Enhanced Block Entities vs ServerCore

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.

ServerCore is a free, self-hosted Minecraft mod focused on server performance and lag-spike reduction. It runs on dedicated servers and in singleplayer, with Modrinth compatibility for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge. Entity Activation Range reduces the entities processed by the server. Dynamic checks can adjust chunk-tick distance, view distance, simulation distance, and mobcaps according to tick time and configuration. Administrators can set spawn rates and mobcaps per spawn group, with optional rules for reinforcements, spawners, and nether-portal random ticks. Breeding Caps limit same-type breeding within a radius, while chunk-ticking-distance narrows the range for mob spawning and random ticks. Commands include reload, settings, status, mobcaps, and statistics. Configuration files are config.yml and optimizations.yml in config/servercore. Changes that alter vanilla behavior are disabled by default.
