Feature and download guide for Minecraft Marlow's Crystal Optimizer

What does Minecraft Marlow's Crystal Optimizer mod offer?

First, let's explore what end crystals are. They are one of the most dangerous blocks or entities to handle in Minecraft. It is naturally found in the main End island, where the Ender Dragon dwells, but can also be crafted using eye of ender, ghast tear, and seven glass blocks.

Once crafted, it can be placed on an obsidian block and can be interacted with to create a massive explosion, more powerful than a creeper explosion or even the TNT.

Over the years, players have devised methods to quickly place and interact with the end crystals, creating repeated explosions to attack others on multiplayer servers. This technique is most common in anarchy servers like 2b2t, where players have overpowered inventory, filled with end crystals, enchanted golden apples, and totems of undying. In these lobbies, only the end crystal explosions create a noticeable dent in PvP battles.

However, because of server lags, most players are unable to place end crystals quickly enough. This is where Minecraft Marlow's Crystal Optimizer mod comes into play.

This mod allows the crystal handling from the client side, even if it is not updated from the server. This means that if you interact with the end crystal on a multiplayer server, you will not have to wait for the server to remove the crystal and explode it. It will immediately update on your screen since the mod shows the client-side of updates. This will allow you to quickly place another crystal and make it explode as well.

Essentially, your computer can keep sending the game signal of multiple end crystals being exploded rather than exploding one and then waiting for the server update to arrive at your computer.
