Are you like me and have a really powerful computer and want to see everything in crystal clarity, but even at maximum view distance, the fog is still annoyingly close (especially when you want to take high rez screenshots!)
Well, if you feel up to extracting and repacking your minecraft.jar, I have a solution for you.
To extract your minecraft.jar:
cd lib md jar cd jar jar xvf ..\minecraft.jar
v.30 Update! When you extract you minecraft.jar, fire up a hex editor on the com\mojang\minecraft\l.class file. (Yes it has moved to a different class file)
Search for this piece of code:
11 02 00 19
-Skip gray section-
Old way for archive purposes:
When you extract you minecraft.jar, fire up a hex editor on the com\mojang\minecraft\k.class file.
At around byte 0x48b0, you'll see a sequence of bytes:
3a 09 11 02 00 19 09
The particular part that we're interested in is the 11 02 00
In java, this means:
(0x11) sipush (0x0200) 512
In this particular instance, 512 represents the maximum fog distance.
If we edit this and change the 02 to 14 (making the code read 11 14 00) the code will now read:
(0x11) sipush (0x1400) 5120
All of your fog distances will increase by 10 times. This means that the standard distances of 512, 128, 32 and 8 become now: 5120, 1280, 320 and 80.
You can also grab a calculator and work out your own new maximum distance and put its hex codes in place of the 0200 yourself to create a custom fog distance.
Repack the modified k.java into your minecraft.jar (make sure you don't include any signatures in the META-INF folder) the command line to do this would be:
del META-INF\*.DSA del META-INF\*.SF jar cvf ..\minecraft-new.jar *
EDIT: If you don't have the Java JDK installed, you won't have the jar utility. I have been informed that you can make do with winrar if you have it.
Have fun!

Combined with my skin is AMAZING. (my edited skin, which will be upped super soon!)
| | |
just tried it out with Daedal's skins and it is epicer than epic. It is awesome. Do it Do it Do it!
| | |
How on earth did you discover this?
| | |
Try to talk to Notch about implementing this as an option. Tell him the code and everything, because it'd be nice to see this as official.
| | |
What type of hex editor did you use?
 | | |
this is fantastic! well done triddin :)
| | |
Can someone tell me how to do this with winrar?
| | |
Can somebody tell me how to do this with the new version?
| | |
I second this, as for whatever reason, the values described in the first post are non-existent in the newest versions of Minecraft, and, in fact, haven't existed for several versions now.
| | |
Would there be a way to do the same thing for rain distance?
 | |  |
Updated!
| | |
Thanks a ton for the update, trying to get it to work with InvisiblePerson just now, the kind soul.
| | |
I increased the distance by 10 but it's too much now i only get 30-80 fps how would i increase it 5x, what would i put in in place of 02 because i don't understand why changing it to 14 increases fog distance 10x.
| | |
Could it have something to do with binary? I really don't know; twas just a guess.
| | |
Thanks for trying but i found a hexadecimal to decimal converter online. http://www.mathsisfun.com/binary-decimal-hexadecimal-converter.html theres the link if anyone needs it.
| | |
hex is short for hexidecimal so instead of 1-10 we have 1-16, but instead of 11,12,13,14,15 we have 10,a b c d e f for the numbers... i think.... so erm 8 would be centre?
| | |
Sorry Triddin,but I can't understand.I extracted minecraft.jar and those four files are missing.I don't understand
| | |
Well im not famillar to java and stuff.. so can anyone just upload or sth the all done file? : )
| | |
could you sned me the file already rescripted ause i dont understand how to do it and im gonna build somethin that is high of 828 block so i would like to see where im going -_-
thx for you help
| | |
Time to learn Hex......
| | |
Anyone know how to do this in the latest indev?
| | |
God Triddin, You are amazing, had I tried, i would have given up in about 2.63 seconds!(Probably because i can't read Java for the life of me)
I salute you and your efforts!
| | |
Is this for indev or infdev?
| | |
Well, i am new to coding and stuph, and i do not understand AT ALL what u mean by
cd lib
md jar
cd jar
jar xvf ..\minecraft.jar
How is that an explanation? Is there a youtube video to help me?
I really need this hack, but have no idea
what you are talkin' about.
| | |
i dont get what u mean to repack k.java?
| | |
ok this is what i got 
pls help
| | |
I followed this tutorial exactly, and packed in l.class with the string "11 00 14 19" however, it did not do anything. I even deleted those file in meta-inf.
| | |
any change the packaging instructions get a linux variant, because right now, its kinda near impossible to figure out to repackage the directory into a .jar file
| | |
I did exactly as the instructions, but everytime I repackage the file i get errors when starting (using winrar)
How do you repackage it?
| | |
Ok for the noob!
1. download WINRAR (QUICKEST WAY)
2. Download random HEX editor
3. Unpack minecraft.jar using winrar
4. Open Hex editor and find "com\mojang\minecraft" (located in C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\.minecraft)
5. then l.class
6. search for "11 02 00 19"
7. Replace "02" with anything (dont know exactly how this part works, but i chose 14"
8. It is now "11 02 14 19"
9. save l.class
10. delete the two files in the "META-INF" folder except the "MANIFEST.MF"
11. Highlight all folders and use winrar and save in ZIP mode. replace minecraft.zip to minecraft.jar.
12. REPLACE FILE AND ENJOY!
Does this work with alpha?

