LOD Server Support

Configuration

• Commented YAML settings — Client and server settings are grouped by feature, with comments explaining units and resource costs.
• Reload settings — Use /lsslod reload on servers or /lss reload on clients; settings that need a restart or reconnect are reported.
• Automatic JSON migration — Existing settings migrate to YAML on startup, preserving values and accepting the old loader's comments and loose JSON syntax.
• One-way migration — Downgrading to v0.15.x reads the retained JSON and ignores YAML edits; copy changes back into JSON before downgrading.
• New-install distances — Fresh configurations use 512 chunks in the Overworld and End and 64 in the Nether; migrated distances stay unchanged.
• Removed commands — /lsslod set and preset commands are removed; edit the YAML, then run /lsslod reload.

Client Settings

• Updated Chinese translations — Adds Simplified and Traditional Chinese translations for the new settings labels, tooltips, and feedback.

Bug Fixes

• SQLite compatibility — Fixes NeoForge SQLite startup conflicts without requiring an additional library mod.
• Backfill fixes (Fabric/NeoForge) — Enabling during startup waits for the store; failed manual starts no longer report “already running”.

Support and Compatibility

• Platforms — Fabric, Paper/Purpur/Folia, and NeoForge for Minecraft 26.2; Folia is experimental, and NeoForge is best-effort without distant-player rendering.
• Compatibility — Preserves the network protocol and LSS/VSS configuration adoption.
• Known limitations — Existing Xaero first-spawn gaps, region-boundary shading seams, and shader/LOD-depth limitations remain.
