How do I know if there are new mods that are affecting the rendering?

I added the mod to 1.21.1 along with the following mods (see image). The mods all work, as well as two shaders I have added. I updated everything to the latest but when I join the server, the distance is the same, even loaded chunks wont appear after the set render distance. I have a few friends in the server who say it worked fine when I suggested they add the mod.
