Render Scroll
Render Scroll lets you change your render distance instantly using your scroll wheel, without pausing the game or opening video settings.
When Render Scroll is enabled, scrolling up increases render distance and scrolling down decreases it. The current render distance is shown in chat after each change.
This is similar to the old F3 + F behavior from Minecraft 1.16, but using the scroll wheel instead.
Features
- Change render distance without opening settings
- Uses the mouse scroll wheel
- Shows the new render distance in chat
- Toggleable keybind
- Client-side only
Controls
The default toggle key is U.
You can change the keybind in Minecraft’s controls menu.
