Distant Horizons not working on Apex Hosting Paper 1.21.4 server.
Hello, I am trying to get DH working for my Paper server. I put the DHS-0.8.1_for_MC-1.21.4.jar in the plugins folder, reset the server and I have the config file accessible, but when I log into the server, there's no distant chunk generation. The mods works for me when I use the 2.3.0 client side version, but I don't know how to get it working on the server. Any help would be appreciated!

So you have latest DH plugin on the server and latest DH mod on the client?
Does the F3 menu (on the client) say Server Has Full DH Support?
I'm not running the DH mod on the client when I do the tests. I'm running a pure vanilla 1.21.4.
And I don't see the server has full DH support line on F3
Solution
You still need the mod on the client
Oh, I didn't know that.
Wait, why would I download it on the server if the client is supposed to have the mod anyway?
The server needs to send additional data to clients that have DH in order to increase render distance. The vanilla server doesn't send this data, because why would it?
Oh okay. That makes sense. I'm running a private server and I just give my friends the DH sqlite files separately, but I guess people can't do that on public servers.
Exactly :)
Do you know if it ever would be possible for DH to only need to run server side and have it work with players who are on vanilla clients?
Or is that something out of the realm of possibilty for a server mod?
Not possible :(
Ah well. At least we got the mod in the first place. Thanks for your help!
You're welcome 😊
