How do I properly install nightly builds?

how do i properly install nightly builds? i clicked the link in the discord server for 1.20.4 and replaced my DH jar file, but now i don't see it in my mods list in game with no settings menu.

Click Don't show again Auto Updaters a bit broken, so its best to not use it
Ninjasnakeyes
NinjasnakeyesOP7mo ago
ok. also, not sure if it's just loading stuff really slowly, but nothing seems to be happening save for a couple loaded DH chunks
majo24
majo247mo ago
Try increasing CPU Load in DH Settings
Ninjasnakeyes
NinjasnakeyesOP7mo ago
that seemed to do the trick however, another question i had on single player, the DH chunks seem to be very low quality appearing in large voxels, whereas when i play on a server, they seem to look much better why is that?
majo24
majo247mo ago
Not sure, but you could try increasing Quality Preset in DH settings
Ninjasnakeyes
NinjasnakeyesOP7mo ago
that didn't help before. it just looked the same
Ninjasnakeyes
NinjasnakeyesOP7mo ago
also, now there are chunks that just don't seem to load

Not sure about that stuff, will have to wait for someone who knows more about this
Ninjasnakeyes
NinjasnakeyesOP7mo ago

majo24
majo247mo ago
About both
Ninjasnakeyes
NinjasnakeyesOP7mo ago
ic ok. thanks anyways
Ninjasnakeyes
NinjasnakeyesOP7mo ago

You need to delete your old LOD files for stripes that are created by previous versions to go away

Where can I find the LOD files for single player worlds?

@James Seibel (GMT-6) @Puhpine So it seems that it's taking much loner to regenerate the DH chunks than the first time now that I've deleted the old LOD files
