What Entity Culling does
Using async path-tracing to hide Block-/Entities that are not visible
Minecraft skips rendering things that are behind you, so why is it rendering everything that you still can't see because of walls or ceilings in the way?

Does it go on the server or on players' games?
Entity Culling is a client-only mod: it doesn't run on the server. Each player installs it in their own Minecraft if they want it. Add it in the panel as "Players only" and it ships inside everyone's modpack.

What other mods it needs
None: its latest version doesn't require any other mods on Modrinth.
How to add Entity Culling to your server
- Open the panel and create a world with a compatible loader and Minecraft version (Fabric, NeoForge and Forge, per the table above), or open one you already have.
- In the world's "Mods" section, search for Entity Culling in the Modrinth catalog. You'll only see what works with your world.
- Add it with the "Players only" option, the one the panel suggests for this mod.
- Start or restart the server so it installs.
- Ask your friends to download the .mrpack modpack from the panel again.

Is it worth adding Entity Culling to the server if it's client-only?
