LODs only load after exploring the chunks

I think I made a configuration error, cause now only when I explore do LODs get generated. They do stay after that but then there'S holes where I haven't explored. Help would be appreciated!

You most likely changed the generation mode from "features" to "pre existing only" in DH's advanced settings

Alternatively !slowgen

World generation in general is quite slow and world gen mods can slow it down even more. If you want to speed it up: Install Noisium, Lithium and C2ME. These mods can improve generation speed by a bit, but it will still not be fast. Increase CPU Load in Distant Horizons settings for faster generation, but you will experience more lag spikes and stuttering due to heavier workload on CPU. You are not required to wait for the full generation to finish, although it is better for fps if you do.
To see if Distant Generator is really working or not: 1) Check CPU usage while in-game, using Aggressive settings of CPU Load. If CPU usage's hovering around 80-100%, the LoDs are generating in the background. 2) Go to DH settings > Advanced Options > Debug > Wireframe, set Enable Debug Wireframe Rendering and Show World Gen Queue to True. Enabling both settings will show you the visualization of world gen tasks queued and working on the map (blue boxes for queued tasks, red boxes for working tasks)

you can reset to default settings by deleting the config file at .minecraft/config/distanthorizons.toml

I don't have this modpack for too long so I didn't actually mess with DH settings

I did just do that, but it says it takes 4h and after the blue boxes disappear, it still doesn't render also, does distant generation create real chunks or still just lods? And I have noisium installed

Depends on the mode !generators

- FEATURES: Complete generation of all LODs with mostly correct structures and trees. Does not save vanilla chunks, and is much faster than FULL unless C2ME is installed. - FULL: Generates and saves both DH LODs and vanilla chunks, has 100% correct LODs, because it also saves vanilla chunks it takes the most amount of drive space. Generation speed will suck unless C2ME is installed. - PRE-EXISTING: Generates LODs for all existing vanilla chunks.

Generating chunks does take a while
