Minecraft is a sandbox video game developed by the Swedish video game developer Mojang Studios. The game was created by Markus "Notch" Persson in the Java programming language. Following several early private testing versions, it was first made public in May 2009 before fully releasing in November 2011, with Jens Bergensten then taking over development. Minecraft has since been ported to several other platforms and is the best-selling video game of all time, with over 238 million copies sold and nearly 140 million monthly active users as of 2021. Minecraft Players noticed that the fog effect was quite pronounced in the latest Caves & Cliffs update. This reduces your vision and allows slower hardware to render the world for the player correctly. You can find this effect in many games, namely Silent Hill 2 and Morrowind. Some players enjoyed this effect to improve the atmosphere, while others disliked it. That is why this guide will show you how to turn off the fog in Minecraft.

Its special thing is that if most players do not like it then Mojang this effect can be removed. But so far nothing has been seen that someone dislikes this effect and wants to remove it. But if you want to do so, let's dive right in and see how to turn off fog in Minecraft.

Minecraft: How to Turn Off Fog

For information, let us tell you that this effect cannot be removed by changing any setting in the game. So you'll have to change the game's files to be missing - or less obvious. There are a few ways to clear fog, but we'll start with the easiest one first.

Alter the Server Properties

The first thing that you should do is to change the server properties.

• Go to the Aternos webpage
• Choose the server that you are playing on
• Select Files
• Press on server.properties
• Look for view-distance
• Increase its value according to your preference

After altering these settings, you will notice that the fog effect is gone, and the world renders like it used to.

Use OptiFine to Increase Render Distance

Alternatively, you can use the OptiFine mod. This mod offers various settings by which you can change the render distance in the game. You can set the distance accordingly, and the fog will disappear.

• Download Optifine
• Start the Installer Program and run it
• Launch Minecraft and choose OptiFine from the menu
• Hit Play
• Right click the Minecraft Launcher and choose the Optifine profile setting

Install Resource Packs

Finally, you can install various resource packs to remove the fog as well. If you do not want to use Optifine and cannot change the server settings, this is a great alternative. The pack in question is one that was made specifically for this purpose. It is called Remove Fog 1.18 and it does exactly that. First of all, you must:

1. Download the resource pack
2. Open the folder to which you downloaded the file
3. Copy the .zip file
4. Open Minecraft
5. In Minecraft, click on Options, then Resource Packs
6. Choose Open resource pack folder
7. Paste the file into the resource folder in Minecraft
8. Go back to Minecraft, the resource pack should now be listed

However, if you have the Java version, you must:

1. Download the resource pack you want
2. Copy the file you downloaded
3. Press Win + R. A window titled Run should appear
4. In the textbox inside the Run window, type %appdata% and click Ok
5. In the folder that just appeared, open the .minecraft folder
6. In the .minecraft folder, open the resourcepacks folder
7. Paste the resource pack in this folder
8. Open Minecraft, select Options, then Resource Packs, select your resource pack and select done

Once you have installed the pack, you will have to change some settings to remove the fog.

• Open remove fog 1.18 and above.zip
• Go to assets> minecraft > shaders > include > fog.glsl
• At row 8, you will find:
  • float fogValue
• Change the values accordingly. 0.0 is no fog

You even have the option to adjust visibility in the Nether, underwater, in lava, and adjust the blindness effect.

All of these methods should work and are easy to do. Other than that, there is no alternate way to remove the fog. Hope you will be satisfied with this article. Don’t forget to bookmark our page if you want to read more game updates and news
