# Distant Horizons
This mod adds a Level Of Detail (LOD) system to Minecraft.\
This implementation renders simplified chunks outside the normal render distance\
allowing for an increased view distance without harming performance.
Or in other words: this mod lets you see farther without turning your game into a slide show.\
If you want to see a quick demo, check out a video covering the mod here:

Forge version: 1.16.5-36.1.0
Notes:\
This version has been confirmed to work in Eclipse and Retail Minecraft.\
(Retail running forge version 1.16.5-36.1.0)
This repo is for the Distant Horizons mod.
The purpose of this separate repo is to isolate code that isn't specific to any singular version of minecraft. This prevents us from having duplicate code and potentially helps us port to different versions faster and easier.
Check out the mod's main GitLab page here:

## source code installation
See the Forge Documentation online for more detailed instructions:\
http://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gettingstarted/
1. Create a system variable called "JAVA_MC_HOME" with the location of the JDK 1.8.0_251 (This is needed for gradle to work correctly)
2. replace JAVA_HOME with JAVA_MC_HOME in gradle.bat
3. open a command line in the project folder
**If using Ecplise:**
1. run the command: `./gradlew geneclipseruns`
2. run the command: `./gradlew eclipse`
3. Make sure eclipse has the JDK 1.8.0_251 installed. (This is needed so that eclipse can run minecraft)
4. Import the project into eclipse
**If using IntelliJ:**
1. open IDEA and import the build.gradle
2. run the command: `./gradlew genIntellijRuns`
3. refresh the Gradle project in IDEA if required
## Compiling
1. open a command line in the project folder
2. run the command: `./gradlew build`
3. the compiled jar file will be in the folder `build\libs`
## Other commands
`./gradlew --refresh-dependencies` to refresh local dependencies.
`./gradlew clean` to reset everything (this does not affect your code) and then start the process again.
## Note to self
The Minecraft source code is NOT added to your workspace in an editable way. Minecraft is treated like a normal Library. Sources are there for documentation and research purposes only.
Source code uses Mojang mappings.
The source code can be 'created' with the `./eclipse` command and can be found in the following path:\
`minecraft-lod-mod\build\fg_cache\mcp\ VERSION \joined\ RANDOM_STRING \patch\output.jar`
You shouldn't download this repo directly.
It should be automatically included when pulling the full mod.
