Entity Culling

Entity Culling is a performance mod created by tr7zw. Skips rendering entities and block entities that are not visible to the player, improving FPS in entity-heavy areas. As a performance mod it concentrates on frame rate, loading times, and memory use, and it has been downloaded around 40 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.

Entity Culling is built for players whose frame rate drops near farms, crowds, or large bases. It skips rendering entities and block entities hidden behind blocks, recovering frames in exactly the situations that usually cause lag. It is approachable enough to drop into a world and use right away, with little setup required.

The mod is available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently supports Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.20.4, and 1.21.1, spanning the 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 releases. It is a client-side mod, which means you can add it to your own game for personal benefit even when the server you join does not run it.

Entity Culling works particularly well alongside Sodium and ImmediatelyFast. Because it ships for both Fabric and Forge-family loaders, it slots into most popular modpacks regardless of which side they are built on.

As a performance mod, Entity Culling is meant to improve how the game runs rather than change gameplay, so it is generally safe to combine with other optimisation mods.

If you are comparing options, similar mods include Dynamic FPS and More Culling. They cover comparable ground, so the right choice usually comes down to your loader, version, and the rest of your pack.
