Enhanced Block Entities vs More Culling

Enhanced Block Entities is a free, client-side Minecraft Java Edition mod that changes how selected block entities are rendered. It replaces some entity models with baked block models to target rendering performance, while preserving animations and rendering animated models only when needed. Listed optimised entities include ender chests, signs, bells, beds, shulker boxes and decorated pots. Visual options include smooth lighting, longer viewing distance, resource-pack remodeling and toggles such as Christmas chests. Resource packs can customise appearances, and a documented API lets other mods override configuration values or trigger a reload. EBE is described as a Fabric mod, with Fabric and Quilt listed as supported loaders, and it requires Fabric API. Minecraft Java compatibility spans versions 1.16.2 through 1.21.4. EBE 0.10.2 and newer work with Sodium 0.6 and newer without extra mods; earlier versions require Indium with Sodium 0.5.11 or below. The project is LGPL-3.0 licensed.

More Culling is a free Minecraft: Java Edition mod that changes how the game skips rendering objects the player cannot see. Its project wiki describes techniques for block states, item frames, leaves, and paintings, along with custom culling shapes and model shapes for resource packs. API guidance covers custom block culling and troubleshooting culling issues on modded blocks. The listed Minecraft versions are 1.18.x through 1.21.x and 26.1.x through 26.3. Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt are listed as supported loaders. The project information lists client-side and client-and-server environments, while the supplied compatibility details specify client scope and no dedicated server support. More Culling requires Cloth Config. The related MoreCullingExtra extension adds culling combinations involving glass panes, glass, and beacons. The mod is licensed GPL-3.0-only. Its maintainer permits modpack use with attribution, but asks users to obtain permission before merging it into a client or another mod. The project directs bug reports to its issue tracker and also links to a Discord server.
