SBETO (Smart Block-Entity Tick Optimizer)

Smart Block‑Entity Tick Optimizer (SBETO)

Cuts server and client overhead by making block entities tick only when it matters. Hoppers wake on activity and sleep when idle; chest client ticks are skipped when no players are nearby. The result is higher TPS with no changes to vanilla behavior.

How it works

Skip tick when empty and cooldown allows.
Wake briefly on successful transfers, entity collisions, or adjacent inventory updates.
Configurable idle grace period and wake triggers.
Chests (client):
Skip client-side ticks when no player is within a configurable range.
Features

Potentially* Boosts tick performance by avoiding useless block‑entity updates.
Preserves vanilla mechanics and item flow.
Works on servers without clients having the mod; client install optional for minor CPU savings.
Fully configurable, with commands and stats.
