About this project

What does Render Distance Cycler 1.21.6+ add?

Render Distance Cycler

This mod started as a version port of kryptonaught's mod.

It makes your render distance adjustable on the fly by the F3 + F keybind or by the /rd command.

Feature details

  • F3 + F:

    • increases your render distance by one

  • F3 + Shift + F:

    • decreases your render distance by one

  • /renderDistance or /rd

    • tells you how high your render distance currently is

  • /renderDistance <number> & /rd <number>

    • sets your render distance to the specified value

For 1.21.11 and above:

  • the key used for the F3 shortcut can be rebound in the settings, just like for other debug function keybinds
  • debug keybind dedicated to increasing render distance
  • debug keybind dedicated to decreasing render distance

Update 2.0.0

You can now change your render distance via a command!

/renderDistance or /rd will give you the value of your current render distance.

/renderDistance <number> or /rd <number> will set your render distance to the provided value.

2 is the minimum value for this input.

If the specified value exceeds the maximum render distance, the highest possible value will be used.

To get a command with a similar function for versions prior to 1.21.6, the mods from either rinmav9055 or ExiledLizard635 can be
used.

Update 2.1.0

Since Minecraft has F3 rebindable shortcuts now, I've added rebinding support to the mod as well.

To stay in parity with the Minecraft versions, the key is only rebindable from 1.21.11 onward. If support for rebinding on earlier versions is not specifically requested, I won't add it. You are however free to join my discord server or open an issue on the GitHub repository if you would like to have it on an older version aswell.

Update 2.2.0

Two optional keybinds were added, dedicated to increasing or decreasing only.

There is also a translation to Russian now, thanks to Evga314.
