chunky X distant horizon X multiplayer
Hi , does chunky work in multiplayer with dh like in singleplayer ? like i load all the chunks and then activate distant horizons to see all the chunks i loaded. And will my friends will be abe to see all the chunks like me if they install dh later ?

Using Chunky to pregenerate for DH is not recommended for several reasons. The first one is the swiss cheese that might show up when using chunky while DH is installed. The second reason is that it's pointless, as DH has a build in pregenerator that is better integrated than chunky:
- It saves space by only storing LODs, not normal chunks
- It is faster to use DH's pregenerator to generate the LODs than first using chunky to generate the normal chunks, and then using DH to convert the normal chunks to LODs
- It is part of DH, and therefore always/only called when DH needs it
- Chunky calculates it's radius in blocks, confusing the user if they are not aware of this
Distant Horizons' built-in LOD pregenerator is enabled by default, and can be sped up or slowed down by changing the
cpu load in DH's settings, or disabled by turning off Distant Generation.
If you want to pregenerate both LODs and normal chunks, be sure to set the Distance Generator Mode to Internal Server under Advanced, World Generator. This will of course take up quite a lot more storage space. Make sure you have C2ME installed if you want to use Internal Server, as the generation speed will be crap if you don't.
Note, this also applied to other similar pregeneration mods.
no that wont work
you need to install DH on the server, not chunky
yes but if i install both and load like 5000 blocks with chunky will it work like singleplayer ?
well youll get the problems youll see above
if you dont use chunky, youll get the same result without those problems
And you will get the result faster using only DH
You don't need Chunky in singleplayer either.
k thanks
