About this project

What does Farsight [Forge/Neo] add?

Farsight is a client-side util which lets you see farther on servers than the servers view distance.

It works by having the client keep the chunks even when the server unloads them, up to a max render distance of 64 chunks. Optionally from version 5.0+ you can also save the received chunks to the disk, which allows loading them for previewing even when the server did not load them yet.

This is the Forge version of Farsight, for the Fabric version click here: Fabric

Requires Cupboard dependency to be installed in newer versions

  • Configurable max distance at which chunk data is kept

It is only required on client side.

No known incompatibilities, should work with any other mods.
If sodium settings do not allow you to set render distance higher, press Shift+P inside sodium settings to access the original screen.

If you enjoy this mod consider supporting the development, any support is greatly appreciated.

The development is an unpaid free-time activity, so any support helps being able to spend more time on it.
You can support me on Patreon, or just spreading the word around.
