WorldFarView

Inspired by FarPlane2, this mod enhances render distance using Level of Detail (LOD) planes.

Image of LOD's from y=3500 with resolution = 70 and start size = 1024

🚀 Features

• Dynamic LOD-based rendering
• Configurable render distance and quality settings
• Server-side compatibility controls
• Extensible API for custom chunk generators

🔧 Installation & Usage

1. Install the mod on both client and server.
2. Join a world - the mod activates automatically.
   • Note: High resolutions may require longer loading times.

• Currently supports only noise-based chunk generators (vanilla-compatible).
  • The mod will notify you if any compatibility issues arise.

⚠️ Development Notice: This mod is still in active development and may have stability issues.

⚙️ Configuration

Client Settings (Editable in-game via Mods menu)

Render Distance Formula:
Total Distance = LOD0 Start Size × (2 ^ Number of LODs)

Example: If LOD0 Start Size = 1000 and Number of LODs = 3, the max distance is 1000 × 8 = 8000 blocks.

⚠️ If the server rejects client settings (e.g., unsupported resolution), the mod will auto-disable.

Server Settings (Can be found in world/server files)

🛠️ For Developers: Adding Compatibility

To integrate your custom world generator:

1. Implement FarChunkGenerator and register it in FarChunkGenerators.
2. For client-side support, create:
   • ClientFarChunkGenerator
   • SerializableFarChunkGenerator<YourClientFarChunkGenerator>

📌 Performance Note: Ensure your chunk generator is optimized for speed!
