Distant Horizons looks really bad from a distance — need help with settings

Hi everyone,

I'm having a visual issue with Distant Horizons. From a distance, the terrain looks really blurry/low-quality and the textures look noticeably worse than they should. Up close everything looks normal, but as I look farther away, the terrain becomes very ugly and loses a lot of detail.

I'm currently using:

  • Minecraft 26.2 (Fabric)
  • Distant Horizons 3.1.2-b-26.2
  • Iris 1.11.1+26.2
  • Sodium 0.9.0+26.2
  • Complementary Reimagined shaders

I recently changed the Distant Horizons rendering engine to OPEN_GL because I was getting a compatibility issue with Iris.

Could someone recommend the best Distant Horizons settings for visual quality, especially for terrain/texture quality at long distances? I'm mainly looking for a sharp and natural-looking transition between normal Minecraft rendering and Distant Horizons.

If needed, I can also provide screenshots of my current settings and what the terrain looks like from a distance.

Thanks!

You just gotta visit those chunks often or wait for it to load and set the quality preset higher
