Voxy Mod FAQ

Voxy works through its own render distance setting rather than vanilla's, so you need to enable Voxy in its config and then raise the Voxy render distance slider above your normal Minecraft render distance. If you only increase the vanilla render distance, you won't get the long-distance LoD terrain.

Voxy only builds LoD data for chunks you have actually loaded and explored, so areas you've never visited won't appear no matter how high you set the distance. Walk or fly through the region once with Voxy enabled so it can generate the lower-detail versions.

Yes, but only with shaders that are specifically written to support Voxy's LoD terrain. Standard shaderpacks will usually ignore or break the far view, so check that your pack lists Voxy compatibility before expecting it to work.

Voxy uses Level of Detail, meaning distant chunks are drawn with simpler geometry and textures instead of full blocks. This lets you see much farther than vanilla allows while keeping the performance cost low.

Voxy is constantly generating and updating LoD data as you explore, which can cause hitches on slower systems or with very high distance settings. Lowering the Voxy render distance and letting the world finish generating before moving on usually smooths it out.

Voxy is a client-side rendering mod, so it runs on your own game and doesn't need to be installed on the server. It renders whatever chunks your client receives, so your visible distance is still limited by the server's view distance.

That's the LoD system working as intended — distant terrain uses simplified models to save performance. As you get closer, Voxy swaps in the full-detail chunks, so the blocky look should resolve once you're nearby.

Yes, Voxy builds its LoD data while the mod is active, so chunks explored without it won't have far-view data. Keep it enabled during exploration if you want those areas to show up at long distance afterward.

Voxy generally coexists with performance mods, but other mods that also change chunk rendering or add their own LoD systems can conflict with it. If you see visual glitches or missing terrain, test with only Voxy and your shaderpack enabled.

Voxy can only build LoD data from chunks it loads, so previously explored areas need to be loaded again with Voxy active. Revisit those regions or let the game reload them, and Voxy will generate the far-view data as it goes.
