It’s an actual crime Mojang hasn’t already done this. Mad props to the mod developers that’ve made this possible!

[@jakinijeninja]

theyre just lazy and greedy, only working on bedrock, with tons of microtransactions, of course

[@joelmulder]

@@jakinijeninja Couldn’t agree more. They spend a year on adding one or two mobs with barely any functionality, whilst there’d mod developers which do stuff that radically changes the game for the better in the same time or less. Mojang is just too afraid to rock the boat and do anything actually new, because as it is now, the game is still bring in swathes of cash. Why innovate when stagnancy is more profitable?

[@klaik30]

I didnt actually know that this can be installed DIRECTLY WITH IRIS. That is such a nice quality of life feature and really makes it much less of a mod and more of just the standard in the future from what I'm seeing. I ALWAYS download iris and ALWAYS download shaders with every Minecraft update. Now I just have the option to install distant horizons with one button press and that's that? Absolutely phenomenal.

It's beautiful, especially witha texture pack and the shaders. The partly cloudy atmosphere really brings it to life.

Infinite thanks for making this video

[@theorphanobliterator]

i normally use nvidium but this is pretty cool to work with shaders. kind of hope the iris devs also try to work with nvidium because the way nvidium does far render distances is so much better.

[@samuelrollings-dehaven1749]

I updated and made sure I have Java but when I download the Iris Shaders file it doesn't open that window and won't run. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[@MaximPerry]

Waw... Thank you so much! Could you share with use your settings for Bliss? On default settings, mine seems to have way too much fog, so I can't even benefit seeing more distance...

[@angelapolo7863]

Hey, when i put DH on, my world doesnt sees with fog, like in the video, the farest chunks just dissapear, someone can help me pls? And sorry for my bad english

[@slightlywarmsoup8516]

I get a really weird glitch whenever I apply the Bliss shader where the ground gets drawn on the sky. I've downloaded from the link in your description as well as the one in the Iris discord server, but neither work. I've looked everywhere but have yet to find a solution. Do you know what this could be?

I just install distant horizon but for some reason, I still only got the default render distance even my Distant Horizon is properly installed. I tried to explore the world yet the edge of the map still went missing as usual just like the default render distance. Anyone know the issue?

Cool video, thanks!

[@JRskatrPvP]

Thanks for the tutorial! Quick question have you had any issues using ReplayMod while using DH + shaders?

[@Polarel528]

ReplayMod is not compatible with Iris 1.7 beta.

[@dark88reaper78]

For a huge performance boost: FYI dont use the normal Java that comes with the louncher. I my case it used Java 8 which has waaaay less performance than Java JDK 17. Just install that and set your louncher to java 17. You can do that in the same menu as the ram. After installing go to the menu and click on browse: then navigate to programmfiles/java/jdk-17/bin and select the java.exe Thank me later

[@EmmanuelB]

I can't tell I saw a huge performance boost tbh. Not sure I've even seen boost at all. I'll leave it a bit like that to see on the long run.

[@garette8672]

@@EmmanuelB minecraft can't even run on java 8 anymore its impossible, the launcher automatically installs the compatible java so you were already on java 17

[@Sir_Fray]

Interesting, for whatever reson its only giving me about 30 fps, not sure the cause, but its amazing how far things have come.

[@Diplexsy]

When I turn it off I get a big red writing saying java rendering is disablred or something like that and the when I turn it back on DIstant Horizions breaks and makes the further blocks all weird... any tips to fix it? I followed every step of the video. I'm on the latest version of fabric 1.20.6

[@saccboi]

what settings would you recommend for a 3060ti, i7 11700k, and 16 gigs of ram

[@TheSpookyOficial]

I have a rayzen 9 5900x with which I would hope to be able to use the cpu setting aggressively, however when doing this the game freezes and closes. I am using the beta version for minecraft 1.20.4. Does it have to do with this or simply my cpu cannot handle this?

[@MILLs_666]

i have this weird bug thing where any blocks that are about 7-10 blocks away have this weird grid linew around them and it fades away as i walk towards them. not sure if this is a DH problem.

