End Crystal PvP is all about speed — whoever places and detonates crystals faster wins the fight. Marlow's Crystal Optimizer Mod tackles a frustrating delay that most players don't even realize exists: the wait time between breaking a crystal and the server actually removing the entity. By handling crystal removal on the client side instantly, this Fabric mod shaves off precious milliseconds that add up fast during intense crystal combat, especially if you're playing on higher ping connections (90+ ms).
Key Features
- Client-Side Crystal Removal — Breaks End Crystals instantly on your screen without waiting for server confirmation, eliminating visual lag between actions

FAQ
Does Marlow's Crystal Optimizer actually make crystals break faster?
The mod removes the client-side delay that occurs while waiting for the server to confirm a crystal break. Your crystals disappear instantly on screen, which allows you to place and detonate the next crystal sooner. The difference is most noticeable on connections with 90+ ms ping.
Is this mod safe to use on multiplayer servers?
The mod works by handling crystal entity removal on the client side, which is a client-only change. However, server rules vary — always check a server's allowed mod list before using any client-side modification.
Do I need Fabric API to run this mod?
Yes, Marlow's Crystal Optimizer requires both Fabric Loader and Fabric API to be installed. Make sure both are present in your mods folder before launching the game.
