Swift Horizon Vistas Mod Wiki & Guide

The mod works automatically once installed—distant terrain rendering starts right away with default settings. You can adjust the view distance and other options in your mod settings menu to customize how far you can see.

Swift Horizon Vistas uses Level of Detail techniques to render distant terrain as lightweight geometry instead of loading full chunks. It samples your world seed on a grid to generate the distant landscape, which uses far less CPU and memory than normal chunk loading.

You can adjust the extra view distance up to around 292 chunks beyond your normal render distance, letting you see landscapes that span incredibly far. The default is set to 144 extra chunks, which you can increase or decrease based on your computer's performance.

Generation typically takes anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on your processor speed and how far you're rendering. Once generated, the distant terrain stays in memory and renders smoothly without constant recalculation.
