Fluid Void Fading Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

Do I need to install this mod on my server?
No, Fluid Void Fading is client-side only, so you only need to install it on your client. Your server doesn't need the mod for it to work.
Why isn't my lava fading into the void?
Some fluids like lava need to be manually added to the configuration file to render transparently. Check your config folder and add the fluid's name to enable fading for it.
Will this mod work with fluids from other mods?
Yes, the mod is automatically compatible with modded fluids. If a custom fluid doesn't fade properly, you can add it to the configuration file.
Can I use this mod with Sodium?
Currently, Fluid Void Fading is incompatible with Sodium. You'll need to use a different rendering mod or disable Sodium if you want to use this mod.
How do I create a waterfall that flows into the void?
Build your waterfall structure at the edge of the world so water flows off the edge; the mod will automatically render it fading smoothly into the void instead of cutting off abruptly.
Does this mod affect my FPS?
The mod is designed to be lightweight, but rendering multiple void-fading fluids can impact performance. You can optimize by limiting the number of active void-fading fluids or adjusting render distance.
What does the transparent tail effect look like?
Instead of fluids stopping abruptly at the world edge, they form a gradually fading transparent column that blends smoothly into nothingness, creating a seamless visual effect.
Can I disable void fading for specific fluids?
Yes, you can edit the configuration file to remove fluids from the fading list or disable the mod entirely for fluids you don't want affected.
Does this work in multiplayer?
Yes, since it's client-side only, it works in multiplayer without requiring any server-side changes. Other players won't need the mod installed.
Why do some fluids look cut off at the bottom of the world without this mod?
Minecraft normally renders fluids as solid blocks that stop at the world boundary, creating a floating appearance. This mod extends that rendering to create a transparent fade effect instead.
