Not working on a server.
Works in singleplayer worlds with shaders and mods. Doesn't work when I host a multiplayer world on a fabric server. The menu shows up and I get messages from the mod, but the LOD chunks don't show or load. The ram on the server is set to 16gb and the server has 16 cores. I'm running 1.21.1. I've tried running with only distant horizons mod and it still doesn't work. I'm wondering I need to use a specific version of DH or Iris as opposed to the latest versions. I attached an error I get when trying to turn off LOD loader on a server world.

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.

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)Try waiting a bit longer
