chunky+dh doesnt work like i thought it wwould

I thought it would just render everything around me without me having to wwalk there but its kinda NOT doing that and i thought by using xaeros map and those two that i would be able to see biomes around me but the map only unlocks wherever i go and so do the lods render.

Ah, you're here. Anyways, Distant Horizons + Chunky is a no-go. See the following:

Using Chunky to pregenerate for DH is not recommended for several reasons.

The first one is the swiss cheese that might show up when using chunky while DH is installed.
The second reason is that it's pointless, as DH has a build in pregenerator that is better integrated than chunky:

It saves space by only storing LODs, not normal chunks
It is faster to use DH's pregenerator to generate the LODs than first using chunky to generate the normal chunks, and then using DH to convert the normal chunks to LODs
It is part of DH, and therefore always/only called when DH needs it
Chunky calculates it's radius in blocks, confusing the user if they are not aware of this

Distant Horizons' built-in LOD pregenerator is enabled by default, and can be sped up or slowed down by changing the

Cpu Load

Cpu Load

in DH's settings, or disabled by turning off Distant Generation.
If you want to pregenerate both LODs and normal chunks, set the Distance Generator Mode to

Full

Full

under Advanced, World Generator. This will of course take up quite a lot more storage space. Make sure you have C2ME installed if you want to use Full, as the generation speed will be crap if you don't.

Note, this also applied to other similar pregeneration mods.

hardester•9/17/25, 9:32 AM

If you need chunks to be saved, change generation mode from "Features" to "Full - Saves Chunk".

hardester•9/17/25, 9:32 AM

See !generators

YAGPDB.xyz•9/17/25, 9:32 AM

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.

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:34 AM

i clicked how to use distant horizons on yt and FIRST video suggested chunky with it and said c2m was bad

hardester•9/17/25, 9:34 AM

Those videos are now outdated.

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:34 AM

bruh

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:34 AM

can u just tell me

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:34 AM

how to uh

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:34 AM

just have a wide ahh chunk thingy

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:34 AM

so xaeros map shows the entire around me area

hardester•9/17/25, 9:35 AM

C2ME issues has been resolved, whereas Chunky issue is caused by how Distant Horizons responds to its operation.

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:35 AM

so remove chunky?

hardester•9/17/25, 9:35 AM

Yes.

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:35 AM

ight

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:35 AM

and how to get chunks to load even when i havent been there?

TTheo and how to get chunks to load even when i havent been there?

Miki_P98•9/17/25, 9:45 AM

Make sure you have distant generation enable

Miki_P98•9/17/25, 9:45 AM

Then when on singleplayer they will just load with time

Miki_P98•9/17/25, 9:45 AM

When on server

Miki_P98•9/17/25, 9:46 AM

!server

YAGPDB.xyz•9/17/25, 9:46 AM

DH won't be able to generate LODs for chunks outside the vanilla render distance unless DH is installed on the server (DH 2.3.0+). Instead, as you travel around the world, LODs will be generated for areas you've visited.
If DH is installed on the server, it will work just like in singleplayer, gradually pregenerating chunks around the player. The server also has access to the

/dh pregen start <dimension> <origin> <chunkRadius>

/dh pregen start <dimension> <origin> <chunkRadius>

command, useful when you want to pregen without anyone online.

YAGPDB.xyz•9/17/25, 9:46 AM

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

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

Distant Generator

is really working or not:
1) Check CPU usage while in-game, using

Aggressive

Aggressive

settings of

CPU Load

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

DH settings > Advanced Options > Debug > Wireframe

, set

Enable Debug Wireframe Rendering

Enable Debug Wireframe Rendering

and

Show World Gen Queue

Show World Gen Queue

True

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)

MMiki_P98 Make sure you have distant generation enable

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:48 AM

it doesnt

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:48 AM

xaeros map stays the same

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:48 AM

i have it enabled

TheoOP•9/17/25, 9:48 AM

its whatever forget it

TTheo xaeros map stays the same

Miki_P98•9/17/25, 9:58 AM

I don't think Xaeros can read DH LoDs, thy would need to add special DH support

Miki_P98•9/17/25, 9:59 AM

You can try switching the generation mode to FULL, and deleate your current LODs to save both the LODs and vanilla Chunks

Miki_P98•9/17/25, 9:59 AM

But still IDK if Xaeros will be able to read it all

To see if the DH generation is running your can do the second part

TheoOP•9/17/25, 10:25 PM

bruh the dh is just not working the end city been like this for 5 minutes like exactly

TheoOP•9/17/25, 10:27 PM

the thing u said doesnt work i enabled both and it just doesnt show anything for progress or whatever @Miki_P98

Skillnoob_•9/17/25, 10:32 PM

your shaders fog is probably covering stuff up

TheoOP•9/17/25, 10:32 PM

it i not

TheoOP•9/17/25, 10:32 PM

TheoOP•9/17/25, 10:33 PM

the rest of the stuff only loads when i go there

TheoOP•9/17/25, 10:33 PM

its so bunz cuz im tryna use dh to find end city

TheoOP•9/17/25, 10:33 PM

u can tell from xaeros map

Miki_P98•9/18/25, 8:00 AM

We can’t tell from Xaeros map, as Xaeros does not read DH generated LODs

Miki_P98•9/18/25, 8:01 AM

Disable shaders and show SS of ungenerated terrain in the overworld, the boxes should be much more visible in that scenario

TheoOP•9/18/25, 3:54 PM

it just dont work

TheoOP•9/19/25, 2:43 PM

wwhy do i need to go somewhere in front of me for dh to render it

chunky+dh doesnt work like i thought it wwould
