File Handler Tasks being a Bottleneck

The Latest nightly builds of DH have been using near to 5x the amount of File Handler Tasks as DH 2.2.1-a used to require to load the same area. As a consequence, Lods are 2-3x slower to load. This has been tested and confirmed by two moderators as well here: https://discord.com/channels/881614130614767666/1284569535139283025

Holes/Missing chunks failing to render properly (1.21) (DH 2.2.1-a)

I've seen posts of bug reports on this, and was wondering if they're is a fix for it. This started occurring today when I fly or use an elytra, the area in front of me (and sometimes behind) starts to disappear like this and then reappear when i go back. I'm not sure if its the mods i was installing today. Here is my mod list:...

Solution:
you are using oculus, which is incompatible with DH 2.2.x

Superflat world with very tall layers cause OutOfMemoryError on world rendering

Originally reported in the help-me channel. I was testing out a few changes to my world's data pack. That consisted of increasing the height 512 blocks further down, and adding a new flat world generation overriding the old layers specified when creating the world a decade ago. Before I started, I copied the world as a backup. Every time I made a change, I deleted the world after loading it in, and pasted in the backup, but with the data pack changes. The backup had the DH SQLite database deleted....

- FIXED - Related to DH Config Bug -> Huge FPS / Performance loss in 2.2.0-a vs older DH versions

All of the 3 tests are running on MC1.21 in the same MC Instance, same World and same DH config. All screenshots are taken after the DH tasks in the F3 menu have stabilized. First picture I have DH 2.1.3-a-dev: - Best performance so far - DH Tasks stabilized in about a minute after loading the world...

Massively huge logs

So I was doing some chunk gen the other day to see how long rtf would take and I wake up the next day to very few LoDs then I check my file manager and I had 0 bytes available. I check what’s taking up the most space and it’s a 24gb log file. After deleting the file it didn’t spam but dh was complaining about an error. No log as I deleted it to use my computer. Raspberry pi btw if that means anything

DH beacon renders over vanilla beacon

gaps between beacon beams when placed horizontally

when a lot of beacons are placed side by side, there are 1-block wide gaps randomly in the middle and it's quite off-putting

Cloud height is set by the dimension, even in extreme cases

On DH 2.2.0-a, cloud heights are set based on the height of the dimension. In extreme cases such as servers with datapacks that increase the max build height to 2048 to effectively uncap it, this puts clouds high enough to look like part of the skybox, and also causes very obvious far plane clipping. From what I could find, there's no setting to override cloud height to counteract this. To reproduce, install this datapack: https://modrinth.com/datapack/2032-world-height...

Minimum quality creates extra chunks/LODs

when creating a world with the minimum graphics present, dh will create extra LODs usually outside the chunk radius you have chosen. No error messages appear in the chat tested in Single player Mods: ...

Persistent Holes, and Walls Between LOD and Normal Chunks

notice: I posted this in both "help-me" and "bug-report" because these things are bugs, and I want help to see if there are any fixes. If it turns out to be my error and there's an easy fix, I'll delete the bug report, but I didn't see anything that would fix this in the faq channels or previous "help-me" reports. In the video I took, there are visible barriers between LOD and normal chunks; they're barely visible on land, but very visible in water. Also another big issue: There are persistent holes in the world, which disappear when I go near, then reappear when I go back. It's impossible not to notice them, as you can see straight through the world when they're there....

Bamboo Rendering Bug in LOD Chunks

When bamboo is rendered in LOD chunks, it seems to have a green chute at the top. These "chutes" disappear with a perfect seam when vanilla chunks take LOD chunks' place. These "chutes" also seem to be rasterized in the wrong order, as the clouds that should be behind the "chutes" appear in front of them. ...

Transparent LOD Blocks rendering in front of everything else with Vertex Shader

I apologize if I'm doing something wrong here and all help is appreciated Basically I just created this simple vertex shader, I don't think it's a problem on the shader's end because it only does this with distant horizons transparent LOD blocks, it works properly if I turn off transparency entirely in distant horzon settings, but if there is a way for me to fix this with the shader I would happily do it....
Solution:
You will need to add a fragment shader, and from there, you perform a depth discard. If you need more info on how to do so, head over to the shaderLABS Discord server for more info.

Mod doesnt actually work
