Compress
Compress ZDOData synced between server and client.
About this mod Author’s original text
## Compress
- Opt-in server and client data compression when syncing ZDOs.
- ZPackage/ZSteamSocket optimizations for related code in the SendZDOs hot-loop.
Notes
- This mod must be installed on the server to enable compression.
- As a client, if the server does not have the mod then Compress will send uncompressed/vanilla data.
- Your Send rate in the F2 Panel will be the usual ~150 KB/s.
- As a client, if the server does have the mod it will start sending and receiving compressed ZDO data.
- You should see a drop in your Send rate of around 50% to ~80 KB/s.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
