ModernF3

by ImToggle

ModernF3 brings the debug screen features of newer Minecraft versions to 1.8.9, so the F3 menu can show more than the original build does.

What it does

The mod backports F3 features from modern versions into the 1.8.9 debug screen. Players gain chunk border display, debug messages, render distance control and a singleplayer pause screen, plus a copy-location teleport command. Pressing F3 and Q opens the help list that explains the available keys.

ModernF3 is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.8.9 only, released as version 1.0.0 on 2024-11-28 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so the code is open source. Only the client needs it, so servers run without installing anything. It bundles OneConfig internally, and no other mod is required.

Key features

  1. Chunk borders

    Chunk boundaries can be drawn in the world, making it easier to see where loaded chunks begin and end.

  2. Copy location teleport

    A copied location can be pasted into a teleport command, saving typing when moving between coordinates.

  3. Render distance control

    The render distance can be adjusted from the debug screen without opening the video settings menu.

  4. Singleplayer pause screen

    The pause screen shows debug details during singleplayer play, not only the F3 overlay.
