Move DH data to another PC
I switched PCs and I need to move the data to the new PC, I tried moving
.minecraft/Distant_Horizons_server_data/SERVER_NAME/MyWorld into the freshly made folder on the new PC. Sadly, the LODs are not being shown, and it tries to remake them. What have I done wrong?8 Replies
To where is it saving the new LOD data?
The old PC was saving to
MyWorld/ and the new PC generated an empty .sqlite file, after that, I copied the files from MyWorld/ to the new PCs MyWorld/
It is touching the file, as in, it went from 300mb to 302mb, so it's doing something (on the new PC)*Move everything somewhere else, so Distant_Horizons_server_data is completely empty, then join that server again, let it generate some LODs
Then you'll see where exactly DH expects data to be saved for that server and just copy the LOD file there and overwrite the one it just generated
Just did this, same result, copying it over did nothing 😅... I will try to remove everything and re-install MC later tonight!
I noticed the new
Mods/ folder was missing 2 mods, Chunky and Noisium, after adding those... all LODs appeared as if nothing happened...!chunky
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 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 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.
Yes, I know, however I don't actively use it. After dropping those missing mods in, everything worked fine... That's all I know
Would still recommend to remove Chunky
It just wastes space when present and not used, and you shouldn't use it
