Better Entity Culling (BEC)

Each frame, the client checks which entities fall inside the current in-game field of view and skips drawing the rest. Mobs, dropped items, projectiles, boats, minecarts, armor stands and falling blocks such as sand and anvils are all covered. Entities hidden behind terrain walls or outside the view frustum are culled as well, so the game spends less time drawing objects that never reach the screen.

The check follows the field of view as it changes, so zooming, drawing a bow or drinking potions is taken into account. A config option limits rendering to entities in front of the player, which removes visual clutter as well as cost. The mod needs Fabric API, the mod's only required dependency, and it is published only for Fabric on 1.21.1.

Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game. The code is all rights reserved and not open source, and the author labels the feature set as beta. The first file, 0.1.0, was published on 2025-11-30 and the latest file followed on 2025-12-01.
