Is Entity Culling good for mob farms?

Yes, mob farms are probably the best case for this mod. They pack a lot of entities into a small space, and if those entities are sitting behind walls or floors, Entity Culling skips rendering almost all of them. FPS gains in farms can be pretty significant.

Does Entity Culling work with Sodium or OptiFine?

On Fabric it works alongside Sodium without issues. On Forge it generally works with OptiFine, though OptiFine compatibility can vary depending on what else you have installed. Test with a small mod list first if you run into problems.

Do I need a good CPU for this to work?

Not really. The mod uses CPU threads that Minecraft leaves idle anyway. Even on a mid-range machine you should see FPS improvements, since the path-tracing runs without touching the main thread.

Can I use Entity Culling on multiplayer servers?

Yes. It's a client-side mod, so you can run it on any server without needing anything installed server-side. Other players don't need it either.

Why is there no 1.19.4 Forge version?

Only a Fabric build was released for 1.19.4. If you need Forge support on that version, check back for updates or stick with 1.19.3 where both loaders are available.

Entity Culling Mod (1.19.4, 1.18.2) - FPS Boost

Entity Culling is a performance mod that stops Minecraft from wasting render time on mobs and tile entities you can’t actually see. Vanilla already skips things behind your camera, but it still renders everything through walls. This mod fixes that by using your spare CPU threads to path-trace from your camera to every nearby entity and skip the ones that are blocked.

It’s one of the more effective FPS mods out there, especially if you run mob farms or busy bases. Drop it in alongside Sodium or OptiFine and the difference is noticeable.

How It Works

The mod runs async path-tracing on your unused CPU cores. It checks every tile entity and mob within 64 blocks in each direction (a 128x128x128 cube around the player). Anything in that cube that’s hidden behind solid blocks gets skipped at render time. Anything outside that range is already far enough away that it’s not a problem.

That 64-block range roughly matches the vanilla Entity Distance slider. There’s nothing to configure. You install it and it just runs.
