Enhanced Block Entities — FAQ

FAQ & Troubleshooting

What does Enhanced Block Entities do? It redraws blocks like chests, beds, signs, bells, shulker boxes, and decorated pots as fast baked block models instead of the slow per-frame block-entity renderer, which greatly reduces the lag those blocks cause.

Does it change how the blocks look or work? No. Chests still open, bells still ring, shulker boxes still open, and decorated pots still wobble. The look and behaviour stay the same; only the drawing method changes.

Which blocks does it optimize? Chests, trapped chests, ender chests, shulker boxes, beds, signs, bells, and decorated pots - each can be toggled on or off individually.

Will it help my frame rate? Yes, especially where many block entities are on screen at once, such as large storage halls. That is exactly the situation vanilla rendering handles poorly.

Is it safe for my existing world? Yes. It only affects rendering, so you can add or remove it at any time without harming your world.

Can I customize how the blocks look? Yes. Because these blocks are now real models, resource packs can give them fully custom shapes and textures.

Does it change gameplay? No. There are no new recipes, items, or mechanics - it is purely a rendering optimization and customization mod.

A block looks wrong - what do I do? Open the configuration screen and turn off the optimization for that specific block type; the rest stay optimized.
