How to remove fog in Minecraft? [Tutorial]

Hi! For clear the fog in Minecraft, you have two options depending on your version. On Bedrock, type the command /fog directly in the chat.

On Java, you go through a mod like NoFog Where OptiFine, since there is no dedicated command. Here is the complete tutorial for each scenario.

Why remove the fog in Minecraft?

Fog reduces the display distance and blocks part of the background. Many players remove it for three main reasons.

• Visibility : Looking further ahead makes it easier to explore and build.
• Performance : Some PCs perform better without this rendering.
• Aesthetics : Screenshots and videos are clearer without the fog.

The method you should use depends on your version of the game. Here's how to proceed in both cases.

Method #1: Use the commands to clear the fog in Minecraft

How to order /fog works only on Minecraft Bedrock (PC, mobile, and console).

On Minecraft Java Edition, skip directly to the "using mods" method below.

Prerequisite: Enable the commands before you begin

To use /fog, them cheats must be enabled in your game. In Creative mode, they're already enabled. In Survival mode, here's how to do it.

• When you create your game, Enable the “Enable Commands” option” in the advanced settings.
• On an existing part, open the menu, click on "Settings, then enable the commands in the dedicated tab.

If the controls are not enabled, the game will display a error message in red in the chat and won't let you use them.

Access the in-game chat

Press the key T to open the in-game chat. You can also press / directly to open the chat with the slash already entered. You'll then have three actions to deal with the fog.

• /fog push : Adds a fog effect to a player or the environment.
• /fog pop : Removes the most recently added fog effect.
• /fog remove : Removes all fog effects from a player or the environment.

Add fog with /fog push

This command is used to create a special atmosphere in your game. Here are two concrete examples.

• /fog push Alucare minecraft:fog_overworld ambiance Adds fog to the named player Alucare under the heading “Atmosphere.”.
• /fog push minecraft:overworld minecraft:fog_nether ambiance add the red Nether fog in the Overworld under the name “ambiance.”.

Remove the last effect using /fog pop

To remove only the most recently applied fog effect, send this command in the chat.

• /fog pop Alucare ambiance Removes the last effect named “ambiance” added to the player Alucare.
• /fog pop minecraft:overworld ambiance Removes the last effect named “ambiance” added to the Overworld.

Delete everything with /fog remove

This is the order you need to clear up the confusion once and for all. It removes all effects at once.

• /fog remove Alucare ambiance removes the “atmospheric” fog effects for the player Alucare
• /fog remove minecraft:overworld ambiance Removes the “atmospheric” fog effects in the Overworld.
• /fog remove @s ambiance removes the “mood” effects for yourself directly, without having to enter your username.

The Target @s Use your own character in all commands. If the game sends you a error message, make sure the cheat is enabled and that you're aiming at the right target.

Adjust the display distance to reduce blurriness

Even without an order, you can also display further by increasing the render distance in the game's video settings. This method works on Bedrock and Java.

• Open the menu, click on Optionsthen on Video Settings.
• Find the cursor “Display Distance” and set it to the maximum value supported by your PC.

This doesn't actually remove the fog, but it pushes its visual effects further into the game.
