Enhanced Block Entities Mod FAQ

It replaces the way Minecraft renders certain block entities—like chests, signs, beds, shulker boxes, bells, and decorated pots—with optimized models instead of the default entity renderer. This reduces lag and boosts FPS, especially in areas with lots of these blocks, while keeping their normal animations.

The mod is designed to work alongside a rendering optimization mod like Sodium, and it typically needs an entity-rendering API such as Entity Model Features or the Fabric rendering API depending on your loader. Check the mod's dependencies on its download page and install them together.

You should notice higher FPS in storage rooms and other block-entity-heavy areas, and chests, signs, and beds should still open and animate normally. If a block looks flat, static, or wrong, the mod may be conflicting with a resource pack or another rendering mod.

This usually happens when a resource pack or another mod overrides the block entity models in a way Enhanced Block Entities can't handle. Try disabling other rendering mods or resource packs one at a time to find the conflict, and make sure your resource pack is compatible with the mod's model format.

Yes, Enhanced Block Entities is built to work with resource packs, so packs that provide models for these blocks will apply. If a pack doesn't support the mod's optimized format, the block may fall back to a default or broken appearance.

No, the mod is designed to keep the original animations, like chests opening and shulker boxes opening, while improving performance. If animations are missing, it's almost always a resource pack or mod conflict rather than the mod itself.

It optimizes chests, Ender chests, signs, bells, beds, shulker boxes, and decorated pots. Other block entities are not affected by this mod.

Yes, the mod includes configuration options that let you control which block types use the optimized rendering. You can usually find these settings in the mod's config file or in-game config menu, depending on your mod loader.

Yes, that's one of its main benefits—large rooms full of chests and other block entities are exactly where the optimized models help most. The improvement is usually most noticeable when many of these blocks are visible on screen at once.

It's generally designed to work with Sodium and similar rendering mods, but OptiFine and some other mods can conflict because they handle block entity rendering differently. If you see visual glitches, test with only Enhanced Block Entities and its required dependencies enabled to isolate the issue.
