How To Turn Off, Remove, & Get Rid Of The Fog In Minecraft 1.18?

Fog is Minecraft 1.18 is a turned-up to limit your render distance. Even though this adds atmospheric effect and even lets less powerful rigs render massive realms for players, many hate it. And with the new Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Part 2 many players are noticing an unprecedented amount of fog showing up in their game. So today let’s look at how to turn off, remove and get rid of the fog in Minecraft 1.18.

How to Turn Off Fog in Minecraft 1.18

Many players are facing the fog issue in Minecraft when they join any major servers like Aternos. Your render distance and simulation distance values for the single-player on your PC will not relect when you join these servers from 1.18. So here’s how to turn off, remove, and get rid of the fog in Minecraft 1.18 in Aternos for Render Distance:

  • Go to Aternos webpage.
  • Now go to the server you play in.
  • Now click on “Files”.
  • Now select “server.properties”.
  • Now increase the value for “view-distance”.
  • This will fix the render distance fog in Minecraft 1.18.
  • Now you will be able to see more of your map, just like before the update.
  • If you have joined a Minecraft realm, and you have also increased render distance and simulation distance to 32 chunks (maximum value), and still facing this issue then there is nothing much more to do about this right now. We are also facing this same issue even though we have kept both render distance and simulation distance at 32 chunks. We hope Mojang fixes this, or even allows us to adjust the fog distance. Just we have to wait and see how the devs will handle this considering many players are enjoying the fog too.

    What Everyone Think About the New Render Distance Fog?

    Even though many players hate the fog in Minecraft 1.18, many players are loving this new feature as per tweets. Here are some examples:

    And here are some players showing their anger in Twitter regarding the fog:

    This is under my home base that I've been playing from since June 2020. Wow!

    I just wish I could get rid of this fog! The fog is in the same place whether my render distance is 12 or 32. It's annoying on the surface and messes up the caves. #minecraft 1.18 #cavesandcliffs pic.twitter.com/50F4Tttc6h
