Performance and Memory Impact

Performance & Memory Impact

Overview

Stack Size Adjuster is designed for maximum efficiency, zero memory overhead, and zero NBT bloat.

---

⚡ Key Performance Optimizations

1. Primitive Value Storage: Active limits are stored in volatile int primitive fields within StackSizeManager, ensuring $O(1)$ lock-free read access during stack size calculations.
2. Zero NBT Inflation: Unlike custom item mods that inject custom NBT tags to track stack sizes, Stack Size Adjuster hooks directly into vanilla component data (DataComponents.MAX_STACK_SIZE) and ExtraCodecs.intRange(1, Integer.MAX_VALUE). Saved world sizes remain 100% identical to vanilla.
3. No Tick Listeners: The mod executes zero logic in tick loops (EndTick, WorldTick). Code is executed purely on-demand during item queries, command invocations, or container drops.
4. Fast Thread-Safe Overrides: External addon overrides are maintained in a CopyOnWriteArrayList<BiFunction<Item, Integer, Integer>>, providing thread-safe lock-free iteration.
