# What is Distant Horizons?
|
|
|
|
Distant Horizons is a Minecraft mod that adds a Level Of Detail (LOD) system to\
|
|
render simplified chunks outside the normal render distance\
|
|
allowing for an increased view distance without harming performance.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* A Java Development Kit (JDK) for Java 17 (recommended) or newer. <br>
|
|
Visit https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/ for installers.
|
|
* Git or someway to clone git projects. <br>
|
|
Visit https://git-scm.com/ for installers.
|
|
* (Not required) Any Java IDE with plugins that support Manifold, for example Intellij IDEA.
|
|
|
|
**If using IntelliJ:**
|
|
1. Install the Manifold plugin
|
|
2. Open IDEA and import the build.gradle
|
|
3. Refresh the Gradle project in IDEA if required
|
|
|
|
**If using Eclipse: (Note that Eclipse doesn't support Manifold's preprocessor!)**
|
|
1. Run the command: `./gradlew geneclipseruns`
|
|
2. Run the command: `./gradlew eclipse`
|
|
3. Make sure eclipse has the JDK 17 installed. (This is needed so that eclipse can run minecraft)
|
|
4. Import the project into eclipse
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Switching Versions
|
|
|
|
To switch between different Minecraft versions, change `mcVer=1.?` in the `gradle.properties` file.
|
|
|
|
If running in an IDE, to ensure the IDE noticed the version change, run any gradle command to refresh gradle. (In IntellJ you will also need to do a gradle sync if it didn't happen automatically.)
|
|
>Note: There may be a `java.nio.file.FileSystemException` thrown when running the command after switching versions. To fix it, either restart your IDE (as your IDE is probably locking a file) or use a tool like LockHunter to unlock the linked file(s). (Generally it is a lib file under `common\build\lib`, `forge\build\lib`, or `fabric\build\lib`). \

|
## Compiling
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites:
|
|
- JDK 17 or newer
|
|
|
|
From the File Explorer:
|
|
1. Download and extract the project zip
|
|
2. Download the core from https://gitlab.com/jeseibel/distant-horizons-core and extract into a folder called `coreSubProjects`
|
|
3. Open a terminal emulator in the project folder (On Windows you can type `cmd` in the title bar)
|
|
4. Run the commands: `./gradlew assemble`
|
|
5. The compiled jar file will be in the folder `Merged`
|
|
|
|
From the command line:
|
|
1. `git clone --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/jeseibel/minecraft-lod-mod.git`
|
|
2. `cd minecraft-lod-mod`
|
|
3. `./gradlew assemble`
|
|
4. The compiled jar file will be in the folder `Merged`
|
|
|
|
Run tests with: `./gradlew test`
|
|
|
|
>Note: You can add the arg: `-PmcVer=?` to tell gradle to build a selected MC version instead of having to modify the `gradle.properties` file. \
|
|
> Example: `./gradlew assemble -PmcVer=1.18.2`
|
|
|
|
|
|
<Br>
|
|
|
|
## Other commands
|
|
|
|
`./gradlew --refresh-dependencies` to refresh local dependencies.
|
|
|
|
`./gradlew clean` to delete any compiled code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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 & [Parchment](https://parchmentmc.org/) mappings.
|
|
|
|
To generate the source code run `./gradlew genSources`\
|
|
If your IDE fails to auto-detect the source jars when browsing Minecraft classes; manually select the JAR file ending with -sources.jar when prompted by your IDE. <br>
|
|
(In IntelliJ it's at the top where it says "choose sources" when browsing a Minecraft class)
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Other Useful commands
|
|
|
|
Run the standalone jar: `./gradlew run`\
|
|
Build the standalone jar: `./gradlew core:build`\
|
|
Only build Fabric: `./gradlew fabric:assemble` or `./gradlew fabric:build`\
|
|
Only build Forge: `./gradlew fabric:assemble` or `./gradlew forge:build`\
|
|
Run the Fabric client (for debugging): `./gradlew fabric:runClient`\
|
|
Run the Forge client (for debugging): `./gradlew forge:runClient`
|
|
|
|
To build all versions: `./buildAll` (all builds will end up in the `Merged` folder)
|
