About this project

What does Bobby Reforged add?

Bobby Reforged is an unofficial Forge port of Bobby, a mod which allows for render distances greater than the server's view-distance setting, even after rejoining the server. It accomplishes this goal by recording and storing (in .minecraft/.bobby) all chunks sent by the server, which it then can load and display at a later point when the chunk is outside the server's view-distance.

Please direct bug reports, questions, and everything else to the Github page linked to this Curseforge page, not the Fabric mod. The original maintainer, Johni0702, will not be providing any support.

Optionally, it can also use an existing single player world to load in chunks which the server has never sent before. To make use of this feature, simply rename the world folder (not the name of the world! the name of its folder!) to "bobby-fallback".

This mod supports Rubidium and Oculus. This mod is incompatible with Farsight, which does the same thing without saving chunk data.
