Render Keybind

by Booleannn

Render Keybind lets players change render distance and simulation distance from the keyboard, without opening any settings screen.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.9 – 26.2

What it does

Holding F3 with the Debug screen open lets players raise the render distance and, with Shift added, lower it; the same pattern on the Z key controls simulation distance. An overlay toggle on F and Z is set as the default. Installs on Fabric only, for game versions 1.21.9 – 26.2, with snapshot builds published alongside the release builds. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Key features

  1. Render distance keys

    F3 with F raises the render distance, and Shift with F3 and F lowers it, without opening the video settings.

  2. Simulation distance keys

    F3 with Z raises the simulation distance, and Shift with F3 and Z lowers it from the keyboard.

  3. Overlay toggle

    Pressing F or Z by default toggles the overlay that shows the current distance values.
