# 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:

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`
|
|
