FeyTweaks
by Feytox
With FeyTweaks installed, signs and beacon-style glowing text stop costing frames when they are far away or out of view.
What it does
FeyTweaks reduces the rendering work that sign text and glowing text create. Text on a sign can be fully hidden when the player stands at a distance, and text outside the view is skipped instead of drawn. The outline around glowing text can be turned off, and an experimental option converts that outline into a shadow, in a normal or a fast mode.
The mod runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it, and players join servers that do not have it installed. It is published for Fabric and Forge across 13 release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.21.1. Cloth Config API and Fabric API are required on Fabric, and Mod Menu is optional for its settings screen. MidnightLib is bundled inside the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public links exist for the source code and issue tracker.
