The new update to the 1.8 Pre-Release (version 2) restores the fog key! Download the Pre-Release version 2 update to get the fog key back! Only use this mod if you still use Pre-Release version 1 for some reason.

Since Minecraft 1.8 pre-release 1 does not have the easily accessible fog key, I decided to make this mod. This mod allows you to use the fog key once again!

Since Minecraft 1.8 (and higher) uses a 2 button combination for the fog key (F3 & F, which is tricky for some laptop users), I made this mod. This mod allows you to use only a single fog key once again!

By default, the fog key is 'F' and it cannot currently be changed.

New to version 1.1
-Holding either shift key while pressing F will change the fog in the reverse direction.
-The F key will no longer change fog when you are using a gui (such as the chat window).

New to version 1.2
-Mod recoded to not slow game down (No longer modifies Timer class; Now modifies OceanBiome class).

New to Version 1.3
-Mod recoded to use ModLoader. It no longer modifies existing class files and is easily installed and uninstalled.

New to Version 1.4
-Mod updated for Beta 1.9 Pre-Release, and recoded to not use ModLoader. Now modifies the BiomeGenSky class file.

New to Version 1.5
-Mod recoded to once again use ModLoader. It no longer modifies existing class files and is easily installed and uninstalled.

1.81 Version:
Here's the download link (ModLoader 1.81 required)
Fog Key Mod 1.3 for Beta 1.81 (NOT for 1.73 or a 1.8 Pre-Release)

NOTE: Apparently version 1.3 of this mod conflicts with zombe's modpack. I looked into my mod's coding, and my mod does not even access any of the classes that zombe's modpack modifies. Could someone check if other ModLoader 1.81 mods conflict with zombe's modpack?

Old downloads
Fog Key Mod 1.2 for Beta 1.8 Pre-Release 1 (NOT for 1.73)
Fog Key Mod 1.1 for Beta 1.8 Pre-Release 1 (NOT for 1.73)
Fog Key Mod 1.0 for Beta 1.8 Pre-Release 1 (NOT for 1.73)

NOTE: Due to some problems decompiling 1.8 pre, I used the yq(Timer) class to detect when the f key is being pushed. However, because this class is used for timing game play ticks, this mod seems to have a weird effect on how fast the game play is. I am still trying to find out how I can do an alternate implementation.

NOTE: Slow motion problem fixed, but you will have to unistall version 1.1 or 1.0 if either is installed. Use the "Disable" class file provided with both those downloads.

fog key sucked, it littereally mimiced the render distance option in the options - why make it again?, plus its not like this was hard to make, all you had to do was copy stuff from 1.7 and insert it in the right place

HA HA HA "it littereally mimiced the render distance options in the options"
ISN'T THAT THE POINT EXCEPT YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO OPTIONS>VIDEO SETTINGS AND CHANGE THE FOG?
HA HA HA HAu so funny guy

btw, shut your mouth as modding isn't easy in base anyways.

You're my hero :3

ALL HAIL Ogresean! thank you so much.

I use the fog key to stop me from lagging. All I have to do is hit F every few minutes.

OMG DUDE! AMAZING JOB! I WAS HOPING FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS...Didnt expect it so soon, but THANK YOU!

THANKS BROOO!
I was very sad seeing that their was no fog key.

Thanks for making this mod; it helps a lot!

Edit: I think this mod is increasing occurrence of a client crash for me.

Could you provide a crash report?


Anyway, I'm glad everyone likes the mod. Does anyone notice the game play being slightly slower or faster?

I crash when I run this.
No other mods, fresh bin.
Uhm, what? :dry.gif:

I don't really feel as if this was much needed, though it is a very nice ease of access for changing the render distance. I actually didn't even know that the render distance key was taken off. Though, I'm sure that this is very helpful to some people. Personally, though, I have no use for this, because I always play on Tiny (my computer sucks...).

What does suck a little is that I think you'll have to update the mod when the full version of 1.8 comes out.

Dude, do you know how hard it is to make a mod?You have to decompile the files and change arguments in the coding and the arguments are written in computer language.After that you have to recompile it . It's not as easy as it sounds.So don't act as if you know everything.Pride goes before a downfall. P.S: If you think you're so good then go make a mod that adjusts the brightness level that is currently in 1.8 using keys.( I find it inconvient to go to the menu and change it.)

Are you using the 1.8 pre-release's minecraft.jar file? Can you provide a crash report?

Just pm'd you mate about a video of your mod link in msg add it the forum thread

Thanks alot! I have added it to the first post.

Kinda pointless considering the pre-release is basically a open beta, meaning that it is an unfinished product so for all you know that it will work when it comes out.
And for those saying "It isn't that easy" .. It really is that easy to make a simple mod like this.

Dude even if you thought it was easy before it has completly changed now, I have taken a look at the decompiled files and the coding has become 1 million times harder.

Yes, this mod was pretty easy to make (though it took more time than I expected due to decompiling problems). I primarily made this mod for my own use. Hopefully, the official 1.8 will add back the fog button and render this mod useless.

It didn't mimic it, It's a shortcut for it
. . .

And it's not like doing this is easy. Even the creator of this is having some trouble with this.
You don't just Copy-Pasta coding into 1.8 .jar, it's probably having some compatibility issues with 1.8 and the Modder has to fix that. Maybe that's why it was removed?
I have no idea why, but I can assure you, it isn't easy.

@OP Thanks for this, if I don't refresh my fog every minute my FPS drops about 20 Frames. You saved me! "+" for you, Sir!

I
LOVE
YOU

Thank you so much dude!! I literally cried tears of joy after seeing this! (Not really, lol, but I still am relieved that you saved me!)

Thank you so much once again! I clicked your adf.ly link three times!
