I love the "im not supposed to be here vibe" you get from those bottom layers of the world. Is strangely liminal in a nightmarish sort of way.

[@accelerationnation8171]

This mod really caught my eye at 0:24 because in my experience, most people who make minecraft mods don’t seem to understand the true scale of mountains. As someone who has personally hiked up mountains to their peaks, I can attest to the sheer size of them! Most mods only make mountains into large hills, which is really disappointing because mountains are much more impressive than that in real life.

[@user99i]

YES!

[@Shyning]

Well so far it was also because it was not possible to get high mountains in MC. Now that the range can be edited and more computers can actually such more dense chunks... it's getting better and better.

[@CocoRoachGAMING]

haha it really caught your eye because hes an eye haha im so funny

[@twrk139]

When you get more and more verticality it becomes very cumbersome to move around.

[@Shyning]

@@twrk139 using Step Up solves most of it. Also, I do like vast expanses as it encourages using other means of transport, making a few vanilla features and many mods much more interesting to delve into.

@@concretywatch oh fair enough then

[@mithrillis]

I feel the render distance mods have completely unlocked the limitations on terrain generation mods. It used to be that you need to look good within at most 32 chunks, but these days you can have massive, slow-changing biomes and still look great.

[@MIDA-Multi-Tool]

the amount of effort put into some of the features of this mod is crazy from the wiki (just a few examples): - Ball of String: leaves a trail behind you as you navigate caves. backtracking will recollect the string - Percussive Hammer: used to find nearby caves. when you hit the side of a block, it will make a sound. if there is another cave within 32 blocks, you'll hear a 2nd sound after a short delay - Spelunking Armor w/ Rope: used to descend into deep caves. anchors can be placed on ledges to attach a rope - Clouds are actual blocks now and you can extract "Aura" from them with bottles. Use aura to craft waypoints - Hyperspace (!!!), a new dimension used for fast-travel. distance in Hyperspace is non-linear, so if you have waypoints that are a few hundred blocks away from each other in the overworld, they will only be a few blocks apart in Hyperspace this stuff is nuts. it always baffle me how the best mods have the least downloads.

[@julianzbk]

[@hoatzinn3106]

This is what I would a imagine a terraria like biome mod looks like

[@semmu93]

[@bungerlord]

I can hear my PC overheating just from watching the video

[@williamturner7131]

Right? This is how I always wanted Minecraft to be (and would be perfect to go along mods like Create) but I can't imagine how heavy the strain would be. Especially with the bugginess between shaders and it, and how Distant Horizons would be required to actually make it worthwhile to use.

[@xenird]

3060 handles this ez

[@Zaphod_]

If your PC was actually overheating you wouldn't hear anything because it would just shut down (assuming nothing is wrong)

[@xenird]

Distant Horizons barely drops fps it is handled easily on low end PCs and a 3060 would easily render it with shaders that's what level of detail means

[@artofthebuild2280]

I am pretty sure that mod adds a game feature that ALL other games normally have to increase fps by downing the quality the further away you are from the thing you are looking at so can't tell that its even happened

[@ahmicqui9396]

I know right? How does this work without completely crashing the game/overloading the device?

[@colbyboucher6391]

​@@ahmicqui9396 Distant Horizons functions by only _simulating_ chunks. They aren't truly loaded, no mobs or tracking things like water or crops or... anything. They're just 3D models that resemble chunks. If you look at them closely, they don't actually render all blocks, just an approximation that looks similar, and with generated textures which usually amount to flat colors. It's how most modern games render distant terrain and objects.

[@colbyboucher6391]

As far as Big World itself is concerned, I bet it _does_ overload whatever you're using, unless it's operating on the assumption that you use Cubic Chunks. Normally Minecraft needs to load the whole world vertically and even normal Caves & Cliffs has introduced intermittent block lag, regardless of how powerful the PC or server is. Too many mobs spawning even naturally.

@@colbyboucher6391 That I know, I use DH all the time! But the THOUSAND block deep chunks are insane, maybe it does use cubic chunks?

Generation of undergrounds is crazy.

Distant Horizon's sky island stretching is a common issue. You can fix it in a couple different ways depending on why it's not working right, but I believe LOD quality and vertical resolution are the main culprits. the higher, the better, but not always fixable. The extremely high max height is probably part of the problem when it comes to vertical resolution.

[@artofthebuild2280]

Can you all look at what distance horizons actually does cause it is a fps INCREASER by adding the (lower the quality the further away the thing is) that MOST other games have.

[@BreakyOnline]

Yeah, LOD is literally the only major thing that Distant Horizons adds to the game, and it helps in reducing performance clutter because you can just set your in-game render distance to like 6 chunks and still get that "massive world" feeling

[@concretywatch]

It decreases fps but increases render distance

[@xenird]

​@@concretywatchdecreases by like 1%

[@ronniedrake.]

