GPU not being utilised at all

Just finished installing all of the required mods for Distant Horizons to work (no extra mods, the only other thing I downloaded is a compatible shader pack) and I made a singleplayer world (v1.20.4) to test it, I join the world and I run at 2-5fps, my CPU is at 100% utilisation while my GPU is sitting at 0% utilisation. I've never had this problem before or even seen anything like it and I haven't changed any of the launcher settings except for allocating my launcher 8GB of ram. Does anyone have any solutions for this? The mods I have downloaded are: Distant Horizons, Indium, Fabric API, Iris, and Sodium. The shader I have is: Bliss Shader.

Generation is done on the CPU, so your CPU will be used a lot when generating LODs You cant force a program to use your GPU or CPU more, it will just use however much it needs In this case its generating LODs and doesnt need your GPU so its not being used Also

Which mods do you mean? DH doesnt need any other mods to work

When using fabric, it told me to download another mod for dh to work those mods also needed mods to work so it was kind of a rabbit hole but i was told they were required anyways
MarijnIsN00B
MarijnIsN00Bā€¢6mo ago
Do you mean that DH needs Indium when paired with Sodium?
CoinzPlayz
CoinzPlayzOPā€¢6mo ago
yes i think indium needed fapi
MarijnIsN00B
MarijnIsN00Bā€¢6mo ago
You can either lower the CPU load in the DH settings or disable shaders and let DH generate LODs in the background while you do smth else
CoinzPlayz
CoinzPlayzOPā€¢6mo ago
wouldn't the shaders be handled by the gpu?
MarijnIsN00B
MarijnIsN00Bā€¢6mo ago
Yes
CoinzPlayz
CoinzPlayzOPā€¢6mo ago
i usually get 3000+ fps without shaders then why isn't my gpu doing anything
MarijnIsN00B
MarijnIsN00Bā€¢6mo ago
Probably because your CPU is too busy with generating LODs and not letting the GPU work hard And the numbers in the F3 screen arent always 100% representative of how much its actually being used 3000+? What kind of shaders and GPU?
CoinzPlayz
CoinzPlayzOPā€¢6mo ago
3000 max sorry*
MarijnIsN00B
MarijnIsN00Bā€¢6mo ago
Still 3000 max is insane

MarijnIsN00B
MarijnIsN00Bā€¢6mo ago
Huh Still Id think you'd get more like 300 fps but eh thats unimportant

Yeah thats what Im thinking I have a better GPU than that I aint getting 3k fps
Brussel_sprouts
Brussel_sproutsā€¢6mo ago
Screw your gpu not being utilized, how do you have 3000+ fps
CoinzPlayz
CoinzPlayzOPā€¢6mo ago
max

Lets continue the 3000 fps convo in #off-topic or smth, first lets fix the high CPU usage Did you try just lowering the CPU load in DHs settings?
CoinzPlayz
CoinzPlayzOPā€¢6mo ago
no i didn't even see that option
MarijnIsN00B
MarijnIsN00Bā€¢6mo ago
Thats one of the options on the first screen when you open DHs settings

To edit the config, press the button next to the FOV slider to edit the config. The config file found in .minecraft/config/DistantHorizons.toml

There are "programs" that have or could implement such functionality, e.g. water simulation can be done on both, compression, sorting
MarijnIsN00B
MarijnIsN00Bā€¢6mo ago
I just mean like if a program thinks it doesnt need to use it, then it wont

3000fps without shaders isn't hard to achieve?
Brussel_sprouts
Brussel_sproutsā€¢6mo ago
Yes it is Doesn't sodium also limit the fps to 260
CoinzPlayz
CoinzPlayzOPā€¢6mo ago
clearly not i wasn't getting 3000 max with sodium actually i was getting less than i was with optifine

A simple mod for more fps. In fact, as many fps as you want.

i am not going to use that lol i fixed the performance issure i have no idea how a lot of the chunks arent loading though
Puhpine
Puhpineā€¢6mo ago
no, i suggested maybe you were using that to get 3000+ fps. there is no way you were getting that playing on normal settings
CoinzPlayz
CoinzPlayzOPā€¢6mo ago
i didnt even know that was a thing

You should send your latest.log file to provide additional useful information. Logs are located in the .minecraft/logs directory. On Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\logs On Linux: ~/.minecraft/logs On Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/logs Please upload the file to mclo.gs instead of sending the raw file. This makes reading the contents of the file a lot easier and improves the chances of you getting the help needed. After uploading the file, click on Save and send the link.

is there no way to increase the lod distance?

yes, wait /slowgen

If it feels like LoD generation with Distant Generator is too slow: Try increasing CPU Load in Distant Horizons settings for faster generation, but you will experience more lag spikes and stuttering due to heavier workload on CPU. To see if Distant Generator is really working or not: 1) Check CPU usage while in-game, using Aggressive settings of CPU Load. If CPU usage's hovering around 80-100%, the LoDs are generating in the background. 2) Go to DH settings > Advanced Options > Debug > Wireframe, set Enable Debug Wireframe Rendering and Show World Gen Queue to True. Enabling both settings will show you the visualization of world gen tasks queued and working on the map (blue boxes for queued tasks, red boxes for working tasks)

If you want a really big render distance, max out dh render distance, max out CPU Load and wait a long time
CoinzPlayz
CoinzPlayzOPā€¢6mo ago
will the lods be there after i leave?
Puhpine
Puhpineā€¢6mo ago
yes they will be remembered
CoinzPlayz

even on a server?
Puhpine
Puhpineā€¢6mo ago
yes
CoinzPlayz
CoinzPlayzOPā€¢6mo ago
okay
Puhpine
Puhpineā€¢6mo ago
but you cant generate LODs on a server it will only show you the chunks youve been to

oh so i have to explore like a map?

yep

If youre the owner of the server, you can use the Serverside Fork tho https://discord.com/channels/881614130614767666/1154490009735417989 It will make DH generate like in singleplayer. Read pinned in the thread for installation
