Frequently asked questions

How do I enable Farsight after installing it?
Farsight Mod is enabled by default once installed. Open your mod settings or config file to adjust the maximum render distance if needed—the mod will start caching chunks automatically as you explore.
Why can't I see chunks the server hasn't loaded yet?
Farsight can only display chunks that the server has already sent to your client. If you haven't visited an area yet, the server won't provide that chunk data, so the mod can't show it—you need to travel there first or wait for the server to load it.
Will chunks stay visible after the server unloads them?
Yes, that's the main feature—once Farsight caches a chunk on your client, it remains visible even after the server unloads it. This is a client-side copy, so changes made by other players won't update until you revisit the area.
