World Border Fade

by 5w14

World Border Fade makes the edge of the world border fade in as a player approaches it, instead of appearing as a hard wall.

What it does

The fade strength depends on how far a player is from the border. Its warning distance is set on the server, so server admins decide where the fading begins and how far it reaches. Admins can also change the fading distance in blocks through the world border settings. The mod is installed only on the client, and it works with Forge across 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with files published for each of the six release versions. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Distance-based fade

    The border becomes more transparent or more visible depending on the distance between the player and the edge.

  2. Server-set warning distance

    The warning distance of the world border, configured on the server, controls where the fade starts.

  3. Admin-configurable fade range

    Server admins can set the fading distance in blocks, using the world border settings.

Questions

Does World Border Fade need to be installed on the server?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. The fade distance is still configured by server admins.
