Entity View Distance

by Patbox

Entity View Distance lets players and server owners set how far entities are rendered and tracked, through a settings screen or a command.

What it does

Entity View Distance gives finer control over the distance at which entities are shown on the client and tracked by the server. Changes are made in Entity Distance Settings inside Video Settings, or with the /entityviewdistance command. The mod runs on Fabric and Quilt with Fabric API or a compatible library. Builds cover 1.17.1 – 26.3, and snapshot builds are published.

Key features

  1. Adjustable entity render range

    Entity Distance Settings in Video Settings lets a player choose how far entities are drawn on their own screen.

  2. Adjustable tracking range

    A slash command changes how far away entities keep being tracked on a server, letting the owner decide the limit.

  3. Precise distance control

    The mod allows finer manipulation of entity view distance than the default vanilla setting.

Questions

Does Entity View Distance need Fabric API?

The description says it works only on Fabric with Fabric API or a compatible library, so Fabric API should be installed next to it on Fabric.

Does a server need the mod for clients to use it?

No. Installing it on either side is enough, and neither side needs it.
