Description

Ever built a nice custom decoration, turned your head slightly, and watched the whole thing blink out of existence? Yeah. That one. Fixed.

Tiny client side mod that stops armor stands and item frames from getting yoinked from existence. Drop it in and forget this bug exists.

Client side mod only, from 1.21.1 to 1.21.11

ON AND OFF comparison

Available on Modrinth Available on GitHub Works with Fabric

What does this mean?

Minecraft decides what to render using the hitbox, not what you actually see

  • An armor stand has a tiny hitbox. The model on top of it can be enormous, the game does not care
  • The second that little box slips off the edge of your screen, the entire decoration disappears
  • It is still clearly in view. It is just gone

The Problem (Missing Model Off Screen)

It hits furniture and wall decor the hardest

  • ItemsAdder and Oraxen furniture 🪑
  • Item frames used as wall decorations 🖼️
  • Basically any big resource pack model riding on an armor stand 🌴

ForceRender just tells the renderer to knock it off

  • Inside your configured distance, armor stands and item frames always render.
  • Walk away, and vanilla culling takes back over, so nothing is wasted on entities you cannot see anyway

Working Mod

Everything is tunable, nothing is forced on you (get it?)

  • Master toggle if you want to flip it off without uninstalling
  • Set the distance yourself, default is 5 blocks
  • Armor stands and item frames have separate switches, turn off whichever you do not need

Not Unloaded

Minecraft 1.21 to 26.2 Client side only

Installation

It takes about a minute (or less)

That is genuinely it. 🤯 (might take longer if you have no idea what you are doing)

Works on Minecraft 1.21.1 to 1.21.11

Open Mod Menu, find ForceRender, hit Settings

  • Everything is in one screen, there is not much to get lost in
Option Default What it does
Enabled On Master toggle for the whole mod
Render Distance 5 blocks Force render anything inside this range
Affect Armor Stands On Fix culling for armor stands
Affect Item Frames On Fix culling for item frames, normal and glow

FAQ

Does the server need this mod?

  • No. Fully client side, install it wherever you want

Will it tank my FPS?

  • Only entities inside your configured distance get touched, everything beyond that culls exactly like vanilla
  • If you are worried, lower the distance. That is what the slider is for

Does it work with Display Entities?

  • No. This targets ArmorStandEntity and AbstractDecorationEntity only
  • Display entities go through a different renderer, so they are outside what this mod hooks

Does it work with Sodium or Iris?

  • Yes, both. Tested and fine
