Entity Culling

What Entity Culling changes

Entity Culling checks which entities and block entities the player can actually see, then avoids rendering those hidden behind solid geometry. Its visibility calculations run asynchronously, and the current project also includes configurable client-side entity tick optimizations.

The benefit depends on the scene, hardware, and other installed mods. This is a rendering and client performance tool; it does not change server-side mob behavior or make every Minecraft setup faster by the same amount.

Before you install

Required game and tools

Install on the Minecraft Java client with the matching loader. Do not put this client performance mod on a dedicated server unless the chosen release explicitly supports it. Check compatibility when combining visibility or rendering mods. Required dependencies declared for the files below: neoforge / 26.3: no additional required mods declared in the release metadata. fabric / 26.3: Fabric API. forge / 1.21.8: no additional required mods declared in the release metadata. forge / 1.20.1: no additional required mods declared in the release metadata.

Installation

Use a separate Minecraft launcher profile and back up your saves. Install the loader that matches your chosen file, then install its required dependency mods for the same Minecraft version. Place the downloaded JAR in that profile's mods folder without extracting it, then launch through the modded profile. Choose one compatible build of this mod; do not install all the alternative files together. These are desktop Java Edition mods, not Android/iOS or Minecraft Bedrock add-ons.

Use the current compatibility list on the official download page. Back up your saves before adding or updating mods.
