Description

Updated to 1.21.11!

Distantly Optimized is a modpack featuring Distant Horizions 2.0 and a beta version of Iris, letting you see really, really far, as well as a few shaderpacks that support Distant Horizons, incredible worldgen powered by Tectonic, and some utility mods.

It is designed to be lightweight, work on any server, and update faster than anyone else.

Best part is, it works right out of the box! The only settings you need to worry about are in the main menu of Distant Horizon's settings, accessed by the button to the right of the FOV slider, in the options menu.

What about framerate?

With the settings and specs listed below, I had a stable 70 FPS.

You actually dont need a powerful PC to run this, plus you can turn down Distant Horizons quality and render distance settings, as well as shaders.

Extra Features

Tectonic, the worldgen mod included in this modpack, adds amazing world generation to Minecraft, using only vanilla blocks. No extra setup required.

To get a better view of your surroundings, press Z(rebindable as "Toggle Perspective"). Hold K and scroll to zoom out or in, and press Z twice to go back to normal view.

Hold C and scroll to zoom in.

To play with friends, pause the game and open a LAN world. Then look in chat for a IP you can give to your friends to join your world!

Thanks to X0nk for adding Distant Horizions support to Bliss, one of my favorite shader packs! You can find the version included here, which supports Distant Horizons on his Github and CurseForge pages:
