What is Distant Horizons? The Ultimate Minecraft LOD Mod Guide
Distant Horizons is a free, open-source Minecraft mod that revolutionizes how far you can see in the game. Using a Level of Detail (LOD) system, it renders simplified terrain beyond your normal render distance — allowing views up to 512+ chunks away without tanking your framerate.
Whether you're playing on Fabric or NeoForge, Distant Horizons works as a client-side mod, meaning you can install it and join any server. It's compatible with popular performance mods like Sodium and shader packs like Complementary Reimagined, BSL, and Bliss Shaders.
This guide provides everything you need: a comprehensive shader compatibility database, a smart configuration generator tailored to your hardware, and community-sourced troubleshooting guides for common issues like chunk flickering, memory overflow, and shader conflicts.
