Sodium/Rubidium Occlusion Culling Fix
🎉 The issue has been officially fixed in Sodium version 0.5.0. You will no longer need this mod.
This modification resolves bug MC-70850 for Minecraft 1.18 and above, properly fixing issues with occlusion culling.
Although Mojang fixed this problem in version 1.17, it reappeared after installing Sodium or Rubidium, requiring a repeat fix.
⚠️ Important note: This fix may slightly impact performance. If you experience FPS drops, try removing this mod first before blaming Sodium.
Compatibility
For Forge
Requires Rubidium: The issue doesn't exist without Rubidium. In that case, the mod won't be needed.
For Fabric
Requires Sodium: The issue doesn't exist without Sodium. In that case, the mod won't be needed.
Effect
The chunk with the "VISIBLE" text was hidden in the standard game version due to bug MC-70850. Mojang fixed this in 1.17, Sodium brought the problem back, and this mod fixed it again. Test saves for checking the bug can be found on Mojira.
Side Effects
Despite being an almost correct fix, it doesn't fully align with the original code's intent. This may lead to minor performance loss, but no significant FPS drops have been detected.
Related Information
This mod only fixes MC-70850. Another similar issue, MC-63020, was resolved in version 1.16.
Incompatibilities
None detected so far.
