Carpet-VisualFix
by XSY_xiaoqi
Carpet-VisualFix is a Fabric server mod that stops entity animations from running ahead of the server in lazy-loaded chunks.
What it does
Entities in lazy-loaded chunks sit outside simulation distance but inside render distance. The server stops updating them, yet a client keeps animating them, so their visuals drift from what the server is doing. Carpet-VisualFix adds an entityRenderingFix rule that freezes those entities, so the displayed state matches the server.
The mod requires Carpet, and it runs on the server alone: players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric, across four game versions: 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.21.1 and 1.21.10, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.10 as the latest file. It is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
entityRenderingFix rule
A rule that freezes entities in lazy-loaded chunks so their animation stops where the server stops updating them.
Matching visual state
Entities outside simulation distance but within render distance show the state the server holds, not a stale animation.
Setting integration
The fix is exposed as a setting, so it can be toggled alongside other rules on a server.

Use cases
Servers with reduced simulation distance

Who it’s for: Server owners who run Fabric servers and notice entity animations that do not match server activity in distant chunks.
How it compares

Entities in lazy-loaded chunks (outside simulation distance but within render distance) continue to animate on the client even though the server isn't updating them.
