More Culling Extra
by FX
With More Culling Extra installed, glass panes skip rendering against glass and beacons, and glass and beacons skip rendering against each other.
What it does
The mod extends More Culling, which it requires, with a small set of culling rules that its author chose to keep out of the main mod. Each rule decides whether a block face is drawn based on what sits next to it, so hidden faces cost less rendering work.
Glass panes, glass blocks and beacons are the blocks it targets. Glass panes are culled against other glass and against beacons, glass is culled against beacons, and beacons are culled against glass. The mod runs only on the client, so a server does not need it and players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.19.2 – 1.20.4, with the latest file for 1.20.4, under the MIT License, and the project is open source.
Optional companions are Carpet-Fixes and Memory Leak Fix. More Culling is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside this mod on the same loader.
