F3+F
by h._.03.
F3+F brings back the classic F3 plus F shortcuts that raise and lower render distance, which newer Minecraft versions removed.
What it does
Pressing F3 with F raises the render distance by one chunk, and pressing Shift with F3 and F lowers it by one chunk. A yellow message shows each change. The range is 2 to 32 chunks, and the adjustment happens on the client through lightweight commands that need no configuration. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 29 release versions, 1.19 – 26.3, and snapshot builds are published too. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Raise render distance
Holding F3 and pressing F extends the view distance by one chunk at a time.
Lower render distance
Shift with F3 and F reduces the view distance by one chunk per press.
Limits and feedback
Changes stop at 2 and 32 chunks, and a yellow message confirms each new value.
