Farsight [Forge/Neo]

Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

Farsight is a client-side util which lets you see farther on servers than the servers view distance. It works by having the client keep the chunks even when the server unloads them, up to a max render distance of 64 chunks. Optionally from version 5.0+ you can also save the received chunks to the disk, which allows loading them for previewing even when the server did not load them yet. This is the Forge version of Farsight, for the Fabric version click here: Fabric Requires Cupboard dependency to be installed in newer versions Configurable max distance at which chunk data is kept It is only required on client side. No known incompatibilities, should work with any other mods. If sodium settings do not allow you to set render distance higher, press Shift+P inside sodium settings to access the original screen. If you enjoy this mod consider supporting the development, any support is greatly appreciated. The development is an unpaid free-time activity, so any support helps being able to spend more time on it. You can support me on Patreon, or just spreading the word around.

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Adventure and RPG, Cosmetic, Map and Information on NeoForge, Forge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The source record was updated on Jun 19, 2026, which is a recent freshness signal. A recent date does not guarantee support for every loader or Minecraft version, so still inspect the current file list.

What to verify before choosing a file

• Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
• Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
• Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
• Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
• Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
