Rubberbandaid is a Vintage Story mod by Chronolegionaire. Rubberbandaid raises Vintage Story’s player sync threshold to potentially reduce rubber banding on heavily modded servers.
Why this mod is worth installing
This utility is aimed at server owners and players who see repeated position or state corrections on modded servers. It is a targeted workaround, not a universal network-performance fix.
What Rubberbandaid adds
Rubberbandaid changes the limit for simultaneous player attribute synchronization requests per tick. When too many attributes are marked for syncing, Vintage Story can force a complete resynchronization, which appears in-game as rubber banding; this mod raises the threshold to make that trigger less likely.
The mod creates one adjustable setting when it first starts. Its default is 20, while the vanilla threshold is 10, but the best value depends on the server and its mod load. Increasing the number too far can hurt performance, so it is better to begin low and raise it gradually.
Both the server and connected client need the mod. It may also help in singleplayer, although its main purpose is reducing synchronization corrections on heavily modded multiplayer servers.
