Noobs make a MC server with DH
Goals,
1, Create a fabric server hosted on my spark hosting server with DH support and a few other mods (carpet, sodium, Chunky ect.) for 1.21.4
2, Set up all my client configs for DH, Iris, shaders and other mod settings (lightmatica)
3, Make a .mrpack file containing my configs and mods for my friends to download and install via Modrinth.
Is that the right way to go about this? Would I run into any troubles? Is there a better method?
I really don't know what I am doing. I am not 100% sure what version to install on the server and client.
Will running Chunky on the server help with DH's LOD map thing? If not is there another way (that I can do and not rely on the players to attempt) ?

Sounds about right
You can't run sodium on a server
DH has a build in world generator, so chunky isn't needed
Some updates,
The players want to play on 1.21.3 for some other mods. Will the 1.21.3 version of DH preform chunk generation too or do I need Chunky?

All DH versions from 2.0 (I just don't know if 1.6 had it) has the distant generator in it
is distant generator the same as chunk generation?
1 thing you might want to know is that the latest nightly does not work good with latest Iris 1.8.X so shader support might be broken
and If so, how do I run it 😉
Distant generation generates vanilla chunks, then LODs (DH chunks) from the vanilla chunks, then deletes the generated vanilla chunks to save space
Of course if the chunks did not already exist
Oh, then i still need chunky for server load issue when people are exploring.
Make sure to use the latest DH nightly as the Chunky compat was fixed today
Best to redownlaod just to make sure
If you don't: /chunky
Using Chunky's pregeneration and Distant Horizons at the same time is known to cause LODs to turn into swiss cheese as can be seen in the attached screenshot.
Distant Horizons has a built-in LOD pregenerator called Distant Generation. However, Distant Generation only saves the LODs, not the vanilla chunks. This is in order to save file space, as pregeneration often leads to huge file sizes.
If you actually want to pregenerate vanilla chunks along with LOD data, remove Distant Horizons, use chunky to pregenerate, and add Distant Horizons back. Once the pregeneration is done and Distant Generation is enabled, Distant Horizons will convert all the pregenerated, saved chunks, inside your DH Render Distance to LODs.
If you only want the LOD data and don't need the vanilla chunks, use Distant Generation instead of Chunky's pregeneration.
Note, these issues may not only occur with Chunky, but also with other similar pregeneration mods.
Again latest nightly has already fixed this
Is the issue with Iris shaders for both 1.21.3 and 1.21.4 or just one?
I was going to use Bliss
IDK which Sodium/Iris version broke it so I can’t tell you if the older Sodium and Iris on 1.21.3 will work or not
I play on 1.20.1 and know that Iris 1.7.5 works and that is the only thing I know for sure
But there is 1 more weird shader support bug that I have no idea if it was fixed or not
Do again I linku know that DH 2.2.1 with Iris 1.7.5 works for sure
LOD pregenerator have commands I can input from the console?
Yes, with /dh config
Main thing you want to change is the threadPreset
Thank you where can I find a list of commands.
If you type /dh config you should see all of them thanks to auto complete
Is there a wiki or something with the commands and setting options? can I imput them from the server console (not in game) and Can I set LOD generation to happen while no one is in game?
my RAM usage is Maxed out for the server

what is dat,?
Something has to request LOD for it to be generated, it does not have to be an online player, but I don't know of anything beside that
