Mobs Optimized Render

1. 01

   Hidden mobs skipped

   Mobs behind blocks are not rendered, which reduces the work the client does while a large crowd is loaded.

2. 02

   Multi-point visibility check

   Instead of testing a single point on each mob, the check runs across the eyes, feet and center of the entity, so a mob with any visible part stays rendered.

3. 03

   Transparent blocks respected

   Visibility uses a visual raytrace, so mobs stay drawn when seen through glass, water and other transparent blocks.

4. 04

   Benchmark figures from the author

   The author reports 94 FPS with 100+ mobs in a baseline view and 261 FPS with the mod, a 177% increase in that test scene.

Who it’s for: Players on Forge 1.16.5 who run large mob farms or dense builds and want fewer rendered entities on their own client.

Entity Culling is a Forge client-side mod for 1.12.2 – 1.16.5 under All rights reserved, so it covers a wider version range than this mod, which targets only 1.16.5. OptaMod is also client-side and Forge-only, for 1.13.2 – 1.14.4, and is not open source. Particle Culling is client-side and open source under the MIT License, but it is published only for 1.12.2 and culls particles rather than mobs.

Mobs Optimized Render is one of 3,545 Optimization mods on ModsFinder, and one of 1,441 Optimization mods for Forge. 5,992 mods support Minecraft 1.16.5.
