Distant Horizons (DH) was added to ArdaCraft in 2024. This mod allows you to see thousands of blocks over the map without significant lag, and now works with shaders. This article answers some common questions about the mod that you might have.
What shaders does DH work with?
DH works with the shaders installed in our modpack. If you want to use your own shaders, check out the FAQ on their discord.
Why isn’t everything visible when I join?
DH is client side. It means you have to physically go in the chunk so they can appear later with DH as LODs (Levels of Detail). If you don't want to do it yourself, one of our amazing developers has created a LOD loader that prompts you to download LODs when you first install the ArdaCraft Modpack. If you come across an issue with the LODs, or didn't download them when you first set up the Modpack, simply run the command /resetLODs ingame and restart. This will show the prompt to download LODs once again.
How can I change DH settings?
In the options screen, there is the DH logo next to the FOV slider: there you can change your settings and up the amount of LODs loaded- we have it set to low as default so as not to crash low-spec PCs and Laptops. We recommend not surpassing 300 chunks, as any further would be rendered redundant by our world curvature.
How can I install DH?
DH should already be installed with the modpack. If not, then delete your instance and reinstall.
Got an issue not mentioned here?
Whilst we do try our best to fix any issues you may have using DH on ArdaCraft, the DH official discord server is the best place for advice, technical issues and discussion around the mod in general. We recommend you try there.
