# 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:

## source code installation
|
|
|
|
See the Forge Documentation online for more detailed instructions:\
|
|
http://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gettingstarted/
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* A Java Development Kit (JDK) for Java 16 (recommended) or newer. Visit https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/ for installers.
|
|
* Git or someway to clone git projects. Visit https://git-scm.com/ for installers.
|
|
* (Not required) Any Java IDE, for example Intellij IDEA and Eclipse. You may also use any other code editors, such as Visual Studio Code. (Optional)
|
|
It's better to use IntelliJ IDEA since Eclipse is not supported by Architectury, but it still works.
|
|
|
|
**If using IntelliJ:**
|
|
1. open IDEA and import the build.gradle
|
|
2. refresh the Gradle project in IDEA if required
|
|
|
|
**If using Ecplise:**
|
|
Not supported...
|
|
|
|
Side note: invalidate caches and restart if required
|
|
|
|
## Compiling
|
|
|
|
**Using GUI**
|
|
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 `fabric/build/libs/` and `forge/build/libs/`
|
|
|
|
**If in terminal:**
|
|
1. `git clone -b 1.16.5_architectury --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/jeseibel/minecraft-lod-mod.git`
|
|
2. `cd minecraft-lod-mod`
|
|
3. `./gradlew assemble` or `./gradlew build`
|
|
4. The build should be in `fabric/build/libs/` and `forge/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.
|
|
|
|
## Useful commands
|
|
|
|
Build only Fabric: `./gradlew fabric:assemble` or `./gradlew fabric:build`\
|
|
Build only Forge: `./gradlew fabric:assemble` or `./gradlew forge:build`\
|
|
Run the Fabric client (for debugging): `./gradlew fabric:runClient`\
|
|
Run the Forge client (**THIS DOST WORK** due to a bug with architectury): `./gradlew forge:runClient`\
|
|
To use a custom version of Java use `-D` then the path for Java
