Description

What does Distant Horizons do?
Simply put, it add simplified terrain past Minecraft's default view distance to improve performance and allow for longer draw distances.
Now you can finally enjoy that lookout tower you built on top of a mountain!

This photo was taken with a Minecraft render distance of 12 and a mod distance of 512.

Hey, Hey you! This is important!
The version support numbers are strict!
If a version says it supports MC 1.18.1 it will NOT work on 1.18.2!
And: the mod is still in beta. Things may change, break, crash or otherwise go wrong. You have been warned!
Although if you have problems feel free to leave an issue on the project's GitLab.
FAQ:
Q: Forge or Fabric?
A: MC 1.20.6 and newer - NeoForge and Fabric are both in the same jar.
MC 1.20.4 and older - Forge and Fabric are both in the same jar.
Q: Shaders?
A: Yes, but only with certain shaders.
- Optifine: DH partially works with forward rendered shaders.
- Iris (and equivalent ports): DH 2.1.0+ only works with Iris 1.7+ and only with shaders built with DH support in mind.
- DH 2.0 and older don't work with Iris.
Q: Does this work with player created structures?
A: Yes.
Q: Is there multiplayer support?
A: Yes
client side only:
If you only have DH installed on your client LODs will be saved between sessions, although you have to explore the world to load them.
Server and Client:
If DH is installed on the server and client, LODs will automatically be sent to each connected user that has DH installed and has `Distant Generation Enabled` set to true, disabling distant generation on the server will prevent LODs from being sent to the users.
Q: Where can I download the Bukkit plugin?
A: The bukkit plugin has its own separate download page:
