RenderFast
A professional, high-performance chunk pre-generator for Minecraft (Fabric).
RenderFast eliminates chunk-loading stutter by pre-generating terrain before you start exploring. Its fully asynchronous loading pipeline is built to saturate your CPU and SSD, while aggressive watchdog protection and adaptive throttling keep the server stable.
[!IMPORTANT] RenderFast includes native support for Voxy (Iris LOD) and Distant Horizons, so LOD data is correctly finalized and saved during pre-generation without overloading the async pipeline.
[!CAUTION] PERFORMANCE IMPACT: Generating chunks is a heavy task. While preloading is active you may see lower TPS and occasional stutters. Use Turbo Mode with extreme caution, as it bypasses all safety limits.
Key Features
- Extreme Speed: Fully asynchronous pipeline with "Immediate Refill" logic and throttling to prevent main-thread hangs.
- Watchdog Breather & Lag Recovery: Yields to the server before a slow tick can trigger the 60s Watchdog crash, then waits for the server to recover before resuming.
- Smart Throttling: Real-time monitoring of TPS, RAM (with Auto-GC), and disk space.
- LOD Mod Sync: Native integration with Voxy and Distant Horizons.
- Map Mod Sync: Support for BlueMap, Dynmap, and Xaero's Map.
- Multi-Dimension Sequencing: Moves from Overworld to Nether to End in a configurable order.
- Priority POIs: Generate specific coordinates or structures before the main spiral.
- Detailed HUD: Progress bar with pause reasons (LOW RAM, BUSY TICK, LAG RECOVERY), speed, and ETA.
- Lighting Fix Mode: A light-only engine that fixes dark/black chunks in existing worlds.
- Player Safety Bubble: Force-loads the area around online players to prevent exploration lag.
- Full Control: Every setting is available through in-game commands or a custom Pause Menu UI.

ram <%> |
RAM threshold (1-100) before auto-pausing. |
disk <MB> |
Minimum free disk space required to run. |
timeout <sec> |
Seconds before a "stuck" chunk is retried. |
safety <radius> |
Player safety loading radius (0-16). |
saveinterval <val> |
Chunks between forced world saves. |
workhours <start> <end> |
Active hours (0-23). |
status <status> |
Target generation depth (default: minecraft:features). |
Configuration Screen
Open the visual settings via Mod Menu, a keybind in your Controls menu, or the RF button in the Pause (ESC) menu (left of the Options button).
Requirements
- Minecraft: 26.2
- Loader: Fabric
- Dependencies: Fabric API, Cloth Config
Good to Know
- Speed vs. Quality: The default
minecraft:featuresstatus generates terrain, trees, and ores at roughly 2x the speed offull. It's recommended for standard survival pre-generation. - Turbo Mode: Best used on empty servers. It ignores TPS and Busy Tick checks to maximize SSD write speed.
- Singleplayer Pause: Opening the Escape menu freezes the world, which also pauses generation. Stay in the Options or RenderFast Config screen if you want preloading to continue.
