Enhanced Block Entities Backforged
Enhanced Block Entities Backforged is a fully client-side mod for Minecraft that works with the Forge mod loader. Its main purpose is to significantly improve the performance of block entity rendering while providing customization options through resource packs. This is a fork of the original EBE project by FoundationGames.
How does the mod work?
The mod replaces slow entity models with optimized baked block models for certain block entities. This allows you to keep all animations while getting a substantial performance boost.
