Installing Farsight on Minecraft Forge/NeoForge helps improve multiplayer experiences on servers by letting you see chunks loaded by other players, even if they’re far away. This reduces the need to reload chunks as you move closer, resulting in smoother exploration and lower lag. It enhances the view distance, making large buildings and landscapes easier to see without straining your system.
Requirement: The Forge or NeoForge modloader must be installed.
