Über diese Mod
Better Render Distance
Minecraft's render distance was changed from a cube to a cylindrical shape back in 1.18. The problem is that this shape isn't actually a cylinder but rather a rounded rectangle. This mod optimizes this.
Recommended to use Better Resolution for significantly more GPU performance.
Performance Benefits
I get about a 10-15% boost on my system. Impacts both the CPU and the GPU. It could create a larger benefit for lower end systems.
Lightweight
Built to be lightweight and uses optimized functions. When Sodium is installed, Better Render Distance hooks into Sodium’s own occlusion culler to keep overhead as low as possible.
What Does The Mod Do?
This mod makes three optimizations to improve upon this.
Circular Horizontal Distance
Changes the render distance formula to be as a perfect circle as it can be which reduces the overextended diagonals.

Spherical Render Shape
Upgrades the shape from a cylinder to a sphere. Which extends the diagonal culling from only being done horizontally to vertically as well.
Vertical Render Distance (Configurable)
Ships with vertical distance set to the Balanced preset by default. Useful especially at higher render distances.
Configuration
Available in Sodium’s Video Settings. You can toggle the optimizations on/off and adjust the vertical culling amount.

Auto Vertical Scale setting that includes three presets (Performance / Balanced / Quality) which automatically adjust Vertical Scale based on your current Render Distance.
The manual adjustment slider is disabled when the Auto setting is enabled.
Mod Compatibility
Compatible with all the popular performance mods. If you find an incompatibility please report it and I will check it out.
Updates & Future Plans
I will be updating this mod to every stable Minecraft release. I have additional optimization ideas planned, but they’ll be explored and added over time.
I am also looking into porting back to popular older versions of Minecraft. Check back later if a version you are looking for isn't currently supported.

Muss Better Render Distance auf dem Minecraft Server installiert werden?
Nein. Modrinth kennzeichnet Better Render Distance serverseitig als nicht unterstützt. Installiere die Mod nur im lokalen Minecraft-Mods-Ordner. Dein Server kann unverändert bleiben, sofern die Mod-Seite keine zusätzliche Abhängigkeit nennt.
Welche Version und welchen Loader braucht Better Render Distance?
Nutze eine Datei für fabric und exakt deine Minecraft-Version. Unterstützte Versionen sind unter anderem 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Loader-Dateien sind nicht untereinander austauschbar.
Better Render Distance funktioniert nicht – was kann ich prüfen?
Prüfe zuerst Minecraft-Version, Loader-Version und erforderliche Abhängigkeiten. Lege die .jar-Datei im lokalen .minecraft/mods-Ordner ab und entferne ältere Duplikate. Da die Mod clientseitig ist, löst mehr Server-RAM dieses Problem nicht.
