Frequently asked questions

How do I open the entity view distance settings?

Go to Options, then Video Settings, and look for the Entity Distance Settings button. From there you can adjust visibility per entity type without leaving the game.

What does the /entityviewdistance command do?

It lets you view and change entity render distances directly from chat, which is faster than clicking through menus. Use it to set a global value or target specific entity types.

Do I need this mod on the server too?

No. It works client-side or server-side independently, so you can connect to vanilla servers or let vanilla clients join your server. Installing it on both sides just gives you more control.

Why are my entities still disappearing even after I increased the distance?

The server's own entity tracking range can override your client setting, so if the server isn't sending the entity to you, no client tweak will show it. On singleplayer or a server you control, raise the server-side value too.
