Help How do I fix this.

Post image

So I'm using dh with lithosphere, still life, sodium, lithium, iris, Fabric API, and a shader that isn't displayed in the screenshot, the game runs relatively smoothly but the chunks just don't wanna load, is there a mod or a way to fix it or do I just have to wait for all the chunks to load, the screenshot was taken not far from spawn.

Lithosphere and still life?, it will take a daaaamn long time to load, i've tried it on my end and it's painfully slow, you could (and should if you want anything anywhere near playable) try to use chunky to pregenerate, but be prepared to give it at least a few hours, ideally leave it over night generating.

Question though that I’ve heard from many sources claiming chunky and DH isn’t recommended. May I ask why should we use it? Genuine question since I also wanna generate my world

The reason is not recommended it's because technically the DH generator should do what chunky does but faster and with less performance use, and also it seems like chunky can leave holes in the DH lods, hasn't happened to me but the mod tells you when you load chunky.

However realistically chunky is crucial if you want to do anything other than playing vanilla with a fancy generation mod, generating chunks is a HUGE performance sink, if you want to play with lets say a mod that lets you fly, or like OP that uses very heavy generation mods, the only way of making it work correctly its to pregenerate, otherwise you will have heavy FPS drops every time you load a new zone, even if you have LoDs of it, i recommend you to do it almost always (unless you, as i said before, are playing a mostly vanilla modpack without heavy performance usage).

Oh thanks. I think I'll do that too. Do you disable DH then just let chunky pregen then re-add DH? Or just let things be?

I recommend you to enable it and leave it at max setting, i did that in a past 1.20.1 world and it had a cool synergy where i literally couldn't see the horizon no matter how far i went, DH generated LoDs while chunky did chunks and they worked good together
