caches and other tricks

- Optimizes entity tracking with area maps

- Optimizes entity iteration for collisions

- Optimizes ticket propagator using MCUtil from the Paper project (patch licensed under MIT)

- Makes initial chunk loading async on player login

- Makes several commands run async **only when issued by a player**

**Client-side game logic performance improvements:**  

- Makes time source to use built-in Java time source instead of GLFW via JNI calls

**Networking performance & responsiveness improvements:**

- Uses our own chunk sending mechanism (optionally with packet-level rate-limiting)

- Adds packet-level per-player render distance

- Makes vanilla tcp connections more responsive using packet priority from raknetify  

  (works best when the server is connected **without reverse proxies such as Velocity and SSH port forwarding**)

- Mitigates several kinds of bot attacks with split event loops and optimizations

**Other improvements:**

- Uses AsyncAppender to improve logging performance and keep logging IO off the main thread

**... and more**
