CrossTie

🛠️ CrossTie

Comprehensive optimization and compatibility patch Mod for RTM (RealTrainMod) on Minecraft 1.7.10.

📝 Project Overview

CrossTie provides rendering load reduction, update frequency suppression, and compatibility fixes across multiple Mods—such as RTM / NGTLib / MCTE (KaizPatchX), Angelica, Bamboo, IntelliInput, GTNHLib, Hodgepodge, and LiteLoader / Macro / Keybind Mod—all within a single JAR.

💡 Auto-Detection: Target Mods are automatically detected at startup, and corresponding patches are enabled only if they are present.

⚡ What it does

CrossTie solves the following three core problems that occur between RTM-related Mods and performance-enhancing Mods.

1. 🏃 FPS Optimization

• Rendering culling, update frequency suppression, and switching to immediate rendering.

1. ⏳ TPS Optimization

• Thinning updates for Entities and TileEntities.

1. 🤝 Compatibility Fixes

• Resolving display list conflicts between Angelica and RTM.
• Redirecting GL calls.
• Avoiding class loader conflicts between Mods.

🏗️ Architecture

CrossTie features a 3-layer patch mechanism, intervening safely at the appropriate phase.

1. ASM CoreMod (CrossTieCorePlugin)

Runs as an IFMLLoadingPlugin in the earliest phase immediately after Minecraft starts.

• ModDetector: Scans the mods/ folder and automatically detects installed Mods from JAR/ZIP/litemod filenames.
• MinFo Detection + Angelica Auto-Adjustment: If MinFo is detected, it forcibly rewrites B:enableFontRenderer to false in config/angelica-modules.cfg.

2. ASM Class Transformer (CrossTieClassTransformer)

Directly rewrites bytecode during class loading, before the Mixin phase. This completely avoids “loading order issues” and MixinTargetAlreadyLoadedException that Mixins cannot handle.

| Target Class / Method | Content |
| — | — |
| GTNHLib 0.9.x MixinBlock_IconWrapper | Redirects nhlib$getParticleIcon to GtnhLibIconCompat |
| Angelica CTM MixinRenderBlocks | Redirects glass pane icon resolution (e.g., tweakPaneIcons) to AngelicaPaneIconCompat |
| MCPatcher GlassPaneRenderer | Replaces setupIcons with return false |
| Hodgepodge StringPooler$GuavaPooler | Replaces getString(s) with s.intern() (Avoids Guava class loader conflicts) |
| NGTLib/RTM ScriptUtil | Replaces doScript(String) with ScriptUtilFallback.doScript(String) (Support for environments without Nashorn) |
| MacroMod MacroModPermissions | Removes tamperCheck() calls from all methods |
| LiteLoader PermissionsManagerClient | Makes tamperCheck() a no-op |
| SplashProgress$3 (SplashProgress$3) | Injects GL state reset (GL_TEXTURE_2D + glColor4f) via reflection at the start of run() |

3. Mixin (Dynamic Application)

CrossTieMixinPlugin dynamically applies only the necessary Mixins based on the detected installed Mods.
