NoFog Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on NoFog Mod?
There's nothing to turn on — the mod removes fog automatically as soon as it's loaded. Just launch the game with the mod installed and the fog will already be gone.
Does NoFog Mod need any config or settings?
No, the mod has no in-game settings or config file to edit. It works out of the box, so if fog is still showing, the problem is usually a conflict or a wrong install rather than a missing toggle.
Will NoFog Mod increase my FPS?
The mod itself doesn't boost FPS — it removes fog so you can see farther at the same render distance. The performance gain comes from keeping your render distance low while still seeing distant terrain.
What render distance should I use with NoFog Mod?
Keep your render distance low, since that's the whole point of the mod. Even a small render distance lets you see much farther once the fog is gone, so you get the visibility without the performance cost.
Why can I see the edge of the world now?
That's expected — the fog was hiding the point where loaded chunks end. With fog removed, you'll see the world border of your render distance, so pair the mod with a render distance you're comfortable with.
Does NoFog Mod remove water and lava fog too?
Yes, it removes distance fog along with water, lava, and powder snow fog. That means underwater and in lava you'll see much farther than in vanilla.
Is NoFog Mod compatible with OptiFine or Sodium?
It generally works alongside performance mods, but fog-related features in those mods can overlap or conflict. If fog reappears, check whether another mod is re-adding fog and disable that option.
NoFog Mod isn't working, fog is still there — what do I do?
First confirm the mod is actually loaded for your game version, then check for other mods or resource packs that add fog back. A common cause is a shader pack or another fog mod overriding it.
Does NoFog Mod work on servers or multiplayer?
It's a client-side visual mod, so it changes what you see without affecting the server. Other players won't see any difference, and you don't need it installed on the server.
Can I use NoFog Mod with shaders?
Shaders often handle fog themselves, so they may override the mod and bring fog back. If you want the no-fog effect with shaders, look for a shader setting that disables fog or turn shaders off.
