How does Minecraft/Distant horizons store the relevant world data
How is world data stored in Minecraft? Does it work kind of like a git pull where only the data you changed is saved, does it save the entire chunk when you first load it and how does distant horizons make the LOD representations of the cunk without loading it? Does it generate every level of LOD when you first load a chunk and update the LOD data when you update the chunk?

The LOD data is stored in a Database. It only saves the LOD. DH generates a chunk, and then converts it into LOD form. Also afaik it doesn't save the normal chunk. Yes it generates every level of LOD directly and updates the LOD chunk when a block update happens in the chunk
