Automatically adjusts render distance based on FPS. Flash-free, Bobby compatible, configurable via Mod Menu
Dynamic Render Distance
Automatically adjusts your client render distance based on FPS.
Low FPS? The mod reduces render distance. High FPS? It pushes further. No white flash, no stutters, no manual tweaking.
How It Works
The mod samples your FPS every second. At each check interval (default 5s), it compares your average FPS to your thresholds. Below minimum? Render distance goes down. Above maximum? It goes up. A cooldown (default 10s) prevents oscillation. The render distance always stays within your configured min/max bounds.
By default, the mod descends fast (step 2) and climbs slowly (step 1). This prioritizes playable FPS while gradually improving view distance when your system can handle it.
Configuration
All settings accessible via Mod Menu or by editing config/dynamic-render-distance.json.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | ON | Enable/disable the mod |

| Min FPS | 45 | Below this, reduce render distance |
| Max FPS | 75 | Above this, increase render distance |
| Min RD | 6 | Minimum render distance (chunks) |
| Max RD | 32 | Maximum render distance (chunks) |
| Decrease Step | 2 | Chunks removed per adjustment |
| Increase Step | 1 | Chunks added per adjustment |
| Check Interval | 5.0s | Time between FPS checks |
| Cooldown | 10.0s | Wait time after each adjustment |
