Horizon Reach Render Mod (1.21.1, 1.20.1) – See Distant Server Landscapes

Horizon Reach Render Mod sends distant level of detail data from the server directly to connected players. In multiplayer worlds, players normally have to visit every chunk before far-off terrain appears on their client. This mod stores distant terrain on the server and transfers it right away, showing mountain ranges, large builds, and landscapes the moment anyone connects. It keeps distant terrain up to date whenever players place blocks, break structures, or reshape the land.

Features:

• Sends saved LOD terrain chunks directly from the server to connected players upon joining.
• Removes the need for each player to explore every chunk individually just to see distant views.
• Updates far-off landscape data when players build structures or change blocks in the world.
• Includes an optional setting to display other players standing far away across the horizon.
• Bridges distant server chunks into Xaero’s World Map without needing huge vanilla render distances.
• Uses compressed network transfers to protect server internet bandwidth and memory.
• Saves persistent terrain cache files on the server for fast reading.
• Works inside singleplayer worlds and local LAN sessions just like on dedicated servers.

Commands:

• /vss help: Displays the help guide for all available server management commands.
• /vss stats: Shows current transmission rates and active LOD cache details.
• /vss bandwidth get: Checks the current bandwidth limit used for sending terrain data.
• /vss bandwidth set_kbps <value>: Sets the maximum outgoing network speed in kilobits per second.
• /vss distance get: Checks the active synchronization radius for distant terrain chunks.
• /vss distance set <chunks>: Adjusts how many chunks away the server will send terrain data.
• /vss generation enable: Turns on background generation for missing terrain data on the server.
• /vss generation disable: Turns off background terrain generation on the server.
• /vss farplayers enable: Turns on the experimental rendering display for distant players.
• /vss farplayers disable: Turns off the distant player rendering display.
• /vssclient xaero enable: Turns on map writing for Xaero’s World Map on the client.
• /vssclient xaero disable: Turns off map writing for Xaero’s World Map on the client.
• /vssclient xaero reload: Clears local map records and re-requests fresh terrain data from the server.

How to Use:

1. Install this mod on both your server and your Minecraft client.
2. Install Voxy on your client to render the distant terrain geometry.
3. Join the server to start receiving distant world data outward from your position.
4. Use /vss distance set <chunks> in the server console to control how far players can see.
