Clumps in All the Mods 11

Clumps is a small performance mod. When lots of XP orbs pile up in one small area, it groups them into a single entity, which cuts down the lag. Mob farms and big XP machines are where you'll see the benefit.^[1]

It also changes how you pick orbs up. As soon as an orb touches you, you collect it immediately, so you don't end up with a swarm of orbs floating in your face.^[1]

Version and installation

This pack includes Clumps 26.1.2.1, the NeoForge build. It has been in the pack since version 0.0.21 or earlier.^[2]

On Minecraft 1.17 or newer, Clumps only needs to be installed on the server side. Older Minecraft versions need it on both sides.^[1]

Where it sits in the quest book

Unverified The sources here do not show any quest chapter, group or ATM Star path entry for Clumps, so there is no quest placement to point you to. Nothing in the sources here suggests you need to do anything to use it.

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide

Good news: Clumps doesn't ask you to craft anything or set anything up. It works in the background from the moment you load in, so there's no first item to make and no recipe to follow.^[1]

What it does is group XP orbs together into a single entity. That cuts lag when lots of orbs pile up in a small area, for example around a big mob farm.^[1]

It also changes how XP feels to pick up. The player collects orbs immediately once they touch you, so you aren't stuck with a bunch of orbs in your face.^[1]

Server or client?

If you run your own server, the mod's project page says that for Minecraft 1.17 or newer it is only required on the server side. Older Minecraft versions need it on both sides.^[1]

Unverified Whether this pack changes any Clumps behaviour is not confirmed by the available sources.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Clumps is a much simpler mod than the machine and multiblock mods you'll find elsewhere in the pack. It has no machines, no power, no fluids and nothing to automate. It works quietly in the background on one thing: XP orbs.^[1]

Orb clumping

When lots of XP orbs end up in a small area, Clumps groups them into a single entity. Fewer entities means less lag, which helps a lot around XP farms and big mob fights.^[1]

Instant pickup

Clumps also makes you collect an orb as soon as it touches you. You don't get stuck with a swarm of orbs floating in your face.^[1]

Server or client

For Minecraft 1.17 or newer, the project page says Clumps is only required on the server side. For older Minecraft versions it has to be installed on both sides.^[1]

Unverified No config options, items, recipes or in-game descriptions for Clumps could be confirmed from the available sources, so this guide doesn't list any tuning values or crafting steps for it. This site does hold All the Mods 11's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

Clumps 26.1.2.1 is the version in All the Mods 11 0.8.0-beta (the neoforge 26.1.2 build). The pack's mod list says it was first included in All the Mods 11 0.0.21 or earlier, so it has been in the pack for a long time.^[2]

The mod's own changelog for 26.1.2.1 is a run of version ports, plus one fix. Here it is from oldest to newest.^[3]

1. Port to 1.21.6.^[3]
2. Fix forge support.^[3]
3. Ports to 1.21.7 and 1.21.8.^[3]
4. Port to 1.21.9, which closes issue #164.^[3]

6. Port to 1.21.11.^[3]
7. Ports to 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2.^[3]

Apart from the forge support fix, every entry is a port to a newer Minecraft version. The changelog doesn't list any new features or gameplay changes.^[3]

Unverified No pack changelog entries for Clumps were available, so it is unverified whether any All the Mods 11 release changed how Clumps behaves.
