Entity Culling Mod 1.18.2 → 1.19.3

Entity culling in Minecraft refers to a process by which the game engine selectively chooses which entities to render in a given frame, based on their distance from the player and other factors.

In Minecraft, entities are objects in the game world that are not part of the terrain, such as mobs, animals, and dropped items. Rendering all of these entities at once can be taxing on the game engine, especially in situations where there are many entities present, such as in a mob farm or in multiplayer servers with many players.

To reduce the strain on the game engine, entity culling is employed to selectively render only the entities that are necessary for the player’s current view, while ignoring those that are too far away or hidden behind other objects. This process can improve the game’s performance and make it run smoother.

Minecraft has different levels of entity culling. In the default setting, the game culls entities that are more than 64 blocks away from the player. However, this can be adjusted by changing the game settings, mods or using optifine.

It’s worth noting that entity culling can sometimes lead to unexpected behaviors or glitches, especially when dealing with mobs that have AI or are controlled by players. Therefore, it is important to test and adjust the settings to ensure that the game remains stable and playable.

✅Dependencies

• none

✅Incompatible

• none (With some mods you might need to add the blocks to the config whitelist to fix visual issues)

✅Tested with

• Sodium
• Iris
• Optifine

✅Note to why it works even with Sodium/Optifine

This has been tested with other mods, Optifine(Optifabric), Iris, and Sodium, in all cases resulting in fps gains in places like Game Server lobbies.

You might wonder why it does increase the FPS with Sodium since Sodium has “Use Entity Culling” in its Advanced settings and enabled by default. The difference is that Sodium does a really quick pass based on the visible chunks, being way less aggressive and thereby still rendering entities that just happen to be in visible chunks, but not visible themselves.
