superDuperVanilla shaderpack - Bamboo and similar blocks have these issues

Hi, I'm not familiar with the technical terms used throughout this server but I don't think these are mentioned (i.e. not "intended") because I can only see this issue when using the shader superDuperVanilla. According to the shader creator, the issue lies with DH (but what do I know) so I just thought I'd check in here in case you can tell what's going on.

Would be very thankful for any help. I've tried changing settings back and forth in both DH and the shader, with no result.

I am using the latest DH release and this issue has been there since I started using night builds a few weeks ago, so I waited for this major release before asking for help.

Solution

Hole at the edge of vanilla Render Distance, especially during movement:

This is caused by either vanilla terrain not loading in fast enough, or shader's incorrect overdraw prevention implementation or configuration (if you use one)
Some world gen speed improvement can be found when adding these two mods, but the affect will be minor:
- Noisium
- Faster Random
There is another mod that may help:

C2ME

C2ME

. However, it can decrease DH generation speed by up to 35%.
The easiest fix is to move slower and/or ignore it. This hole is most visible while moving over not generated (by vanilla) terrain. Moving over that terrain every subsequent time may not create the hole. And moving slower will give MC more time to load the chunks as you go.
If none of that helped, you can also tune the overdraw prevention, look at the third section to know how.

Low quality full blocks behind and around non-full block, e.g. fences or ladders:

This is intended behavior, to prevent holes in the world while you move, DH will overlap with some part of the vanilla terrain.
How much of the terrain is covered is determined by the overdraw prevention:
-

1.0

1.0

will mean DH LODs start where vanilla chunks end.
-

0.0

0.0

will mean that DH render everywhere starting from your position.
To fix this, you can either:
- Increase your vanilla RD, which will move the DH LODs further from you.
- Tune the Overdraw Prevention setting, see the next section to know how.

Where to edit the overdraw prevention setting?

Overdraw prevention setting can be edited inside the DH config under:

Advanced > Graphics > Advanced Graphics

Advanced > Graphics > Advanced Graphics

But if you use shaders, they will override and take control of the overdraw prevention.
In that case, check the shader's settings, if overdraw prevention is not there, contact the shader devs or change the shader you use.
