	Up until [[Minecraft:Java Edition 1.1\|1.1]], there was a bug with the OptiFine mod<ref>{{ytl\|jVSvf06rqBg}}</ref><ref>{{ytl\|FR9xvH-u21k}}</ref><ref>{{ytl\|a8CHopq3Tzw}}</ref> which would progressively break world rendering when traveling a far enough distance away, with effects manifesting as soon as 10,000 blocks. The effects would appear to get more intense continuously when moving far away from the center of the world, as opposed to having cutoffs every 2{{^\|''n''}} blocks, due to this rendering bug also taking rotation into account (although if the rotation is kept constant and along one axis discrete jumps become noticeable). The bug existed due to the mod undoing vanilla's fix for said bug.
