TradeHall Villager/Farm Optimizer
by Reimz
TradeHall Villager/Farm Optimizer is a client-side Fabric mod that stops drawing villagers and other entities the player cannot see, which raises frame rates around large trade halls and farms.
What it does
Large trade halls and villager farms keep many villagers loaded at once, and the base game draws each one even when it sits behind a wall or far away. TradeHall Villager/Farm Optimizer checks whether each villager is visible. Hidden ones are skipped during rendering until they come back into view, while their AI, trading and position keep working as before.
The mod offers two independent hiding rules. Smart hiding skips entities blocked by walls, other buildings or their hitboxes. Distance hiding skips entities beyond a chosen radius, set with a slider from 1 to 128 blocks. Each rule has its own on/off switch, and a separate toggle decides whether wandering traders are included. The whole mod can be turned off from the settings.
The custom entities list extends the same behavior to other entities, such as armor stands in a mob farm or zombies in a cow farm. Entities are added from a searchable dropdown, and each entry can carry its own smart hiding and distance hiding settings. Everything runs on the client, and the server is not touched. TradeHall Villager/Farm Optimizer is published for 1.21.11 and for 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and is released under the MIT License. The code is not open source to the public, and the mod requires Cloth Config API and Mod Menu.

What the author says
A client side mod that boosts your FPS in trade halls. If you keep a big crowd of villagers at your base, the game wastes a ton of resources drawing every single one of them, even the ones you can't actually see. This mod simply stops rendering them until you need them. And it's not just villagers: you can add any…
