CobbleOptimizer 4.4.0 — Release Notes

New optimization: Berry ticker backport (Cobblemon 1.8 → 1.7.3)

Added a new patch that eliminates the per-tick BlockEntityTicker overhead from BerryBlock, ported from how Cobblemon 1.8 handles berry growth.

What it does

• Cancels the original BerryBlock.getTicker() registration (no more per-tick callback on every loaded berry tree).
• Adds hasRandomTicks / randomTick / scheduledTick overrides that drive berry growth via vanilla random ticking instead, with delta-time compensation so average maturation time stays identical to vanilla Cobblemon.
• Mature berries (age = 5) and rooted berries don't tick at all → zero per-tick cost.

Performance

• Before: every loaded BerryBlockEntity ran a callback 20×/s → linear cost scaling with the number of loaded berry trees.
• After: each berry block is visited on average ~once per 68 s (at randomTickSpeed=3), with the elapsed game-time subtracted in one batch from stageTimer.
• On servers with large berry farms, this removes a constant per-tick overhead proportional to the farm size.

Configuration

• Config key: patches.berry_ticker_optimization
• Default: true (enabled out of the box for new installs; existing config files preserve their previous values).
• To disable: edit cobbleoptimizer.toml or run /cobbleoptimizer set patches.berry_ticker_optimization false and reload.
