SETTINGS
Performance Settings
Physics Pro has many settings which you can change. Settings affect gameplay, performance, or both. To help you get the best performance, you can choose from one of four presets:
Performance
Balanced
Detailed
Ultra
Choosing the right preset is important: Not every device will be equipped to work well with every preset. When you add Physics Pro to your world, it will automatically select the optimal preset for your device.
If your device cannot keep up, ragdolls might be frozen in mid-air so that the rest of the game can continue to run smoothly. Lowering settings with the “Impacts performance” label can reduce this from happening.
If you don’t want to use a preset, you can of course change individual settings as well.
Ragdoll Settings
Enable Ragdolls Physics
Toggle Ragdoll physics on or off
Ragdoll Entities
Choose the type of entities that are allowed to ragdoll. Choose from:
Players Only
Mobs Only
Players And Mobs
Ragdoll Quality
Impacts performance
Change the overall quality and detail of the ragdoll simulation. Choose from:
Performance
Balanced
Detailed
Ragdoll disappear effect
The visual effect that plays when a ragdoll despawns. Choose from:
None
Poof
Moving Ragdoll limit
Impacts performance
The maximum number of moving ragdolls that can be present at any given time.
Ranges from 0 - 50
Set to 0 for no limit
Does not include static ragdolls, since they require far fewer resources
Ragdoll Lifetime
Use the ragdoll lifetime slider to set how long (in seconds) the ragdoll stays before despawning.
Ranges from 1 - 300
Advanced Ragdoll Settings
Global Ragdoll Limit
The maximum amount of ragdolls (moving or not) that can be present at any given time.
Ranges from 0 - 50
Set to 0 for no limit
Ragdoll on environmental death
Impacts performance
Allow mobs to ragdoll when dying to environmental causes (fall-damage, lava, etc).
Could cause performance issues with mob farms.
Toggleable
Ragdoll MSPT budget
The time (in milliseconds) that the game is allowed to spend on ragdolls each tick. While this threshold is exceeded, ragdolls will be frozen to prevent the game from slowing down any further.
Ranges from 0 - 50
Set to 0 to disable
Ragdoll Framerate
Impacts performance
The number of frames, or steps that should be computed each second — more frames result into smoother ragdolls.
Ranges from 10 - 20
Ragdoll idle sensitivity
Impacts performance
To save resources, idle ragdolls are made static. This setting controls how sensitive this mechanic is to subtle movements that might prevent a ragdoll from going idle. Choose from:
Sensitive
Optimized
Smoother death transitions
Makes the transition between a life and death more seamless. Disable if experiencing issues with mobs, not taking damage or not dropping loot.
Toggleable
Reduce block clipping
Impacts performance
Whether to perform additional steps to reduce the likelihood of ragdolls clipping through blocks.
Toggleable
Block collision quality
Impacts performance
Controls the level of detail in block collisions. Setting this to ‘performance’ will treat all blocks as solid blocks. Choose from:
Performance
Standard
Detailed
Item Settings
Enable Item Physics
Toggle item physics on or off
Item physics mode
Impacts performance
How to achieve item physics. ‘Animated’ uses animations to create realistic-looking item behavior, while ‘Simulated’ simulates real physics for the best results.
Animated
Simulated
Item amount limit
The maximum amount of physics items that can be present at any given time — will fall back to vanilla items when exceeded.
Ranges from: 0 - 1080
Set to 0 for no limit.
Play ground impact sounds
Whether physics items should make sounds when landing on blocks.
This setting has no effect when ‘Item physics mode’ is set to ‘Animated’
Toggleable
Can punch items
Whether players can send recently dropped physics items flying by punching them.
This setting has no effect when ‘Item physics mode’ is set to ‘Animated’
Toggleable
Advanced Item Settings
Simulated item limit
The maximum amount of physics items that can be actively simulated at any given time. Will fall back to animations when exceeded.
Set to 0 for no limit. This setting has no effect when ‘Item physics mode’ is set to ‘Animated’.
Explosion Settings
Enable Explosion Physics
Toggle explosion physics on or off
Exploding block limit
Impacts performance
The maximum amount of exploding blocks that can fly through the air at any given time.
Set to 0 for no limit.
Advanced Explosion Settings
Exploding block chance
The chance an exploded block will be launched away instead of disappearing.
Ranges from: 0 - 100
Exploding block minimum
The amount of blocks that a single explosion can launch away with a hundred percent chance — this helps ensure that no explosions look underwhelming.
Ranges from: 0 - 100
