Not working even with Chunky
Hi, I have a server which I'm trying to get DH to work on. I copied the world file to singleplayer and used chunky on a radius of 4000. The world still doesnt look like it has DH. I have googled and read through this Discord but I can't seem to fix it, please may someone help me?
I'm using Bliss shaders and am running 1.21.

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.
Yeah I enabled Distant Generation
Aren't those DH LODs in the distance?
What is your vanilla RD?
Can you set it to 2?
/slowgen
World generation in general is quite slow, if you want to speed it up:
Install Noisium and Faster Random, these mods can improve generation speed by a couple percent.
Make sure to remove the C2ME mod as it significantly slows down DH chunk generation by up to 35%.
Increase
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)32
Set it to 2 for the sake of testing
and send screen shot
By the way the recommended vanilla RD with DH is between 8 and 16
This is set to 2
I have Nosium installed btw
DH is working fine
my CPU load when using Chunky on Single player was 95-100% so i think it defo worked, and when I FTPed the world back to the server it took a while (again indicative it worked)
oh, it hasnt loaded very far?
Even with Chunky title is bad as chunky is not recommended to be used with DH as it should be 35% slower the DH generator
What is your DH RD?
4096
i only used chunky as a debugging method, i tried without first
That should take around 448 h (2 weeks 4 days and 16 h) to complete generating
but should i see it increasing slowly?
or does it all suddnely appear after 500h?
Do the second part
And fly up
And zoom on the edge
Should be loading slowely
its been on agreesive this whole time and CPU is only 13%, i also dont see it growing slowly
.
i flew around for a while and it genned the blocks then when i left the area it despawned the blocks
will do 2nd bit now
It will get perceptually slower and slower
Re enter the world
That sometimes fixes this stuff
ok done the second bit
reentering doesnt work 😭
Do you see any blue and red boxes in the distance?
no
It will be hard to see them with this angle
You can try building a pillar to the build limit
ok
But that RD is already big, why do you need it that much bigger?
Most people play with 128 DH RD
Even 1024 DH RD with need 28 h to generate on a high end CPU
i can see this is where i flew earlier
Can you disable the shader for a momnent, maybe it hides the boxes
its not generating, it is only showing me where i flew
Also double check that you selected correct settings
Are you playing a server right now?
Or is this the single player copy?
server
but i can go to single player
its the same though
/server
Distant Generation doesn't work in multiplayer, meaning DH won't be able to generate LODs for chunks outside the vanilla render distance.
Instead, as you travel around the world, LODs will be generated for areas you've visited.
In the next update, DH 2.3, you will be able to add DH to your server granted it's running a compatible mod/plugin loader (Fabric, (Neo)Forge, Bukkit and their derivatives). This will allow the server to generate LODs and send them to the client, making distant generation possible on multiplayer.
If you wish to try 2.3 early, read everything in this thread: https://discord.com/channels/881614130614767666/1285883332768563284
Keep in mind that this build is still experimental, we do not encourage using it on large servers until further testing.
You won't generate anything new on the server so you can stop truing
Only thing you can do is explor
The DH distant generator only works in single player
even though ive already generated the chunks with chunky on single player? and copied them to the server?
Chunky does not generate the LODs

LOD are always generated only by DH
im confused
what does chunky do then?
Chunky generated and saved vanilla chunks to the drive
It is done so that worldgen won't use your CPU resources when you explore, but the saved chunks use a lot of drive space
Try using the official server side DH version
oh 🤦♀️
And remember to put it on both the server and the client
In the F3 menu there should be a line that says
Server has full DH support if you set everything correctlyimma just give up and wait for new DH
did you say server side support is coming?
The experimental version was ready for some time
Recently it was merged into the main DH
You can get the DH 2.3 with sever support now here: #links-n-downloads
Current nighlty has server support included

IDK when DH 2.3 will release on Modrinth, etc.
im assuming this means server stuff is working?
its got the boxes you mentioned
i think its working, thank you so so so much for your help! It's very kind of you to take time out of your day to help a stranger 🙂
No problem 😸
I'm acually not sure that those are correct boxes...
yeah my server kept crashing
so i removed it
spent like the whole day trying to get it to work 😅 😂
What DH verson you currently have on your client and on your server?
you can hash that to know im not sending you malware
The version would be enough
Ok, DH 2.3.0a-dev for MC 1.21.1 (fabric)
2.3.0-a-dev-1.21.1
And you have it on both the server and the client?
yep
server kept crashing
On start or during gameplay?
during
like every 30 mins
do you have any other mods on the server?
many
it doesnt show DH cos i removed it
Either one of them conflicts with DH or the current build is unstable by itself
You can try /binary search on the server mods
Try a binary search and figure out which mod is causing it.
So disable half of the mods, see if issue is still there, if yes disable half again etc etc until you find the mod that's causing the issue.
im guessing its unstable
But unfortulatelly the best thing you can do now it wait for full DH 2.3 release
thats a cute visual of binary search
yh, do you know when that is?
There is no date
The main part is finished though
are you a dev?
I think it should release in the next month
No (at least not DH dev)
perfect, ill just wait 🤞
thank you for your help!
No problem 😸
dont send jars please (they could contain viruses)
do you have enough ram allocated on the server?
if you want to wait for the full release of 2.3 anyway and dont want to spend more time troubleshooting i can also understand that
Sorry for sending the jar!
Yeah I’ll just wait I think spending one day on it was enough lol! Thank you though’
Alright
