Seeing Unexplored Terrain Using Pre-Loaded Map Files

Displaying Unvisited Chunks

Under normal circumstances, you only see terrain that your character has physically visited and generated. Distant Horizons Backport includes a pre-loaded chunks feature, which allows you to load existing map files so you can preview unexplored regions far into the distance.

Pre-Loading Your Map Data

1. Make sure you have the map files containing the world terrain data you want to display.

2. Ensure the map files are placed in your world save directory so the mod can read the pre-generated terrain.

3. Load your world and enter the game.

4. Look out toward areas you have never personally walked into. Instead of fading into an empty void or fog, the distant horizon will display the pre-loaded landscape in the background.

5. Use this extended visibility to plan travel routes, locate distant mountains, or scout biomes before making long journeys across the map.
