Better Render Distance Mod (26.1.2, 1.21.1) – See Distant Terrain Without Frame

Better Render Distance Mod changes how the game loads the world around you to boost your frame rate. In the base game, the loaded chunks form a blocky cylinder shape that loads areas you cannot even see. This mod fixes that by turning the loaded area into a perfect sphere. By cutting out the extra corners, your computer does less work. You get smoother gameplay and less lag, especially if you play on an older computer.

Features:

• Circular Horizontal Distance: The mod loads chunks in a true circle around you instead of a square shape with rounded edges.
• Spherical Render Shape: It stops loading unneeded chunks high above or far below you.
• Speed Boost: You get a faster game speed and fewer frame drops while playing.
• Lightweight Code: It runs quietly in the background without adding extra heavy tasks.
• Works With Sodium: It links directly into Sodium’s culling system to run even faster.

Configuration:

• Find the options inside the Sodium Video Settings menu.
• Turn the chunk loading changes on or off whenever you want.
• Pick from Auto Vertical Scale presets like Performance, Balanced, or Quality.
• Use the manual slider to pick your own vertical loading limits.
