Reload the plugin configuration without restarting
When to reload
After editing the Distant Horizons Plugin configuration file, you need to reload it for changes to take effect. This avoids a full server restart.
How to reload
1. Edit your configuration file with your desired settings (usually located in your server's plugin folder).
2. Run the reload command:
`
/dhs reload
`
3. Confirm the reload: Check your server console for a confirmation message. The plugin will re-read all settings.
What reloads
- LOD synchronization settings
- Performance optimization parameters
- Compatibility options with Distant Horizons mod
What doesn't reload
- Already-generated LOD data (pre-existing chunks remain unchanged)
- Connected players' LOD caches (they may need to rejoin for full effect)
If players report issues after reload, have them rejoin the server to refresh their client-side LOD data.
