Bobby Mod Wiki & Guide

Bobby Mod allows rendering chunks at a distance beyond the server’s limit by recording and saving them in .minecraft/.bobby. It can also load chunks from an existing single-player world that the server hasn’t sent before.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get Bobby to start saving chunks?

Just play normally on a server with Bobby installed — it records chunks the server sends you into .minecraft/.bobby automatically. There's no button to press; the more you explore, the more distant terrain gets cached for later.

Where does Bobby store the chunks it saves?

In the .minecraft/.bobby folder, organized per server or world. You can back up or delete that folder to reset what Bobby remembers.

Why do distant chunks disappear when I rejoin a server?

Bobby only renders chunks it has already recorded, so areas you never visited won't appear. If chunks you did visit vanish, check that the .bobby folder wasn't cleared and that the server address matches the one you originally played on.

How do I make Bobby render farther than the server's view distance?

Set your client render distance higher than the server's view distance in video settings, and Bobby will fill the extra range with locally cached chunks. The server still only sends its own limit, so anything beyond that comes from Bobby's saved data.
