Distant Horizons

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 alpha. 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.

A: Yes, but only with certain shaders.

Q: Is there multiplayer support?
A: Yes. Although currently the mod is only client side so you have to explore chunks for the mod to use them.
