Enhanced Block Entities (Backforged)
EBE is a 100% client side Minecraft mod for the Forge mod loader which aims to increase the performance of block entity rendering, as well as offer customizability via resource packs. Fork of EBE by FoundationGames.
How does it work? EBE Makes some block entities use baked block models rather than laggy entity models.
Is it just an optimization mod? EBE isn't just an optimization mod, some side effects of its optimizations are many visual improvements.
These may include:
- Smooth lighting on block entities
- Being able to remodel block entities with block models
- Toggling features like christmas chests
- Being able to see block entities from as far away as possible
What about animations? The best part about EBE is that you still get to keep animations, while gaining the performance boost of baked models! Most animated block entity models will only render when absolutely necessary.
Can I use it with Embeddium or Rubidium? Yes you can, Indium is included in the ForgedAPI Fork
Requires ForgedAPI Fork and BRRP 0.8.2 (1.0.0 WILL NOT WORK)
FAQ and Help
Q: Installing EBE alongside Embeddium Extras breaks chest models!
A: This is a known issue. Embeddium Extras' Fast Chest feature and EBE chest models use same file location. This can be fixed by installing a EBE compatible chests resource pack. I strongly recommend using EBE Models Optimized Pack because it adds some essential optimizations from future releases of EBE
Q: I need help with the mod/need to report a bug!
A: If you're having trouble setting up the mod or using it alongside other mods, I'd recommend you join our Discord Server and ask for help there. If the issue is a BUG please report it on our issue tracker ("Issues" tab at the top of the page)
Q: How is this different from FastChest?
A: FastChest does not preserve chest animations, and only optimizes chests (in a similar way to EBE). EBE also optimizes other block entities:
- Ender Chests
- Signs
- Bells
- Beds
- Shulker Boxes (Backported)
Q: 1.18.2/1.19.2?
A: Use ccr4ft3r's awesome EBE Forge port
Q: 1.20.x?
A: Use EBE via Connector

A decent frame rate increase! (I'm too lazy to count the percentage)
Resource Packs
You can edit EBE's block entity models using resource packs, since they have been converted to conventional .json block models.
