Render Tweaks+
by Wavenly
Render Tweaks+ lets players switch off selected rendering elements on the Fabric client to raise frame rates and declutter the screen.
What it does
Render Tweaks+ gives the player a set of toggles for rendering effects that cost frames or fill too much of the view. Among them are the shaking of grass and the other moving textures that Minecraft draws by default, which the author says can make the game harder to play comfortably. Turning off a rendering element removes it from the next frames, so the frame rate can rise on lower-end machines.
The mod is aimed at players who want fewer distractions and more frames, and the author points to PvP as a case where the removed effects are useful. A GUI opened with the B key lists the available options. Some changes, such as turning off the grass renderer, only take effect after the player leaves and re-enters the world.
Render Tweaks+ is a client mod for Fabric and runs only on the player's side, so a server does not need it. It targets Minecraft 1.21.4 and 1.21.5 and is released under All rights reserved, which makes it closed source.
