Ciff side 1

Vanilla render distance 4. Mod render distance 512.

256 render distance

By default Distant Horizons renders 256 chunks wide, but can go up to 4096! (although anything above 512 may become difficult due to high VRAM/GPU usage)

Variable Detail

Fake chunks closer will become larger and less detailed the further they are from the player, increasing performance.

The End

Finding end cities will be much easier now. Photo taken by: Bunshaman
