Bobby Reforged

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

Project overview

Bobby Reforged is an unofficial Forge port of Bobby, a mod which allows for render distances greater than the server's view-distance setting, even after rejoining the server. It accomplishes this goal by recording and storing (in .minecraft/.bobby) all chunks sent by the server, which it then can load and display at a later point when the chunk is outside the server's view-distance. Please direct bug reports, questions, and everything else to the Github page linked to this Curseforge page, not the Fabric mod. The original maintainer, Johni0702, will not be providing any support. Optionally, it can also use an existing single player world to load in chunks which the server has never sent before. To make use of this feature, simply rename the world folder (not the name of the world! the name of its folder!) to "bobby-fallback". This mod supports Rubidium and Oculus. This mod is incompatible with Farsight, which does the same thing without saving chunk data.

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

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

The latest stored update signal is Feb 1, 2025. Older projects can still work well, but they deserve extra compatibility testing before being added to a current world or public server.

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.
