LOD doesn't work -- dark edges but not dark chunks

Basically the mod doesn't work? So when it's enabled the edges are dark. But I've played with this mod and have had the dark chunks bug and it's not that, it simply doesn't load beyond the normal render distance, but it does add a weird border. The first one is when the mod is enabled, the other is when it's disabled. Is embeddium by any chance incompatible here?

Mod list included.