[@augustine6683]

It increases fps but your actual render distance will have to be lower than your normal amount for the same performance in vanilla.

Oh maaaaaan, this is perfect, always wanted a bigger world. Reminds me of those videos the dude made comparing the deepest cave/ocean and highest mountain to minecraft depths, but modenized and with full world gen

[@muovd]

This caves in this mod remind me of the PlanetCore mod for 1.12.2. That mod also had y-level dependant caves and also became hotter the more you go down. I think this mod takes inspiration from it.

[@ThePaperKhan]

I don't know, getting hotter as you go down isn't really a unique idea.

[@ScareSans]

Ok, this looks absolutely awesome. I love how pretty much all of the new blocks it adds are small things that enhance the gameplay specifically involving the new worldgen, like ropes and rope anchors for descending into caves from above and terrain blocks to help biomes transition more smoothly. I'm definitely going to give this mod a shot! Really hope my poor mid-range PC will survive the ordeal!

[@K4animation]

@@Gandhi_Physique I mean, I have the exact same CPU as AsianHalfSquat and with the default generation it takes around 8 hours for me to render 1024 render distance so I wouldn't be very surprised when this generation is way more heavy and the world is taller

[@Gandhi_Physique]

@@K4animation You do realize 1024 is waaaay bigger than 250 right? It may seem like a 4x difference, but it is 16x more chunks. 8 hours / 16 is about 30 minutes. Also, you may have the same CPU, but do you have the same GPU and RAM allocated? That matters too.

[@K4animation]

@@Gandhi_Physique I have 4080 when he has 4090, but GPU doesn't really affect chunk generation anyway. Maybe you're right, I'm just wondering because pretty much every custom generation mod affects the rendering time a lot for me, and this mod changes the height of the world significantly

Fabric is just better than forge

Well he does like to cover mods that are less well known which usually end up being fabric mods.

Mods like this prove to me that Mojang is really holding back the games true potential. Imagine with their budget and resources if they made this the standard generation.

[@noelka8134]

Mojang only needs money. Just like any other ig company. It's as simple as that. They have no interest in actually making a good game.

[@GrantGryczan]

You realize if they did that, this game would struggle even more to run on low-end devices

[@WTC2014]

@@GrantGryczan that's why games have options, they could add different levels of generation based on what the player wants.

[@GrantGryczan]

@@WTC2014 "Just adding an option" to completely overhaul how world generation works wouldn't be a great idea. They should aim to create a great default experience that works well for everyone. You shouldn't be restricted from an entire main game mode depending on hardware. Minecraft is intended to be as accessible as possible to everyone, so it would be a terrible idea to add an entire overhauled mode of gameplay that only works for a small fraction of their players. If they did add this as just an option that only some people could use, people wouldn't be happy. Also, as a UX designer, I've seen firsthand it's a bad idea in general to just add an option as a solution to a problem. There's usually a solution to the same problem that doesn't make players have to configure another option. Having good defaults leads to the best experience, and options should ideally only be used when necessary to tailor player preferences, generally speaking. This isn't always true, but if you want to add an option for something, you should have a solid justification. The difficulty option is a good example: different players look for different levels of challenge in their gameplay, and there's not a great way to allow players access to the entirety of the game's content while fitting different preferences without just letting them change how hard the game is.

0:50 You can use chunky mod to help the process make it easier as you can you the chunky command in survival and it will load the chunks for you might take some time based on you SSD speed and your CPU speed and power but with you having a 4090 I'm sure you have other good components

Hey, you could use chunky for generating the world :) 1:10

With properly configured DH would not be that much faster in itself

[@ayanami9504]

What is it? Can it help me generate far chunks by simply staying AFK? I'm looking for a mod that loads a lot of chunks without having to "visit" them.

[@Joshiidkwhy]

@@ayanami9504 yep that's baisics is it allows you to pregenerate your world

[@cola98765]

@@ayanami9504 Chunky lets you generate world in the backgrond with defined settings. DH also have that by default, but is not making fully representative chunks, by finishing early so it discards them instead of saving them as real ones too. Using chunky with DH will make DH either see that a chunk is generated (therefore loaded) so it processes it, (in this case you you need to have distant generation disabled), OR if you did not run DH While Chunky did it's thing DH will realise that given chunk already exists on your disk.

[@Rio_3505]

chunky sucks and takes ages

[@ererbe]

Kinda amazing, I will probably play this once with friends but its not gonna be a world were we do the massive amount of farming or building. this is something you explore until you think you have seen everything.