6. search for "11 02 00 19"
7. Replace "02" with anything (dont know exactly how this part works, but i chose 14"
8. It is now "11 02 14 19"
replace 02, but you replace 00..
what to replace?

I have been here for like 1,5 hours and cant get this going
I start up a hex program but i cant find the bloody "com\mojang\minecraft"!
Can i plz get help?
| | |
Rarararara. This is quite incomprehensible to me.
I'd love if someone else had a crack at trying to show how this works. :)
| | |
It's not in the same .class anymore, I don't think. Does anyone know what .class its in now?
| | |
Bump
| | |
any way to make it shorter? i love minecraft but i dont want to go through that much trouble...
| | |
Don't work with 1.20 after boo update.
| | |
You who are such a pro, could you find a way to see the names of every player on a server, whatever their distance and whether the're hidden or not
please i really need this thx
| | |
I have tried it on the latest version of the client, but it doesn't work than.
| | |
if i already have it lagging when the vision is on normal will it lag really bad if i do this hack?
| | |
My computer isn't really that great, and I usually play with small or tiny render distance, if I use this with small or tiny, will it still work, just get rid of the fog?
(Like, I can see the edges of the rendered areas, lol)
| | |
same as ertty...
| | |
I'm running Beta and I was unable to find the 11 02 00 19 code in either the l.class or k.class files. Anyone know where the code is now?
| | |
ALL OF THE HEX EDITORS THAT I FIND WANT ME TO PAY BUT I JUST WANT AN EDITOR THAT IS FREE (FOR FULL VERSION) AND WILL LET ME EDIT
| | |
... failed to run main class
| | |
Does anyone know how to use this mod with the beta 1.301?
| | |
Fatal error:Error launching World of Minecraft client:
java.lang.SecurityException: SHA1 digest error for com/mojang/minecraft/l.class
This is the error one recieves when using Notepad++ with HexEdit plugin and 7-zip to extract and re-pack the l.class file, after modification. Re-modification back to original code eases this error and allows for normal game play.
It seems mojang does not want simple hacks like this being available to those willing to break their minecraft.jar file. If there is a way to reset the SHA1 stored sum, then this would be a usable hack again.
This is beyond my limits. Perhaps someone else knows how to do so with Java?
UPDATE:
I looked at this thread http://www.worldofminecraft.com/StayFocus
and found that deleting the .SF and .DSA files in META-INF directory in minecraft.jar before re-packing the modified l.class file, works.
Steps:
1) extract l.class from minecraft.jar
2) delete .SF and .DSA files
3) modify l.class file from "11 02 00 19" to "11 14 00 19" and save
4) repack l.class into proper location
5) start World of Minecraft and play.
Again, I used 7zip for steps 1, 2 and 4; and Notepad++ with HexEdit plugin for step 3. Both of these programs and the plugin are free, opensource, GUI programs (and for 7zip) with drag-and-drop capability.

The game is so much clearer, never would have thought minecraft could have be so nice.
