No Game Render
by vertex06m
No Game Render is a Forge client-side mod for 1.20.1 that turns off the game's rendering, as its name suggests.
What it does
Only the player's own client needs No Game Render, since the environment is client-side only and the server does not have to run it. The mod is published for Forge alone, with one file, 1.0.0-1.20.1 for 1.20.1, dated 2025-03-14, and it is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
Rendering turned off
The mod stops the game from drawing the world on screen, so the client shows little beyond the menus.
Menus left visible
Screens and menus stay on the display while the world itself is not drawn.
Minimal screen output
With the world hidden, the client keeps only the basic interface and nothing else is rendered.
