Pre-render LOD headlessly?

I run an SMP for my friends, and I'm planning on using Distant Horizons to render the entire map and then send them all the pre-rendered LOD. What's the best way to do this? I was hoping there was a headless option so I could render it on the server rather than in a singleplayer world on my laptop. If there's not a headless option, then what's the best way to pre-render a large (16k by 16k) map?

You can either generate the LODs in singleplayer and send the files to them, or install the #Server side fork and get your friends to use that too There is no headless option

What's the best way to generate it in single player? Just set it to max and afk overnight?

Set the LOD dropoff distance to max, Id keep the vertical quality at medium

And yes, then just max out the CPU load and allocate like 12 gigs of RAM and just wait lol

just double checking before I log off for the night, if I leave it overnight it'll generate LODs for the entire 16k map?

Depends what your settings are and depends if that 16k is in blocks or chunks (I assume blocks but just to be sure)
