How to install Farsight on a Minecraft Forge/NeoForge server


Summary 
Installing Farsight on a Minecraft Forge server allows players to see chunks beyond their regular render distance, giving them a better view of the world and making exploration more immersive. It improves performance by offloading distant chunk rendering, which is especially useful on larger servers where players are spread out. Farsight also helps reduce lag, as the server no longer has to send data for chunks that do not need to be interactable but are still visible.

Requirement
The Forge/NeoForge modloader must be installed.
Forge | NeoForge
