The Horizon Reach Render Mod allows players to see distant landscapes in Minecraft by sending level of detail data directly from the server. This is particularly useful in multiplayer environments where players usually need to explore chunks to view far-off terrain.

Features

  • Sends saved LOD terrain chunks directly from the server to connected players upon joining.
  • Removes the need for exploration of every chunk individually to see distant views.
  • Updates far-off landscape data as players build or modify the environment.
  • Includes an optional setting for displaying distant players across the horizon.
  • Integrates server chunks into Xaero's World Map without requiring large vanilla render distances.
  • Utilizes compressed network transfers to conserve server bandwidth and memory.
  • Saves persistent terrain cache files on the server for efficient access.
  • Operates in singleplayer worlds and local LAN sessions similar to dedicated servers.
