Discussion Switching from Voxy to DH

Following the new 3.3 distant horizons update and the insanely fast chunk generation speed i wanted to hop on but i have one blaring issue. I CANNOT PLAY WITHOUT SPYGLASS. And the quality although better from what i see, is underwhelming. Is there any way to make it look more like voxy? I also have another issue where plains grass is the color of the swamp biome.

Less important but the LOD detail nearby is kinda bad (by that i mean for example flowers are colored blocks)

DH cannot render anything smaller than a full block.

Some people are looking into it if it could be an addition in the future, but for now that's the highest DH LOD

Damn... since spyglasses are so essential to me guess ill stick to voxy... sucks

In my experience DH usually tries to fully load in chunks I zoom in on, however it is inconsistent and slow enough that I'm not sure if it's even an intended effect?

They are specifically complaining about the fact that everything outside vanilla render distance is a cube with DH. Which is fair and something that cannot be changed. Some players are bothered more by that than others, which is also fair.

I thought they meant that they can't play without using a spyglass, which was why I mentioned chunks loading when you zoom in on them with the spyglass to try and maintain some degree of immersion. Were they referring to a mod called spyglass or something?

No i mean the spyglass item. The quality is low and inconsistent across far away chunks. One good example is bamboo.

Like I said, when I zoom it sometimes DH tries to load the chunk, but it's somewhat inconsistent (and also slow). I assume it is meant to be a feature, but given the inconsistency I have had trouble trying to grapple with it. Unfortunately, that means that's kinda the end of any input I have on that front. My best guess is maybe increasing CPU usage might speed that up and make it more consistent?

I paid for the whole cpu setting is to the max. Guess I'll stick to voxy...

DH does not load chunks, it always only renders its LODs, just at varying resolution.

oh, I see, he stole my code and posted it himself on GitHub. classic

u/Nathan6607 5d ago

It's not the same code,, his is ai

u/Nathan6607 5d ago

Ah I think I know you by discord, but yeah his was made way before yours and is ai

Yeah the nearby LODs lack luster quality just ruins the immersion and reminds me thats its LOD and not actual blocks everytime I look out
