🧪 What is Propane?
Propane is a performance-focused Minecraft optimization mod built to minimize CPU and memory overhead without altering visuals or breaking vanilla mechanics.

It's goal is to serve as a drop-in solution to improve frame stability, reduce latency in heavily changed environments, and help low-end systems run Minecraft smoother.

Unlike more aggressive mods that cut corners, Propane prioritizes accuracy and compatibility, ensuring a seamless gameplay experience.

🚀 Key Features
- Occlusion Culling Enhancements
Only processes what's visible — reduces CPU usage in large builds and underground bases.

- Lazy Tick System for Tile Entities
Dynamically delays updates for non-critical blocks (like hoppers, furnaces, etc.) without affecting behavior.

- Multithreaded Pathfinding
Offloads mob pathfinding to background threads for smoother mob AI in large worlds.

- Memory Leak Patches
Prevents common sources of memory bloat in vanilla and modificated environments.

- Minimal Visual Impact
Keeps Minecraft looking almost the same. Removed particles, clouds and lower chunk rendering in extreme cases.

🔄 Compatibility
Propane is built with Forge (Fabric version planned) and is built to be compatible alongside other server-side mods and some client-side mods.

🎯 Use Cases
- Heavily modded packs

- Survival servers suffering from TPS drops

- Low-end PCs that struggle with chunk ticking or entity lag

- Players who want better performance without visual compromise

💬 Why the name?
Because Propane is a fuel, and it boosts your game! (and because naming performance mods chemicals is very popular)
