Eaglercraft 1.12 (often referred to as EaglercraftX) using WebAssembly Garbage Collection (WASM GC) represents a major technical evolution for web-based Minecraft.
| Aspect | Without WASM GC | With WASM GC (Eaglercraft 1.12) | |--------|----------------|--------------------------------| | Memory usage | High (JS heap + WASM linear memory) | Lower (unified browser GC) | | GC pauses | Frequent, long | Browser-optimized, shorter | | Mod compatibility | Low (no reflection/GC interop) | Higher (supports more Java patterns) | | Binary size | Large (includes GC runtime) | Smaller (uses browser’s GC) | | FPS in 1.12 | 10–30 | 30–60+ (on modern machines) | eaglercraft 112 wasm gc

GC (Garbage Collection): Garbage collection is a form of automatic memory management. It relieves the developer from worrying about manually managing memory, as the GC automatically frees up memory occupied by objects that are no longer needed. In the context of Eaglercraft 1.12 WASM, GC ensures that the server software running within the browser efficiently manages its memory usage, preventing memory leaks and ensuring smooth performance. long | Browser-optimized
