Installing in the correct profile

The complete separate DE/EN manuals are in 02_Install in the complete package; product information and terms of use are in 01_Info.

Client JARs belong in the mod folder actually loaded by your installation. If your Iris/Sodium profile uses the reserved folder, place the JAR for Minecraft 26.3 directly in %APPDATA%\.minecraft\iris-reserved\26.3. Do not create an additional mods subfolder. Other Fabric profiles or launchers may use other folders; Iris and Sodium do not require this path in every installation.

Before making changes, close Minecraft, replace the old mod version in the relevant profile, provide matching dependencies and start that exact profile. Install server JARs and Realm datapacks according to their own instructions.

Features

  • By default, real item models remain visible up to and including ten blocks away.
  • More distant item groups appear as circles with up to four colours.
  • Circles remain 0.5 blocks in size, including their outline.
  • Solid walls hide the markers.
  • Vanilla view distance and the server entity range remain authoritative.
  • Rendering can be enabled and disabled locally.
03

What stays unchanged

All real items remain fully present. Quantity, pickup, physics, server logic and network traffic are unchanged.

The mod optimises rendering only on your own client. No specific FPS gain or improvement in server TPS is promised.

Resource packs may affect item colours and model sizes. The mod requires neither Copper Filter Hopper nor a server-side installation.
