Weird artifacts in DH render zone

Hi, I wanted to create my own modpack for personal use. The mods I use are appended in the text file. I removed all 'performance' mods except Sodium and Indium and ModernFix (which shouldn't do something with the rendering if I read the docs correctly).

I have 24GBs left for the client, running on amd ryzen 5950x and 3090rtx.

I tried both the bliss shader (built from main branch (the dev branch)) and complementary shaders (both of which should be valid for DH). Both resulted in these weird artifacts that are shown in the upper right corner. (The trees after the vanilla render distance look like full blocks (pink and green), and it really kills the DH effect). I even tried it without any shaders and it still behaves in this blocky manner. I'm not sure what I am missing but hopefully I added enough information. Thanks in advance

DH cannot render textures and cannot render smaller than a full block, so this is expected behaviour. Try increasing the render distance, so you don't notice it as much

I already tried. I forgot to mention that I'm on a server and not in singleplayer. I tried raising the vanilla render distance from 12 to 24 with no changes in the visuals whatsoever :/

The server has its own max render distance, and won't send players chunks further away.
You can try the mod Bobby which chaches these chunks and allows for a higher render distance than the servers

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: help-meServer-side support
Keep in mind that this build is still experimental, we do not encourage using it on large servers until further testing.

It's set on High at the moment. When I tried using Extreme, the client froze completely

I traveled around the world so it should be already cached, or does this behave differently?

Chunks are removed from the cache once they are out of the clients render distance or once the player leaves the current dimension.

Yes, the LODs should be saved

Without shaders there are 3 DH settings that can be tuned, but when shaders are used it is up to them

Mmajo24 OP is talking about Bobby, not DH

Miki_P98•10/6/24, 5:15 PM

Bobby still saves chunks

Miki_P98•10/6/24, 5:15 PM

Farsight does mot save them

majo24•10/6/24, 5:16 PM

It saves them to file?

Mmajo24 It saves them to file?

Miki_P98•10/6/24, 5:16 PM

Yes

majo24•10/6/24, 5:16 PM

Oh, thought they were just being discared after leaving the dimension

Miki_P98•10/6/24, 5:16 PM

Bobby chunks can’t be converter to LODs though

LolovcekOP•10/6/24, 5:17 PM

I just tried singpleplayer with 20 render distance and using shaders (Bliss)... it is way less noticeable than on the server. So there isn't any escaping to this problem?

LolovcekOP•10/6/24, 5:18 PM

it blends in really well on singleplayer, can't even notice it

majo24•10/6/24, 5:18 PM

Were you using bobby when you compared server to singleplayer?

LolovcekOP•10/6/24, 5:19 PM

no, I never used the mod, is it client side only?

majo24•10/6/24, 5:19 PM

Yes, it is. The reason it seemingly blends better on singleplayer is, because the LODs are farther away due to you having a greater render distance than on the server

majo24•10/6/24, 5:20 PM

Since the LODs are farther away, its harder to notice when chunks are there and when LODs are there

LolovcekOP•10/6/24, 5:21 PM

gonna try the mod, brb
