Enable distant player rendering

Horizon Reach Render Mod includes an experimental feature to display other players standing far away across the horizon. Enable this on your server by running /vss farplayers enable in the console.

How it works

Once enabled, players will appear as distant figures when they stand beyond your normal render distance. This helps you spot teammates, other explorers, or activity happening in far-off areas without needing to travel there first.

Performance considerations

Rendering distant players uses additional client resources. If you experience performance issues, you can disable the feature with /vss farplayers disable. The feature is experimental, so behavior may vary depending on your client setup and Voxy configuration.

Combine with terrain viewing

This feature works best alongside the main distant terrain system—you'll see both the landscape and the players inhabiting it from far away.
