doesnt work in general but i can see some signs of it
Hi, I have found out about Distant Horizons trough tiktok, and wanted to give it a try trough fabric and also install some other mods (i just took fabric api, sodium, indium, controlled, distant horizons, iris mod and framework) but as i loaded in the game and went trough every single setting of the DH it did not want to load the chunks. I have watched countless tutorials and it doesnt even let me use the /chunky command. i am playing in 1.20.1 singeplayer. Even with DH not working, i still have some stuff i want to ask you guys. How do i make the iris shader MOD to work? i havent seen any settings for it and i have tried putting it in my shader list, didint work.
i am also pretty new to the whole sodium indium and fabric api stuff too, so i struggled to download everything

Chunky is known to cause LODs to turn into swiss cheese and bloat up world size, as can be seen in the attached screenshot.
We recommend you enable "Distant Generation" in Distant Horizons' settings and wait.
If you actually want to pre-generate vanilla chunks along with LOD data, disable Distant Horizons, wait for chunky to finish, then re-enable Distant Horizons.
i mentioned in my title that ,,i can see some signs of it''
also the flowers are wool blocks or terracotta from afar?
You won't be able to use the /chunky command if you didn't install the chunky mod
You can access iris's settings via the video settings and clicking on shaders, or using the keybinds i, o, and p.
Because DH renders everything at a lower quality. The lowest quality DH can render is a 1x1 meter cube, so flowers appear as that.
It looks from your screenshots like DH is working, but it just takes a long time for all the chunks to generate
/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)That might help
thank you dude
np!
let me know if you have any more questions
i am trying to use i o and p but it doenst do anything 😭
i think the mod had to show up in here tho?
the iris mod i mean
it is working, there you can select the shaderpack you want iris to load
ooooooooh
so iris is just like a supporter for other shaders?
or does it actually effect the shaders
yea, its a shader loader, it loads shaders
thank you so much dude
👍
ive set the render quality to block and the flowers still look like that
do i have to go down there and generate the chunks first?
because i havent walked there
yea, because DH cant render something smaller than a 1x1 meter cube, this is the best a flower will look
alright
oh and btw
i found the reason to the ,,fent drive'' i posted last night
thats a common problem with bliss

other shaders dont have that issue
if you have iris shaders with bliss shaders and the render from DH on, and then change the distance for lod then that happens
i was trying to lower the lod distance so i could maybe have a bit more fps and then i saw that
do you know which settings of the bliss shaders i can twist around with to get a bit more fps? 😢
i would prefer atleast 77 fps minimum
bliss doesnt have any default presets, so youll have to put a bit more work in tweaking it yourself
the best settings for you depend on your hardware, and what quality settings you would like to sacrifice
alternatively, you can also pick another shader that does have quality presets, like photon or complementary
i would want to find another shader like bliss
in the terms of lightning
its so dark and nice
all of the shaders i know are just bright and look bad
for this mod atleast
im not sure what shaders would fit that description, but here is a list of DH supported shaders: https://gist.github.com/Steveplays28/52db568f297ded527da56dbe6deeec0e
