HighRise Client
by dacoolador
HighRise Client is a Forge client bundle for Minecraft 1.8.9 that adds a time changer, entity culling, raw mouse input and a CPS and FPS counter.
What it does
Installed on the client, the mod adds a set of in-game tools: a time changer for the local world view, entity culling that skips drawing entities out of sight, and raw mouse input for direct cursor handling. A CPS and FPS counter sits on screen, and a toggle for shift sprint keeps the sprint key held without pressing it again. Badges and icons placed in front of usernames are shown on the client as well.
The mod is configurable and aims at players who want one client rather than separate small mods for each function. Each feature can be adjusted from the settings. Installation needs only Forge, and the client alone is enough, so servers run without it.
Files are published for Forge 1.8.9 only. The latest Forge file is 0.0.1 for 1.8.9, released 2026-04-16 on the alpha channel. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Time changer
Sets the time of day shown to the local player, without changing the world on the server.
Entity culling
Stops drawing entities that are hidden from the camera, which can reduce the work the client does each frame.
Raw mouse input
Reads mouse movement directly from the operating system, bypassing acceleration applied by the game.
CPS and FPS counter
Displays clicks per second and frames per second on screen while playing.
Toggle shift sprint
Keeps sprinting active with a toggle key, so the sprint key does not have to be held down.
Username badges
Shows badge icons in front of usernames, visible to players who run the mod.

Solo and private play

Competitive input
Players who care about mouse precision can use raw input and the CPS counter while practicing.
Who it’s for: Players on Minecraft 1.8.9 with Forge who want several client tools in one installation. The mod is not needed on servers.
