@mushroomdonoteat@misskey.fryer.net.au LODs are an optimization technique that video games use to render objects that are far away with good performance
it consists of generating progressively lower quality versions of the original object (called LODs) (pictured below) and swapping the original object with those LODs as it gets further and further from the camera, since it will be too small on your screen for you to notice the quality loss
Minecraft Java Edition famously does not use LODs, which is why it explodes and dies when you try and set the render distance to 24 while GTA V can render an entire island on Xbox 360 hardware: Distant Horizons is a mod that adds LOD supports to Minecraft
@mushroomdonoteat@misskey.fryer.net.auso it means you can get proper views n stuff intead of the FogCorrect, here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M31DhtoNh9wdoes it create the chunks in the distance or do you have to explore them first?On singleplayer world, it can create them in the distance, but on Multiplayer you have to visit them first so it can cache the LODs in your local database. Since the 2.3 update, you can also install Distant Horizons on the server to get the server to automatically generate LODs and send them to the client, which avoids the issue of needing to explore them first
