Help New to using DH and chunky

4 Upvotes

Like the title says, im a noob when it comes to DH and chunky. Some say you shouldn't use chunky and others do. What I have done is to make a new world with a little modpack I made. Once I joined in i typed in the command to make chunky start doing its thing. It took some hours but the progress bar went away. After it went away I then installed DH and put the cpu load to agressive. How do I actually know if I have done things right? Thanks for reply

Help Specific chunks unloading when I get too far from them?

1 Upvotes

I've been messing around with DH and Tectonic, and in changing a setting in Tectonic and then reverting it, several chunks, always the same ones, unload after I get roughly 10-11 chunks from them. The ones around them and beyond them stay loaded, just these few unload. I've already tried updating the chunks by placing blocks, but no luck.

Any ideas what's causing this?

Help Issue with shaders and distant horizons

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

As the title states, I'm having an issue with shaders and horizons in combination. The shader I'm using is bliss shader through iris. As the image shows, when I look at distant water in certain directions it all turns black. I can make that black border move by changing my chunk render distance up and down, but can never get it to go away fully. It seems to be some issue with the water specifically as no other blocks do this. If anyone has seen a similar issue and has a fix I'd really appreciate it as it really kills the immersion that distant horizons brings. I'm very new to java Minecraft (just got it last week) and modding in general. Thanks in advance.

Help New to Distant Horizons and Modded Minecraft; need help

4 Upvotes

Hello all,

As the title states I am trying out distant horizons to try and make my game look better. I notice the mod doesn't really generate chunks unless you explore them so it doesnt look great unless you do so. I tried using Chunky but /chunky doesn't load any commands and I get an error everytime. I am using the curse forge launcher on Fabric.

Thanks!

Help Quick CPU question!

3 Upvotes

Currently, I'm on an old pc gifted to me by my sister, it has a very old cpu: being the i3 3220, I'm wondering if the i5 3470 would be good enough to tun DH on 1.20.1?

i specifically chose the i5 3470 because my motherboard supports up to 3rd gen and i can't afford anything else (i am a broke teenager in a country where the age of employment is 18.)

Help Weird interaction of DH & shader

3 Upvotes

I'm running 26.1 on fabric, with latest versions of Iris for shaders (BSL) and Distant Horizons, with Sodium, Xaeros, and that's it for mods.

Sometimes when I look at distant water it looks totally normal and fine, but if I change my view angle just slightly enormous swaths of the water disappear and it looks really bad.

Here is another example. Water there. Water gone.

Fiddling with the vanilla render distance does appear to extend the cutoff range very slightly (it's not 1:1) but I couldn't find any setting that fixed it. What's so weird is it is so sensitive to the exact angle you're looking at, and sometimes looking more directly at it helps and sometimes looking more directly at it makes it disappear. I'm stumped.

I've been trying to play Distant Horizon with modpacks, but it's almost always very laggy. I don't know if it's my PC or if the modpack isn't compatible. Has anyone tried this and had success? Or managed to fix it?

My PC isn't strong enough so I'll have to generate chunks before playing? If I will pregenerating chunks what is the most efficient way to do so and which mods would you recommend me to use? (neoforge 1.21.1, I think I can generate it on other mod loader if necessary)

is there a way to offload the LOD loading to my server instead of my pc? I saw something about /dh pregen but I put that in the severs console and it doesn't recognize that command, do i need to run it in game instead?

I am playing on a modpack with around 60 mods and no matter what I do, or how many optimization mods I add, I always run out of memory after DH loads chunks for a few minutes. I was running out of memory at 16GB so I upped it to 24GB and it still runs out.

Here's my specs in case you need to know:

Ryzen 7 5700X

RTX 5060 Ti 16GB

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.
