Troubleshoot Lag or Visual Glitches

Common Issues and Solutions

Chunks Not Loading at World Edge

If you notice chunks disappearing at the edge of your view, this is the mod working as intended—it's the boundary of the sphere. Increase your render distance if you want to see further.

Stuttering or Frame Drops

The mod itself is lightweight, but if you experience lag:

1. Check that your render distance isn't too high for your system

2. Verify Sodium is updated if you're using it

3. Try lowering other graphics settings (chunks, particles, entity distance)

Visual Seams or Holes

These are rare but can happen with certain configurations. Restart your game or adjust render distance by one chunk to refresh the loading pattern.

When Performance Doesn't Improve

If you see no benefit, your bottleneck may not be chunk loading. Check if your issue is CPU-bound (use F3) or caused by other mods. The mod helps most when render distance is high or your computer is older.
