    About

    (Sodium) Sightline is a client-side performance mod that reduces rendering work left over after ordinary chunk culling, by skipping objects and effects that are hidden, distant, or needlessly detailed. It stops drawing entities and block entities fully hidden behind opaque blocks, and can also cull block entities whose bounding boxes are off screen; uncertain visibility checks fail open, so unchecked targets continue to render. Distance trims limit nameplates, sign text, item frames, and dropped items, while configurable render-distance scales let players adjust how far different entity and block-entity types are drawn. Sightline removes shared interior faces between leaf blocks of the same type, with an option to apply the trim across different leaf types. During particle-heavy scenes, it progressively suppresses new ambient particles such as rain, splashes, smoke, and spores, while leaving other particle types alone. A debug overlay reports how many things were occluded, distance-trimmed, or shed each tick, and identifies hooks that failed to attach.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 1 file in your config folder.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · All 6 latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      6 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 6 are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · All 6 files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of all 6 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.

    We have not read its changelogs and code history yet.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
