Distant Horizons — VulkanMod Extension

!alt text

An extension mod that makes Distant Horizons (Modrinth) work with VulkanMod. Renders LOD terrain through VulkanMod's Vulkan backend instead of OpenGL.

What works:

• LOD terrain rendering with correct colors
• Lightmap (day/night lighting, block light)
• Depth compositing (LODs render behind normal terrain)
• Water and glass transparency
• Ambient occlusion (SSAO)
• Distance and height fog (all falloff types and mixing modes)
• Noise/dithering on LODs
• Fade/clip distance transitions
• Earth curvature
• Cloud rendering with correct depth against LOD terrain

What doesn't work yet:

• Shader packs (VulkanMod doesn't support them)
• Wireframe debug mode

Requirements:

• Fabric
• MC 1.20.6 or 1.21.11
• VulkanMod must be installed. 0.6+ for 1.21.11 and 0.4.2 for 1.20.6
• Distant Horizons 2.4.0+ or 3.0.0+ must be installed

This is not a standalone mod. Both Distant Horizons and VulkanMod are required. This is not the official Distant Horizons mod. For the original, see the links above.
