Editing Distant Horizons

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Distant Horizons}}
'''Distant Horizons''' is a Minecraft client-side mod that generates Level of Detail (LOD) chunks, allowing you to see far beyond the server's normal render distance. DiplomacyCraft supports Distant Horizons connections.

__TOC__

== What It Does ==

Distant Horizons replaces distant chunks with simplified LOD meshes, letting you render hundreds or even thousands of blocks into the distance without the performance cost of loading full chunks. On a map server like DiplomacyCraft, this means you can see the shape of continents, mountain ranges, and distant towns from a high vantage point.

== Installation ==

# Download Distant Horizons from [https://modrinth.com/mod/distanthorizons Modrinth] or [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/distant-horizons CurseForge].
# Install it into your mod loader (Fabric or Forge) alongside your other client mods.
# Launch the game and connect to DiplomacyCraft as normal.

== Recommended Settings ==

For best results on DiplomacyCraft, the following in-game settings are suggested:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Setting !! Recommended Value !! Notes
|-
| Chunk Render Distance (Vanilla) || 8–12 || Keep this modest; DH handles the far distance
|-
| LOD Render Distance || 128–256 chunks || Higher values look great but require more RAM
|-
| Quality Preset || Medium or High || Balanced between visual quality and performance
|-
| Enable Distant Generation || Off || Generates fake terrain; disable to see only real server data
|}


== Compatibility ==

Distant Horizons is compatible with most client-side mods. If you are using a performance mod stack (e.g. Sodium, Iris), ensure you are using versions confirmed compatible with Distant Horizons for your Minecraft version. Check the [https://distanthorizons.gitbook.io/distant-horizons-wiki/ Distant Horizons wiki] for the current compatibility matrix.
