More Culling vs ServerCore

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.

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.
