Bread

Mod id bread · Minecraft 26.3, 26.2, 26.1 · Fabric, Forge, NeoForge · Requires the latest Mycel · Client for performance, zoom and FPS counter; the gameplay tweaks need it on the server too.

Bread gives you more FPS where your game struggles. It skips drawing what you cannot see or would not notice: mobs, chests and item frames behind walls, details on far-away things, piles of dropped items. In a busy base that is about three times the FPS. It also adds zoom, an FPS counter and the small things vanilla should do, like right-click harvesting and double doors. Every feature can be switched off.

Two screenshots of the same base with 1,332 item frames, 300 armored zombies and 1,500 dropped stacks: Bread off at 19 FPS, Bread on at 67 FPS. — The same spot at the same moment: 19 FPS without Bread, 67 with it.

FAQ

The short version

Mobs, chests, signs and item frames behind walls are not drawn.
Far-away things get less detail: no armor on far mobs, one item instead of a pile, flat items. Zooming brings the detail back.
Hold C to zoom. /bread fps turns on the FPS counter. /bread info shows what Bread skipped.
Tweaks: right-click harvest, double doors, ladder extending, villagers on leads and more.
Performance, zoom and the FPS counter work on any server. The tweaks need Bread on the server, or singleplayer.
