How can I start with distant horizons on forge?
Im not really sure where to begin setting up distant horizons for 1.20.1, specifically im looking for help on how to optimize the loading. I have seen some mods being recommended like c2m engine, chunky and noisium to speed things up but im sure theres also other mods im not aware of that you guys know, and i also dont know how to configure these mods and use them, for example chunky.

If you want to use DH on forge 1.20.1, you just have to install forge for 1.20.1 and then put the correct DH version into the
.minecraft/mods folder.what about shaders?
You'd have to use oculus + embeddium for that
To speed up the generation of LODs, increase
CPU Load and make sue you have enough RAM allocatedIm generally aware of how mods work and how to download them but for example idk what chunky commands to use to start generating my world faster
C2ME and Chunky are not recommended to use with DH, as they either cause issues or significant slowdowns.
/chunky
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.
so they arent faster?
No, in nightly, DH should be about 50% faster than chunky and C2ME also causes significant slowdown
so what would be the fastest way to generate chunks with distant horizons/other mods along with it
Just running DH's Distant Generation while having the
CPU Load setting at max
And then adding lots of other optimization modsnoisium?
Yea, thats a good one
Faster Random can also help
alr, how about the method with chunky before loading dh?
Do you just want the LODs, which DH uses, or do you also want the actual chunks?
lods
Then use DH's Distant Generation
but wouldnt chunks have to load for lods to work?
Chunks are generated while generating LODs, but they are discarded and not saved in order to save space

There are some optimization mods
Tho they are for fabric
right, so thats basically it, dh, oculus, embeddium, noisium, faster random and dh on max load
also last question, when i install dh should I configure its settings before going into a world?
like on the main menu
Doesn't matter when you configure them
so i do my settings load into a world sit still and wait?
Yea, basically
around how long will I have to wait
Depends on your CPU
I have a ryzen 5 3600
For my ryzen 7 5800X, 512 chunks took ~4 hours
lol
Also, what are you planning to do? Do you just want to generate a large render distance with DH and play in that world without much content mods?
i jus wanna play crackers witherstorm mod maybe with timeless and classics guns for the funny, mainly because you cant see the actual size of the witherstorm with 16 chunks render distance for example and jus also because i kinda like dh 😂
wdym?
that wouldnt work?
No no, everythings fine
ok
so everything stays the same
i would maybe just want a few chunks around me to be rendered so even if i run a little it will be fine
maybe like 100 chunks idk
but ye thats about it thanks for the help
