How to automatically generate LODs for existing world?
When generating new chunks with something like chunky or chunk pregenerator, the LODs will also generate. Is there a way to force this same behavior to make LODs generate for existing chunks? Just enabling distant generation does technically work but chunks that are far away will only generate in the lower quality LODs instead of generating all qualities.

Nvm if I set the "Distant Generator Mode" to "Pre-Existing Chunks Only" it will only generate LODs for the chunks I have already generated. I can just set the render distance very high and it'll start generating for everything. If I just crank up the render distance to something absurd so it covers everything it will at first generate the lower detail LODs in the distance but if I leave it it looks like it will start to generate the higher detail ones after finishing the lower detail ones.
Distant generator mode is in the "World Generator" tab in the "Advanced Options" in the config
will only generate in the lower quality LODs instead of generating all qualities.quick note on this, DH generates and stores LODs at the highest quality. downsampling happens in realtime
When I generate in a large radius the stuff in the distance will be lower quality (as intended) but if I teleport there it takes a while for it to change to the higher quality LODs so I assumed it had to generate those separately. I guess it was still busy generating stuff and that's what made load slowly.
