In builds and servers filled with item frames, armor stands, and other entities, visibility distance can matter as much as chunk distance. Entity View Distance Mod lets you decide how far away entities become visible, giving you more control over what stays on screen in entity-heavy areas. Available information says it works on both client and server sides and does not need to be installed on both ends to connect, so it can be used alongside vanilla clients and servers.
Key Features
- Sets the distance at which entities become visible instead of leaving every entity type at the same range.
- Helps you manage visibility for entity-heavy content such as item frames, armor stands, and similar setups.
- Lets you change settings from Entity Distance Settings in Video Settings or with the
/entityviewdistancecommand. - Works on both client and server sides, with no need to install it on both ends to connect.
- Applies to all entities, including modded entities, and is listed for Fabric and Quilt environments.
