Selective Render
Selective Render is a client-side Fabric mod that lets you create block-accurate regions anywhere in a Minecraft world and choose what stays visible. Render selected areas, hide regions you do not want to see, or filter individual block types by their IDs or tags. Hiding large parts of the world can also improve FPS, depending on what is hidden and your setup. It changes what you see and target, not the world itself.
Requirements
Fabric Loader, Fabric API, and Sodium are required. Iris is optional. Install the file that matches your game and loader setup.
Commands
Use /sr or /selectiverender. Commands without a listed key have no dedicated default binding.
