Unobtrusive Fog

by Finside

Unobtrusive Fog lets players see farther by replacing vanilla fog with a softer, selectable fog that keeps the natural look of the terrain.

What it does

Vanilla fog is thick enough that distant terrain cannot be seen, and disabling it entirely leaves harsh terrain cutoffs. Unobtrusive Fog sits between these two options: it thins the fog so more of the landscape stays visible while the edge of the render distance still blends in. Cloth Config API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings screen. The mod runs on Fabric in the client only, so servers do not need it. Builds cover 1.21 – 26.3, and the latest file is 1.0.1-26.3 for 26.3.

Key features

  1. Selectable fog modes

    The fog can be switched between vanilla behavior and the unobtrusive setting, so players choose the look they prefer.

  2. Farther view distance

    Terrain beyond the vanilla fog limit stays visible, which makes distant hills and forests readable.

  3. Natural appearance

    The fog keeps a soft transition at the edge of the visible area, avoiding the abrupt cutoffs that appear when fog is removed.
