Structure DFU Cache

Structure DFU Cache

Moves repetitive structure DataFixerUpper (DFU) migration to the startup phase and caches the result to improve TPS during heavy chunk loading.

How it works

• Uniformly parses server structure resources during game startup or reload.
• Provides and caches processed structures through a vanilla-compatible resource pack layer.

Configuration

Starting in 1.2.0, processing limits can be configured in config/structure_dfu_cache.toml and are loaded on game startup (restart the game after editing):

# Maximum decoded NBT memory quota in MiB (tracks NBT decoder accounting of NBT objects and allocation overhead)
maxDecodedNbtMiB = 1024

# Maximum compressed structure resource size in MiB
maxCompressedResourceMiB = 64

• Both options must be positive integers in MiB.
• maxDecodedNbtMiB tracks the NBT decoder’s accounting of in-memory NBT objects and allocation overhead during processing (does not measure total DFU memory).
• Worker concurrency is estimated based on available heap after deducting resident memory and a 2 GiB reserve, budgeting roughly 4x maxDecodedNbtMiB per worker (capped at 4 threads, leaving 1 CPU core free when more than 1 core is available). Higher quota values reduce parallel workers to allocate more headroom for conversion.
• When compressed resource size exceeds maxCompressedResourceMiB, startup pre-processing is skipped and handed back to vanilla structure reading. When decoded NBT exceeds maxDecodedNbtMiB or conversion fails, raw compressed bytes are cached as unoptimized resources and retried during subsequent load or reload.
