Entities are one of the most resource intensive elements of your world. And to limit the performance fall caused by them, the game only renders entities in a limited radius around the player. This means, if you play with a higher render distance, you will not see any mobs on chunks that are far away from you. You will not be able to see mobs in far away chunks unless you move closer to that chunk. Even if you zoom in on a far away chunk using a spyglass, you will not see any entities there. But when you move there, you will see entities starting to render. Spyglass Entity Distance Mod makes it so that the entity render radius around the player is increased when a player uses a spyglass. With this, players will be able to locate far away entities without having them always rendered.
