[1.4_01]Optifog

[Heartview]

This mod is an FPS boosting mod, that alters the way fog is rendered in Minecraft. In vanilla MC, the fog is intrusive, ugly, and makes it hard to see anything while getting any amount of FPS boost out of it. This mod instead changes the way the fog is rendered, giving a much better look, while maintaining higher FPS even when playing on further render distances.

Features:

• Pushes the fog away from the player so that it is only visible as transition on the render limits.
• Uses a fast fog type on FAST and a better looking fog type on FANCY settings.
• Decreases the render distance a little to get the same visible depth as before. On FAST decreases it even more to compensate for bad fog on screen edges.

Another feature of the mod (which is an experimental, separate mod) includes Occlusion Culling. What this does, is stop the rendering of all objects outside of the players view zone. Other blocks will not be rendered. This mod is useful for using Far distances, and will have an even bigger boost to FPS when playing on Normal and Short distances.

Proof:

Vanilla Minecraft 1.4_01, Settings: Fast


Optifog Settings: Fancy


Optifog Settings: Fast


All of these screenshots were taken on Normal render distance. FPS will improve the shorter your render distance.

Installation:
Navigate to your .minecraft folder (Instructions for that)
In .minecraft/bin Right click your minecraft.jar and open it with an archiver such as 7zip/Winrar
Drag all .class files from the file you downloaded in.
DELETE THE META-INF FOLDER
Close, and test.

Standard Version:
Virustotal 0/21

Occlusion Culling (Experimental) version
Virustotal 0/42
Jotti 0/20

Keep in mind that you can only use one of these mods at a time. Do not install both of them at the same time and hope for something to happen. The experimental OC version may not work very good, and might not do anything at all, and might not work period. The standard version will however, so if you try the experimental version, and it doesnt work, use the standard version. This doesnt mean dont even try the experimental version, as theoretically it holds a very large boost in FPS. Just remember to make a back up of your minecraft.jar before installing it.
