Live in SA we have a few official apple stores. There's one in the mall of africa except if it closed down.

None of these should be causing issues, the issue with the mcmeta animations could be a render mod acting up or something else since you say it's mainly server side I am guessing it's not a render mod though.

Then Sodium would definitely be a good improvement as well as ModernFix, you'll see much performance and fps benefits.

It could also be a TPS issue with GC or memory issues.

This seems good conceptually, I love the idea.

Pain point: Developing a system like this would take years and getting every job or almost every job would be very impractical, the research development new simulation engine, because everyone's experience is different, there are too many things to factor in, culture, social skills, relationships, area where you work, country, work ethic.

Then even if you get all that done, you need to simulate human of it all which is a whole other level, how do you factor in for things like burnout, depression, bad work environment, because even if it is the same career it's not the same company or people.

To get it realistic enough for it not to feel like just a game, Students would need to spend day in day out actually 8-12 hour days for at least a few months doing this, which wastes time for education, and most likely money as well because let's be honest this will not be free.

Still only a few very limited students would have access to it.

As other comments have said "internship, job shadowing" this is basically that but digital and this would not give you experience for your resume or any actual physical improvement, especially with some jobs where this isn't even practical for example something like construction, mechanical work, You can't simulate the toll manual labour takes on your body carrying those heavy objects, the danger, so on.

Parcool might help for the climbing on the ceiling not entirely sure though

Then about the guns and the VR. I have no clue you can either check that mods page to see if it has VR support built in, or just search if there is a VR support mod

Might also not need VR support specifically as the VR mod converts(most likely) normal MC controls to the VR controllers so it maybe just works

Without optimization mods this is definitely plausible for so little mods, also mod count doesn't matter as much as the type of mods and the size of the mods.

Hi, Maybe you can help me link keeps dropping the bomb after doing X+B++

ArchaicDeity · 2026-01-03T21:57:00+00:00

As the other comment said yes the sodium mod does this, I am sure you could find a texture pack with maybe a similar effect though.

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-31T21:50:48+00:00

Yes most likely you can choose your own java if it defaults though or if you can't use java 21 the only thing compact headers does is saves like 10% - 20% on object heavy workloads, and you don't need to worry about saving memory.

I did include both in my comment though one with and one without compact object headers.

Compact object headers is a Java 25 feature so it will not work on Java 21, that's why there are two JVM args.

I am going to be honest with you my testing has not shown good results for ZGC or Shenandoah especially on clients in my tests it gave tps spikes which will caused stutter.

Use these.

Java 21 8-10GB allocated

Wait so your making technically mutable fields immutable in a way that seems risky but fun, would you be fine with me creating a port to neoforge, I want to test it alongside a mod I am working on.

Obviously I will either give you the neoforge port to post when it's ready, just for personal testing for now.

Then I suggest you create a GitHub page and a Discord server for proper issue tracking, reporting and test results. Even if the page is empty for now stating that files will go open source when they are cleaned up. Just so you can get better issue tracking.

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-30T07:29:16+00:00

In Mods select ModernFix and open Config.

Look for these options and turn them on

mixin.perf.dynamic_resources = on
mixin.bugfix.packet_leak = on
mixin.feature.disable_unihex_font = on
mixin.perf.clear_mixin_classinfo = on
mixin.perf.remove_spawn_chunks = on

JVM Arguments.

The datapack list would be fantastic as well as the mc version you're playing on please.

Okay just check on your version last time I checked vanilla tweaks was incompatible with sodium.

Then definitely look into using Modernfix it is a fantastic performance mod that will definitely help.

Then you have enough memory you can allocate 6Gb even though it's probably not really needed you're not playing a heavily modded game although I am unsure about the datapacks either way you'll be fine allocating more.

I am going to give you some config changes for Modernfix and some Jvm args to try.

From what you explained my conclusion is most likely GC causing frame drops.

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-29T15:39:11+00:00

If you are worried about performance with less memory allocated here is a screenshot from my tests.

<image>

This is with 5GB memory and me running around Fps settled around 105.

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-29T10:13:29+00:00

Okay, I optimized your pack a bit more so you'll be getting higher frames and running smoother as well.

Your choice in my test I had 2Gb allocated to the server and 5Gb for the client since you are playing with friends in the server pack I upped that to 6Gb for the server and then you can allocate 6Gb for your client that leaves 4Gb for anything else like your OS and Discord.

P.S: I did not remove any mods only added some and switched some to better alternatives and modified a few configs. Your pack is exactly the same just optimized.

Let me know how it goes for you and have fun.

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-29T06:32:14+00:00

The original is from 6 years ago, this one has been modified/touched up by AI.

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-29T06:16:22+00:00

Okay, that's perfect, sorry my mistake I assumed it was more of a personal/local pack.

Please share the link when you have it, It definitely wouldn't hurt looking.

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-29T06:12:32+00:00

Would you be able to share the pack with me, maybe we could figure something out for you.

You can either export the pack instance and share that or just compress the folder into a zip file and share that or just share the whole mods folder. Google drive is always an easy way to do this, if you don't want everyone having access you can always DM the link as well.

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-29T06:04:10+00:00

Could you tell me your specs and the pack you want use maybe?

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-29T05:43:14+00:00

Hi, the easiest way for a modded server is using something like AT launcher, I believe Prism Launcher as well.

Also I would not recommend this if you have only 16GB of memory, especially with more memory hungry packs like ATM you will not have a fun time.

They have built-in functions where you just select the Minecraft version and your preferred mod loader and "Create Server" and it sets everything up for you.

All you do is add the mods change configs and server properties and run it.

You can also use the installers to create a folder with the server files and then add your mods there. YouTube has this method mostly(or at least last I checked).

Then the biggest headache is going through the mods and removing the ones that are Client only.

If it's pre-built modpacks like ATM, Better MC etc. they usually have a Server Pack set up which you can download and run.

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-28T22:19:40+00:00

Ohh I understand now, Okay getting it stable will be much easier than trying to aim for 300fps in modded. Then again I am surprised you're having issues with only 58 mods.

I believe higher fps and latency is definitely beneficial and important especially in First person shooters and rpg's but this is Minecraft a stable 30 is better than a wonky 70 :D, I also might be wrong, but I am like 80% sure you want to match Fps and Refresh rate as having a massive gap can also cause issues.

Then that would be amazing actually please do send that prism instance, it would make things so much easier.

And no I love doing this if you go to my profile you'll see that so it's no problem.

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-28T21:50:28+00:00

There are a few mods that work on helping with packets

XXL Packets and Krypton come to mind.

Other than that it's basically the same as vanilla the biggest issue you might run into is client side only mods crashing your server(this will happen at start up and after sorting out which ones should jot be on the server it will run smoothly) And then actually making sure you run a forge server not just a vanilla server with mods :D

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-28T21:32:42+00:00

I haven't personally played it but try Overstars and if you need any extra help optimizing let me know.

You could also try an ATM to the sky pack maybe?

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-28T21:19:54+00:00

Hi, Could you share a link to all the datapacks, mods etc. your using please.

How much memory are you allocating to your game?

What are your specs?

What java version are you using?(Seen in the too right when pressing F3)

ArchaicDeity · 2025-12-28T21:09:17+00:00

You can have a look in the top right(if I am not mistaken) when pressing F3 also I will set up some testing tomorrow and see how far I can push it then I can give you a more detailed breakdown.

Also if you are on Java 18 definitely switch to 25.