[@FubarMike]

I have my mods and distant horizons installed through cursed forge and I went to add iris and bliss shaders on top of that outside of curse forge and it doesn't work. The iris and bliss shaders get ignored.

[@Bammyy]

Cool video, thank you

[@Konnor1224]

very good video... i allways have problems with tutorial vid.. not this time ur great

[@Kanal-zh4ro]

Is there a way to have this for 1.19.2? Because i created a modpack for that version and this shader is the last piece which is missing for completion

[@johnathan71118]

Would love to see your take on the bobby + nvidium alternative. No shaders but full detail in rendering at extreme render distances

[@gavinferguson2938]

It would be a strong contender if it supported shaders, maybe after DH is finished its development with Iris they might move onto nvidium and Vulken mod.

[@xUMADxTrOlLiN]

can you just dl the mods and drag them over to a curseforge profile? or is there more back end to it that requires the installer?

[@bryanchamberlain790]

it keeps giving me chat messages and it keeps showing the "this pack does not have dh support" message even though shaders are disabled.

[@valetj6330]

is anything required for the mod settings to appear near the FOV slider? or did i do the entire install incorrectly

[@goonygoogoo8942]

my render doesn't go that far even when I have distant horizon on can I get a suggestion

[@jamyjet]

That Iris installer download isn't an executable as shown in the video though...?

[@ncklaus31]

if you are running minecraft in Tlauncher what you can do

[@misterm14]

bro but i still everything and when i try the shaders i can see only to the renders chuncks as if distants horizons have been disabled but it is enabled, then when i disable the shader then i can see the whole world with the lod mod. someone can help me?

[@KillBasix]

I get the “Shader pack doesn’t have DH support” red message when I load in and the chunks are only visible at default range with a whole lot of java script messages covering my screen

[@1nZaneR]

very cool. What do I need when I want to run a JAVA server on a computer in my local network with this? Does the server also need to be fabric? Do I need to put in all the mods from the client into the server mod folder? Edit: so everything works like a charm but at this moment the installer comes with in MC version 1.20.4 and so has to be the server.jar - a very plain installation works for me, my kids can play now on our local dedicated server with DH and shaders on. One thing I'm not sure about is wether the full view distance works on the server, I put 512 as view distance in the server-properties file but I'm not sure if this is having an effect. View distance looks much further in single player, so I assume the server only does allow only 32? Is there a way to bypass this?

[@Tusiriakest]

what is the most realistic resource map we can use with this set up?

[@user-rv9nv4vd8b]

how to fix the resolution? I tried changing it via the launcher but doesn't seem to fix it......

[@Sundara229]

If Fabric Loader doesn't show up in the Minecraft launcher, make sure to manually create the "mods" inside the ".minecraft" folder.

[@Definetlynotguitarhero]

Whenever I install Iris, it tells me I'm playing with an unsupported version of Distant Horizons. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[@theredbaron745]

I can't seem to get this working even on lowest settings. Whenever i try there is weird visual bugs, ghosting, and blobby rendering. I'm running an AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX, Radeon RX 6800M and 16gb of ram. The game runs fine without the mod, but gets all choppy and stuttery and buggy when i try to use it. everyone else makes it seem so seamless but i can't get it working. I've even dropped Minecraft's graphics settings to the minimum with no substantial difference

I followed all of the steps and for me, looks like just the chuncks around spawm load and when I go to load new ones and explore, its like im playing skyblock and the chuncks dissapear behind me.

[@brockgan8941]

It has much worse fps than optifine

[@EmmanuelB]

Somehow, I can't get it to work properly. It won't load distant chunks until I have visited them directly ; and as soon as I enable Bliss, it just switch to the normal distance rendering. I think I'll stay with Bobby + Complementary for the moment. Bliss look cool tho, especially the water, but I find it a bit too "cold" compared to Complementary , and I'm really, really missing the "show light level when holding a light source" option.

[@gofr36]

same problem

it dont work for me at all and its very very glitchy, chuncks are not fully generated if im not close and some of chunks just disappear when i go away
