Erase
by Finside
Erase turns off selected Minecraft rendering types, such as sky fog, in-game HUDs and world rendering, through a settings screen.
What it does
Erase lets a player switch individual rendering features of the game off and on, including sky fogs, the in-game HUD and parts of world rendering. The toggles are grouped on a settings screen, so a player can remove an effect without touching the other visuals. Erase needs Sodium Cloth Config to store and show its options.
The mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and it is published with a single file, 1.20.1-1.0.1 for 1.20.1, dated 2024-07-26. Only the client needs it, since it changes rendering and nothing on the server side. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source is public. Its catalog category is Cursed, with Utility and Optimization also assigned.
Key features
Rendering type toggles
Individual Minecraft rendering types can be disabled, which removes their effect from the screen.
Sky fog control
Sky fog can be switched off, so the sky is drawn without the haze that the game adds by default.
In-game HUD toggles
Parts of the in-game HUD can be hidden while the rest of the interface stays on screen.
World rendering options
Rendering of the world itself can be turned off feature by feature from the same settings screen.

Use cases
Clearing up the view
A player who finds a specific effect distracting can remove it while keeping the other visuals unchanged.
Testing rendering
Someone checking how a rendering feature looks can disable it and compare the view with the feature on.
Who it’s for: Players who want to remove particular visual effects on Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric, and who have Sodium Cloth Config installed. The mod is client-side, so servers do not need it.
How it compares
Particle Culling is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21 – 26.3 under the MIT License, and it is open source, so it covers a different set of effects and a different version range. Toggleable Rendering is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.19.2 – 1.21.5 under the MIT License that is not open source, which makes it the option for an older range. Disable Lighting is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21 – 26.3 released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it fits a player who needs a public-domain licence.
