Overview
Installing Farsight on Minecraft Fabric enhances the multiplayer experience by allowing players to see chunks loaded by others, even if they have not traveled there. This significantly improves gameplay on massive servers, reducing the need for repeated loading of the same chunks and helping with performance. Additionally, it provides a more seamless and immersive experience, making the world feel more extensive and connected as players can see distant areas already explored by others.
