Frequently asked questions

How do I know if Better Block Entities is actually working?

Watch a chest, sign, or bed while it's idle — the mod converts it to a static mesh, so nearby FPS should rise compared to before. You can also open the config menu and check that optimization is enabled for the block types you care about.

Do I need to configure anything, or does it work out of the box?

It works out of the box with sensible defaults for supported block entities. Configuration is only needed if you want to disable optimization for a specific block type or resolve a conflict with another mod.

Why do my chests and signs still animate if the mod is supposed to optimize them?

The mod keeps the original animations and only converts a block entity to a mesh while it's inactive. When the block becomes active again (for example, a chest opening), it reverts to normal rendering so animations still play.

How do I disable optimization for just one block type?

Open the mod's config menu and toggle the individual block entity category you want to exclude, such as chests or signs. Changes apply per block type, so you don't have to turn off the whole mod.
