What happens to distant generated chunks if the Minecraft version is changed?
Question for future planning in my server. If I were to set the distant generation to 256 for example, then Minecraft updates and changes the world generation (adds new structures/biomes/etc), would those LOD-only generated chunks get the new worldgen features? Or would they be “locked in” to whatever worldgen version the LODs were generated at?

If only the LODs have been generated without the vanilla chunks being saved, when you finally visit those chunks on newer MC version they will have the new worldgen with new structures and stuff
But the existing LODs won’t update to reflect what is really there, you would need to regenerate them to get the new worldgen showing up in the LODs
If the LODs where generated alongside vanilla chunks that were saved, well… the chunks will already exist with the old worldgen and will stay that way unless you delete them with some other program/mod...

- 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.
