# Enhanced Block Entities Newer<\/p>\n
**Adds compatibility for Minecraft 1.21.2\u20131.21.10**<\/p>\n
**contact–> discord-> gfwilliam If you encounter any errors or bugs, please let me know.**<\/p>\n
**this project forked at ebe**<\/p>\n
EBE is a **100% client side** Minecraft mod for the **Fabric** mod loader which aims to increase the performance of block entity rendering, as well as offer customizability via resource packs. <\/p>\n
**How does it work?** EBE Makes some block entities use baked block models rather than laggy entity models. <\/p>\n
**Is it just an optimization mod?** EBE isn’t *just* an optimization mod, some side effects of its optimizations are many visual improvements.
\nThese may include:
\n– Smooth lighting on block entities
\n– Being able to remodel block entities with block models
\n– Toggling features like christmas chests
\n– Being able to see block entities from as far away as possible<\/p>\n
**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. <\/p>\n
**Can I use it with Sodium?** Yes.<\/p>\n
– EBE 0.10.2 and above are **fully compatible with Sodium 0.6+**
\n– Earlier EBE versions require installing Indium along with Sodium 0.5.11 or below.<\/p>\n
## Downloading the mod<\/p>\n
For stable releases, you can check out the CurseForge or Modrinth page. If you want the newest bleeding edge build, you can use GitHub Actions (or alternatively, you can build yourself). This mod requires Fabric API <\/p>\n
## FAQ and Help<\/p>\n
**Q: I need help with the mod\/need to report a bug!**
\n**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)<\/p>\n
**Q: Does this mod glitch the chest animation or turn chests invisible?**
\n**A:** This bug has been completely eradicated in EBE versions 0.5 and above. If the issue still persists (it shouldn’t), leave an issue on GitHub or join the Discord Server. The chest lid may flash when using with Sodium. <\/p>\n
**Q: My chests are still invisible!**
\n**A:** You’re likely using a Sodium version lower than 0.4, which doesn’t support certain Fabric Rendering features by default. If you need to use a Sodium version lower than 0.4 with EBE, you should install Indium. <\/p>\n

## Is your mod incompatible with EBE?
\nIf you are the developer of a mod that makes changes to block entity rendering, your mod will be broken by EBE. Fortunately, EBE provides an API that allows you to force-disable its features, allowing your mod to function instead.
