Entity Stack Rendering

Name: Entity Stack Rendering
Author: mobiusmeansbusiness

Entity Stack Rendering is a Fabric client mod that changes how many entities gathered in one spot are drawn, aimed at frame rate in crowded areas.

FabricClient required, server optionalAll rights reserved1.21.11 – 26.3

What it does

When a large number of entities share the same location, the mod reduces the cost of drawing them, which helps the frame rate in places such as farms, mob grinders and busy spawn areas. Only the client needs it, and a server can run without it. Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib are optional and add a settings screen. Builds exist for Fabric only, covering 1.21.11 – 26.3 with 1.2 for 26.3 as the latest file, under All rights reserved.

Key features

Stacked entity rendering
Entities that occupy the same place are rendered as a group instead of one by one, cutting the work per frame.
Frame rate in crowds
The optimization targets scenes with many entities in one place, where frame rate is most likely to drop.
Optional settings screen
With Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib installed, the options can be adjusted from a configuration screen.

What the author says

Entity Stack Rendering massively boosts FPS by detecting groups of entities occupying the same position and rendering only one of them, displaying a count label (×N) above the stack instead. Supports minecarts, boats, armor stands, and all mobs. All entities remain fully functional; interactions, collision, and AI…
