Mac Mini M4 game crash upon loading world
I have severe problems with my game crashing with usage od DH. Crash occured upon loading world with dh active or just clicking to "True" in the setting to enable dh, just immediate crash and the Apple window was popping up with a java crash that was very long
First time it happened i pasted it into AI which told me to use dh 2.1.2 because its apparently the most stable and that embeddium was causing this because it was conflicting ith DH.
It was fixed at first but i began having those problems randomly again.
It was working fine and then just crashes again.
I wanted to make a post about it but i am unable to recreate the crash on purpose again, it just decided to work again but will break soon most probably so i want to know what to do.
I am sending a modlist i was using with crashes occuring, maybe one of those.
Also what are the best ways to use dh on mac, is it a special dh version? Do i not use the mentioned embeddium ( even tho i really need it for performance ). Whats the magic trick in using dh on macos with an m4. Please let me know.

IDK why AI likes DH 2.1.2 so much, but PLS update to latest stable release or latest nightly
Then if any issues persist, describe them
ai is useless for these things
If the error will be Inderect is not Supported by Iris or something like that, try toggling instances rendering, and if that won’t help:
- disable cloud rendering
- disable beacon rendering
- disable generic rendering
it will always give a pretty generic and useless answer to things like these because that's literally how it works
Mac has just really outdated OpenGL support, it is a miracle it still works
Best to get some hardware that support latest OpenGL that released back in 2017 with even older hardware then that still updating to support it
the crash when clicking the enable distant generation button is a known issue with forge 1.20.1
Okay yeah so update to newest version 100% dont use 2.1.2 or any other than 2.3.2
it really threw me off because when i actually downgraded to 2.1.2 version it worked flawlessly for a long period of time and then just started crashing again
Okay thanks for this info, is there anything that would make my life easier trying to use dh on a mac on this version
Also would love to get some information about that Embeddium & DH complications that were apparently a thing?
i don't recall there being any issues with embeddium and DH, if there was, it's probably not the case anymore
Okay because after uninstalling embeddium dh worked immediately
might be that macos opengl problem miki mentioned
And regarding ai, i used perplexity on the max possible setting to do research on the topic so i dunno definitely better than chatgpt
doesn't matter, it still works the same way, it takes thousands of data points and makes an average out of it, which makes it useless for troubleshooting
Okay right still wondering how is it that it can just go perfectly for like an hour
Oh and we were doing tests on like specific biomes replaces with tectonic, other stuff with terrablender
So i needed dh too, in order to see those biomes that were generating
That means many worlds, many game restarts to update the configs and it was working for like an hour and then just nope, crash every time
if you could test it with nothing but DH installed and then get the logs, someone could figure out what the issue is
But when of course i tried to do that it worked
oh so it works 100% fine (except for the distant generation button problem) with just dh?
what works 100% fine
and when adding embeddium it doesnt?
well i just tried again and still no crash
Um well first when it was crashing and ai told me about embeddium and i removed it, then it immediately worked again
after that i added embeddium again, changed to 2.1.2 and worked for 2 hours
rn
its working with these settings
and all the mods i mentioned embeddium terra, terrablender tectonic whatever
yeah but that's 2.1.2
also had instances where it would not crash
hold on
instances where it would not crash when i had on minimal impact on cpu load
i click to low impact and like immediate crash
right
on newest release rn
crash
got the big ahh log again
right what logs are needed for this
the game logs
which are, uh
YAGPDB
Yet Another General Purpose Discord Bot
uhh
what is that
fair
idk what that thing the bot posted is
do we mean those logs
or from the folder that the instance is in
latest.log do we mean that?
yeah, that one
lmao
OpenGL smiles upon you
wth is this 😂
yeah you can blame apple for this
@Ramelstag you need to put a space before the slash for the command to not auto botify itself
okay now im crashing on every version of dh
wow, uh
i really need a good explanation of this dang
it just chooses when it wants to work
it literally did 6 minutes ago, now none versions work
this is a rather short log
okay crashes without embeddium too
woah
it did just randomly load without embeddium on newest dh
if it crashes take another log
it just did after i changed settings
yeah, take that one
last line
changing preset to medium and nothing 😂
on the showcase here
did you use the distant generation button on that one?
right uh so the settings were default for newest dh as i loaded
i went into them
it was this
i changed to this
it froze 5 seconds
crash
it loaded me in with those settings i changed
get this one RU test (1)/crash-reports/crash-2025-04-23_20.30.57-server.txt
its in the saves>
seen
i enabled distant generation in the world and crashes
oh not game, only world
yeah that's the one that was already known
which is
and the error there is the same
which is not related to it being on macos
i mean, on your case it seems 10x worse
Should i have distant generation disabed
shouldn't be making a difference there
make an instance with just dh
yes but those last crashes were not because of rendering
i wanted to test those anyway
yes im in dh newest default options
hang on, make a fabric instance with just dh, and test there
what are we trying to accomplish atm
are we looking for a purposeful crash
you had crashes without touching any of the dh settings right?
yes that too
okay yeah, just remove all mods other than, and make it crash without touching any dh config
make it crash
uh idk i cant just really abracadabra crash
oh would you look at that i can
but not the game tho
there we go
you didn't touch any settings and it gave that error?
no i did
bunch
like random clicks
random clicks?
im a magician it seems
also i realized im here on a wrong account
but thats besides the point
that's the errors that happen on that issue with the settings buttons
Okay thats not really a problem tho i think
i jdont just randomly change settings
The issue is i cant load up a world with dh on
it just gives that window about java crash/error
im talking about the instance with those 18 mods, tectonic, terra..
and this log is from when you just tried to load the world, not touching any setting right?
this is bare dh
there is a log above where it was that java error on my screen too
well, could check that log ig
it's not
I will come back in a minute
with just dh i can only reproduce the null value error, and only happens with the distant generation button, all other work
also just in case try with the nightly build
Wow, hi im sorry
^
mixup sorry man i got lost and joined on this other account for no reason
i will leave on that first one, wow sorry
oh i hope it wont close the ticket
probably wont
okay yeah
no well it was this
in this instance
i get crashes as soon as i join a world with dh on
like 50/50 honestly
honestly what do we do rn
alright, i just loaded again with no crash with that instance of 18 mods on newest dh with changed settings
create a new instance with fabric, and just dh and nothing else, and when, or if it crashes upon a world load, get the logs for it
why do you want to see fabric
fabric to dodge the 1.20.1 forge issues
because personally i dont really
i wont use it anyway unless like
you want to do smth
yes i want to see if it will crash upon world loading there, and if it does the logs would be useful
with those 18 logs?
or bare dh
yes seen mb
just dh, nothing else
lol
i changed gui scale from auto to 1 and it crashed bahaha
oh im so done bro
im actually
whatever caused the error, it crashed the game before it could even write to the logs
nice
diabolical
do you have a mac
nope
okay right are we doing anything
i don't think so, my only guess is that dh needs a higher opengl conformance, which mac does not have
i will repeat myself 3rd time
ong it just chooses when it wants to crash
okay yeah anyway
thanks for the convo and stuff, and this is a goodbye unless by some miracle we will get back to this thread again, doubt though. Peace
They've already done that
oh, forgot
for my m2 mac removing embeddium fixes a crash on world load
problem is most likely the crap opengl then
bro it also worked at first but then it was also crashing without it, its literally roulette crash
