Ever wished you could see further in Minecraft without cranking up your render distance and tanking your framerate? NoFog Mod strips away the distance fog that normally hides the edges of your rendered world, effectively giving you a wider view without the performance cost of loading additional chunks. With over 1,500 downloads on Modrinth and support for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, it's a go-to pick for players on lower-end hardware who want the most out of a modest render distance.
Key Features
- Complete fog removal — Disables all fog types including distance fog, water fog, lava fog, and powder snow fog, giving you unobstructed visibility across the entire rendered world.
- Per-biome and per-dimension fog toggles — From version 1.16.5 onwards, you can toggle individual fog types separately for each biome, dimension, or globally, letting you fine-tune exactly how much fog you want to keep.
- Low-end friendly — The mod works especially well at small render distances. Even at just 5 chunks, removing the fog dramatically extends how far you can actually see without increasing system load.
- Multi-loader support — Available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, covering virtually every modern modding setup.

FAQ
Does NoFog Mod improve FPS?
NoFog Mod does not directly boost your framerate — it removes visual fog so you can see further within your existing render distance. Since it doesn't load additional chunks, it appears to be lightweight and shouldn't negatively affect performance.
Can I toggle specific fog types on and off?
Yes, on Minecraft 1.16.5 and newer versions the mod lets you toggle fog types individually per biome, per dimension, or globally, so you can keep water fog while disabling distance fog, for example.
Does NoFog work with OptiFine or Sodium?
The mod is available for both Forge and Fabric, so it can be used alongside OptiFine (Forge) or Sodium (Fabric). However, since both of those mods also modify rendering, check for conflicts with your specific version combination.
