Enhanced Block Entities Wiki & Guide

Overview

Enhanced Block Entities is a client-side rendering-optimization mod built around one idea: draw block entities the fast way. By default Minecraft renders certain blocks - chests, beds, signs, bells, shulker boxes, decorated pots, and similar - with a special per-frame renderer that redraws each one individually, every single frame. That approach is expensive, and a room full of these blocks can drag your frame rate down and cause stutter.

The mod rebuilds those blocks as ordinary baked block models that are drawn together with the rest of the world, the same way normal blocks like stone or planks are drawn. The visual result is meant to match the vanilla game - chests still open, bells still swing, shulker boxes still open, decorated pots still wobble - but the drawing is handled far more efficiently.

The mod changes only rendering. It does not touch gameplay, recipes, items, or world generation, so it is safe to add to or remove from an existing world at any time. As a bonus, because these blocks are now real models, resource packs can give them completely custom shapes and textures.
