Overview

SyncBoost optimizes meaningless server-side hopper polling when idle. Container GUI synchronization is left entirely to vanilla to ensure gameplay correctness.

Core Strategy (Delivery Safe Version)

1. Container Sync: Does not intercept sendContentUpdates(), avoiding revision / property / cursor protocol risks
2. Hopper Idle Skip: Only skips 2 ticks when ALL of the following are met:
   • Server-side
   • Hopper not on cooldown (transferCooldown == 0 / Mojang: cooldownTime == 0)
   • Hopper itself is empty
   • An Inventory / Container exists directly above
   • Content hash of the above Inventory has not changed
3. Cross-Dimension Isolation: Tracking key includes dimension hash to prevent same-coordinate crosstalk

What It Does NOT Do

• Does not rewrite container network synchronization
• Does not skip item pickup path (passes through to vanilla when no container above)
• Does not modify hopper cooldown semantics

Cross-Loader Mapping Differences
