Block Dithering Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on block fading?
Open the mod settings menu (usually accessible from the pause menu or main menu) and the fading effect is enabled by default. If blocks aren't fading when you walk close to them, check that Fade Distance is set to a value greater than zero.
Why can't I see through faded blocks?
Faded blocks use dithering, which creates a transparent pattern rather than solid transparency—you should see the area behind them through the dotted effect. If you see completely solid blocks, try increasing Minimum Visibility or decreasing Fade Distance to trigger the effect at closer range.
Can I make only certain blocks fade, like glass or leaves?
Yes, use the Whitelist feature in settings and add the block IDs or tags you want to fade (for example, `minecraft:glass` or `#minecraft:leaves`). When whitelist mode is active, only the blocks you specify will fade.
How do I stop specific blocks from fading?
Use the Blacklist feature and add those block IDs, tags, or wildcards (for example, `minecraft:obsidian` or `minecraft:*ore*`). Blacklisted blocks will never fade out, even when you're standing directly in front of them.
Does this mod work with Sodium and shaders?
Yes, Block Dithering Mod is fully compatible with Sodium and Iris shaders. The dithering effect applies on top of your rendering setup without conflicts.
Will this mod work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, the mod runs entirely on your client side, so servers don't need to install or enable anything. You can use it on any server without permission or setup.
How do I make the dithering dots smaller or less obvious?
Lower the Pixel Size slider in the settings menu—smaller values create finer, less noticeable dot patterns. You can adjust this in real-time without restarting your game.
What does Fade Distance actually control?
Fade Distance sets how close you need to stand to a block before it starts becoming transparent. Higher values mean blocks fade from farther away; lower values mean you have to be almost touching them.
Can I use wildcards in the whitelist or blacklist?
Yes, you can use wildcards like `minecraft:*copper*` to match multiple blocks at once. This is useful for filtering entire block families without listing each one individually.
Do I need to restart my game to apply setting changes?
No, all changes to fade distance, pixel size, minimum visibility, and filter lists apply immediately in-game without requiring a world reload or restart.
