Cullify

🍃 What is Cullify?

Cullify is a client-side mod that culls decorative vegetation blocks (such as grass, flowers, ferns, algae, and kelp) based on distance from the player and customizable geometric shapes. By preventing distant or non-visible vegetation blocks from rendering, it reduces rendering load (vertex throughput and draw calls) without altering or removing the actual blocks in the world.

✨ Features

• ⚙️ Vegetation Culling — Reduces rendering load by hiding vegetation blocks that are beyond a configured distance.
• 📐 8 Geometric Culling Shapes — Customizable boundaries to control culling behavior around the player.
• 📉 LOD Density Filter — Deterministic, hash-based density filtering that thins out outer vegetation (75%, 50%, or 25%) to save CPU overhead near the boundary.
• 🌿 Double-Tall Vegetation Support — Synchronizes culling between the bottom and top halves of double-tall blocks (like sunflowers or tall grass) to prevent visual discrepancies.
• ⚙️ In-Game Config Menu — A configuration screen accessible via the K keybind, chat commands, or the NeoForge mods menu.
• 📊 Real-Time Statistics HUD — On-screen overlay tracking culled blocks, water replacements, chunk updates, and draw calls.
• 🧪 Native Sodium Compatibility — Direct hooks into Sodium’s internal LevelSlice rendering pipeline and Sodium Options API.

📐 Geometric Culling Shapes

Unlike traditional culling mods, Cullify offers flexible mathematical boundary checks on both the horizontal plane (X/Z) and the vertical axis (Y):

| Icon | Shape | Geometry Mode | Description |
| :—: | :— | :— | :— |
| 🟢 | Sphere | 3D Sphere | Culls blocks outside a 3D spherical radius. |
| 🌀 | Cylinder | Cylinder | Culls blocks outside a horizontal circular radius (infinite Y). |
| 📦 | Box | 3D Box | Culls blocks outside a 3D cubical bounding box. |
| 🔺 | Triangle | Triangle | Culls blocks outside an equilateral triangular boundary centered on the player. |
| ⬡ | Hexagon | Hexagon | Culls blocks outside a hexagonal boundary. |
| ⭐ | Star | Star | Culls blocks outside a 6-point star (union of two intersecting triangles). |
| ⏹️ | Square | Square | Culls blocks outside a flat square grid. |
| 🔵 | Circle | Circle | Culls blocks outside a flat horizontal circular boundary. |

🎮 Controls & Commands

Configuring and inspecting Cullify in-game is straightforward:

⌨️ Keybinds

• K — Opens the custom Cullify GUI Config Screen.

💬 Chat Commands

• /cullify menu — Opens the configuration GUI menu.
• /cullify benchmark — Performs a benchmark of the mod and displays the results in chat.
• /cullify debug — Toggles the real-time statistics HUD overlay.
• /cullify stats — Prints current performance statistics directly into the chat.
• /cullify verbose — Toggles verbose logging for debugging.
• /cullify reload — Forces a complete reload of the client level renderer chunks.

🔌 Compatibility & Requirements

• Sodium / Embeddium: Fully integrated. Hooks directly into Sodium’s internal LevelSlice rendering pipeline to batch-cull blocks in MDI (Multi-Draw Indirect) buffers. The Culling Shape options and configurations are also registered directly inside Sodium’s Video Settings menu!
• Vanilla Renderer: Fallback compatibility included for the standard Minecraft block rendering pipeline.
• 🔒 100% Client-Side: This mod runs entirely on your client. You can join any server (Vanilla, Spigot, Forge, Paper, etc.) without any issues!
