Enhanced Block Entities is a client-side mod designed to significantly improve the performance of block entity rendering in Minecraft, addressing the common issue of FPS lag caused by these elements. By optimizing how block entities are processed and displayed, this mod aims to provide a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience without substantial compromises. It tackles the performance bottlenecks that can arise from complex block entity models, allowing players to maintain higher frame rates even in situations with numerous block entities present, thereby enhancing overall gameplay fluidity and responsiveness. This mod operates by employing a clever optimization technique: it makes certain block entities utilize baked block models instead of the more performance-intensive entity models. This fundamental change in rendering approach is the core of its effectiveness. Beyond just performance, this shift also introduces several visual improvements, such as enabling smooth lighting on block entities, allowing for custom remodeling of block entities using block models, and offering the ability to toggle specific features like Christmas chests. Furthermore, it enhances visibility by allowing block entities to be seen from greater distances, contributing to a more immersive and visually appealing game world. Enhanced Block Entities is compatible with Minecraft versions 1.20.4, 1.20.5, 1.20.6, 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3, and 1.21.4. It is designed exclusively for the Fabric and Quilt mod loaders. This mod is strictly a client-side enhancement, meaning it is required on the client only and is unsupported on the server. It is designed to work with Sodium 0.6+ without additional mods. For earlier EBE versions, users should pair it with Sodium 0.5.11 or below and install Indium. Fabric API is a mandatory requirement for this mod to function correctly. To install Enhanced Block Entities, place the mod file into the 'mods' folder of your Minecraft installation. Ensure that you have the correct version of the Fabric or Quilt mod loader installed, along with the required Fabric API. Before launching the game, verify that your Minecraft version matches the mod's compatibility list and that you have the appropriate version of Sodium installed if you are using it. If you encounter issues with chest animations, installing Indium alongside Sodium is recommended. For resource pack conflicts causing invisible chests, enabling 'Force Resource Pack Compatibility' in the Block Entity Settings menu is advised.
