TradeHall Villagers Optimizer
A client side mod that boosts your FPS in trade halls. If you keep a big crowd of villagers at your base, the game wastes a ton of resources drawing every single one of them, even the ones you can't actually see. This mod simply stops rendering them until you need them.
Everything runs on your client only. You don't need it on the server, and it doesn't touch trading or the villagers themselves in any way. They stay where they are and keep working like normal. The only thing that changes is whether they get drawn on your screen or not.
Features
Smart hiding. The mod checks whether a villager is actually visible. If it's fully hidden behind blocks (a wall, another building), its model and hitbox are not rendered. The moment you move so it comes back into view, it shows up again.
Distance hiding. You set a distance in blocks, and villagers farther than that won't be drawn until you get closer. Great for big farms and trade halls where half the villagers are on the other side anyway.
Both features toggle separately, so you can keep only what you actually want.
