Describe the bug horrific performance

To reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. play a mod pack with mod enabled

Expected behavior decent performance

with mod

Which Minecraft versions does this bug affect? 1.20.1

Mod loader Forge

Are you using any resource packs? If so, would you please provide them? Performance with MoreMcmeta is usually dictated by the resource packs you're using more than other mods.

resource packs i use (sorry i did not list them i forgot) Create Re-Created 1.3 Createful Plaques v0.6 Crackers Wither Storm PLUS v4.3 Golden Title Lopy Create Sophisticated Backpacks Lum 5.2 Orders Amulet Two Moons Vanilla Visual Titles xali's Enchanted Books v0.12.0 NewDefault+

Thanks for providing these. I did notice you have Animatica in your mods list. Both MoreMcmeta and Animatica animate textures, so I'm wondering if they are interfering with each other and creating the performance issue. Can you try removing Animatica and see if that fixes the problem while I take a closer look at your mods and resource packs?

[xg787]

i tested without Animatica and the performance is about the same

I'm noticing a fairly significant performance decrease with the CWS Plus and NewDefault resource packs added (from roughly 90-100+ FPS to 40-50 FPS or less on my machine) when a wither storm is active. I don't have any other mods besides Wither Storm and MoreMcmeta.

Can you check whether removing all of your resource packs improves performance? Specifically those two resource packs if you notice an improvement?

Can you also confirm whether you see a performance issue when there is not a wither storm?

[xg787]

when i removed CWS Plus and NewDefault i got 35~ fps with a storm

without any resource packs i get 40~ fps with a storm

with all my resource packs i get a 35~ with no storm

Thanks for confirming. It seems like most of the performance difference is explained by these two resource packs, but there might be another mod in your mod pack that MoreMcmeta isn't performing well with. (It's not a general issue with all mod packs.) I'll need to do some testing with your mods list.

I've done some more testing. Here is what I've found so far:

• New Default has much more impact on performance than CWS Plus.
  • The reason this particular pack has so much more impact than others is that there are many animations of a certain type (called "sprite" or block animations). Because of how Minecraft works, these animations currently require much more frequent updates than entity textures and other types of textures.
• Performance seems significantly worse with the emissive plugin as opposed to just MoreMcmeta core.
• There is still some performance impact from MoreMcmeta core + New Default, though it's not nearly as significant (~115 FPS to ~90-100 FPS on my machine without a wither storm).
  • In the long term, I've wanted to implement a feature that would only update block animations when necessary, which should help alleviate this. Unfortunately, it's not a simple feature to implement and will take some time.
  • I think the performance impact of MoreMcmeta core is most likely OK in the short term.

Can you please test these situations and report what FPS you get?

• include MoreMcmeta core, include Wither Storm mod, include New Default, exclude emissive plugin
• include MoreMcmeta core, include Wither Storm mod, exclude New Default, exclude emissive plugin

I suspect the problem is an interaction between the additional rendering checks from the emissive plugin and all the block updates from the Wither Storm mod.

did some testing with modpack and with resource pack:

with modpack and without resource pack:

only mcmeta, witherstorm, vanilla render and with resource pack:

only mcmeta, witherstorm, vanilla render and without resource pack:

Thanks for the additional info. To clarify, which mods did you remove when you say "vanilla render"? Did you include the emissive plugin in all four cases?

[xg787]

when i mean vanilla render is no embeddium or performence mods of any kind and no i did not have emissive plugin in all cases and in the last 2 cases i only had the wither storm mod and more mc meta core with no other mods
