# 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:

|
|
|
|
**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
|

|
|
**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 1.17.1 --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/jeseibel/minecraft-lod-mod.git`
|
|
2. `cd minecraft-lod-mod`

## 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`
|
|
