FastChest Update

by JeanGomez

FastChest Update is an unofficial Fabric port that makes chests render as static block models instead of 3D renderers, which raises frame rates in areas with many chests.

What it does

Chests in the world are drawn from static block models rather than the usual per-chest 3D renderer. Chest-heavy scenes, such as storage rooms and farms, take less work per frame, so the game runs with higher frame rates there. The change is purely visual-side and affects only how chests are rendered.

The mod needs Fabric API on every install. Mod Menu is optional and only adds a configuration entry point. It is client-side only, so only the client needs it, and servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric, with the latest build 1.10+26.3 for 26.3, released on 2026-09-17. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

The original FastChest mod was created by Domi, and this release is an unofficial port of it by JeanGomez. The description also notes that the port is not an official release from the original author.

Key features

  1. Static chest models

    Chests are displayed with static block models, replacing the 3D chest renderer used in vanilla.

  2. Higher frame rates near chests

    Areas with many chests draw with less work per frame, which benefits storage rooms and dense bases.

  3. Chests only

    Only chest rendering changes, so other blocks and gameplay stay as they are in vanilla.

Questions

Does FastChest Update need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside the mod on Fabric.

Does a server need FastChest Update?

No. The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it on their own game.

Which game versions does the latest file support?

The latest Fabric file, 1.10+26.3, is built for 26.3. Files also exist for 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2.
