Distant Horizons w/ Bliss Shaders Tutorial [FIXED] - Minecraft has never looked this good!

I made this video because most other tutorials werent in depth and didnt work for me. Hopefully this helps! Comment if you need any assistance.
Distant Horizons introduces a Level Of Detail (LOD) system to Minecraft's rendering engine, which generates simplified chunks beyond the usual render distance. This mod enables an extended render distance without compromising performance. Paired with Bliss shaders, Minecraft will look amazing!!
Mods needed are below -
Fabric

[@bobrik399]

Wow I cant believe how far this game has come, its kind of bitter sweet tbh because if you think about how much modders have been able to do with a horrifically optimized java mess of a game that is Minecraft imagine if it were to be rebuilt from the ground floor. Looking forward to future development on this and thanks for the video :3

That's what Minecraft Bedrock is. Developed in C++. The problem is, it's difficult/impossible to mod it like java edition

[@a-okayl1504]

@@ibbyuh why is it so difficult? I heard it's because the coding isn't open source so its hard to tamper with or wtvr. I believe bedrock has CRAZY potential just only the surface was scratched. Do you think mojang doesnt want us to heavily mod bedrock and for that to be a mostly Java thing?

[@LuffyNegsAllAdmirals]

@@a-okayl1504Mojang monetizes bedrock with the marketplace, the mods on there are at best eh though. I doubt they’d want the community to make much better mods for free at that, just like Java is right now.

[@Diplexsy]

So I'm using version 1.20.6 is there a new version of all these mods for this version or should I just downgrade

[@TheNewSkai]

That memory usage (top right of f3 menu) is absolutely insane. You're hitting your memory cap every few seconds which is what's causing the stutters. I'd recommend using the java arguments to change the garbage collection behavior so you won't get those massive stutters every few seconds. If you want I can try to paste the arguments I use.

[@kudner]

Yeah I knew it was a memory issue. If you reply with the JVM arguments I'll put it in the description

i have a problem where the shaders cause a very bad quality for the distant chunks and also trailing / frame tails, meaning when i move the camera while seeing a mountain with the sky in the background for example, the mountain creates kind of a trail, anyone know why

oh yeah u got a pretty good setup frfr alot more horsepower than i got. im running a gtx1050 with an I5 n i got DH working i had to get indium sodium iris, but it takes so long to load chunks that its really no point my render distance is the same with or with out it, its actually faster running with shaders without distant horizons. but thats on my low level pc. i will try out chunky i have DH and the others i said before along with the bobby mod. lemme know if u know of any mods that would help me further.

[@itzWarGaming]

This video bud,, cheers.

[@ishangupta4304]

I recently switched minecraft from forge optifine to fabric sodium and i did that only to use distant horizon and shaders. After switching, i found that shader compactible with DH are good but not on par with complimentary re-imagined. And i also tried complimentary with sodium but i was shocked that it doesn't looks so good. Complimentary + optifine is on another level. I think sodium does gives fps boost but if you playing in a good enough pc go with forge optifine and complimentary. It sure wont give you 200 render but you'll get 50 render with best visual graphics ever.

[@colinhendry6116]

edit: I'm dumb, misread a couple files lol--will be joining the disc for the 1.20.4 zip Appreciate the tutorial about the config, but the iris file you have in the description has half 1.20.1 mods and half 1.20.4. Does that not matter for compatibility?
