Enhanced Block Entities

EBE is a fully client-side Minecraft mod for the Fabric platform that significantly improves the rendering performance of block entities and provides customization options through resource packs.

How It Works

The mod replaces slow entity models with optimized baked block models for certain block entities.

More Than Just Optimization

EBE is not just an optimization mod. Thanks to its improvements, you get numerous visual benefits:

• Smooth lighting on block entities
• Ability to redesign the appearance of block entities using block models
• Control over additional features like Christmas chests
• Visibility of block entities at maximum distance

Animations Are Preserved!

The best part — all animations remain in place! You get the performance of baked models while keeping smooth animations. Most animated block entity models only render when absolutely necessary.

Compatibility

EBE version 0.10.2+ works with Sodium 0.6+ without requiring additional mods.

For earlier EBE versions, use Indium with Sodium 0.5.11 or below.

Requires Fabric API

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I need help with the mod/need to report a bug!

A: If you're having problems setting up the mod or its compatibility with other mods, we recommend joining our Discord server. If the issue is a BUG — report it in the Issues section.

Q: Chest animations are working incorrectly!

A: You're probably using Sodium, which doesn't support some Fabric rendering features by default. For EBE to work with Sodium, install Indium.

Q: My chests are invisible!

A: You might have a resource pack installed that conflicts with EBE. Open the block entity settings (through EBE in Mod Menu or in graphics settings) and enable the "Force Resource Pack Compatibility" option.

Q: How is this different from FastChest?

A: FastChest doesn't preserve chest animations and only optimizes chests. EBE also optimizes other block entities:

• Ender Chests
• Signs
• Bells
• Beds
• Shulker Boxes
• Decorated Pots
