WorldFarView

Inspired by FarPlane2, this mod enhances render distance using Quad trees.

Installation & Usage

1. Install the mod on both client and server.
2. Join a world - the mod activates automatically.
   • Note: High resolutions may require longer loading times.
3. Currently supports only noise-based chunk generators (vanilla-compatible).
   • The mod will notify you if any compatibility issues arise.

⚠️ Development Notice: This mod is still in active development and may have stability issues.

⚙️ Configuration

Client Settings (Editable in-game via Mods menu)

Setting	Description	Recommended Value
Quad Tree Radius	Horizontal radius covered by the quad tree	65536 blocks, big values may lead to high memory usage
Quad tree max depth	Maximum adaptive quad tree depth	Depends on tree radius and resolution
Fade distance	Distance used to fade in terrain beyond the vanilla render distance	Your render distance

⚠️ If the server rejects client settings (e.g., unsupported resolution), the mod will auto-disable.

Server Settings (Can be found in world/server files)

Setting	Description
clientSide	If true, sends seed/generator data to clients (unsupported in current version). If false, forces server-side generation.
maxRadius	Reject quad tree requests above this radius
maxDepth	Reject quad tree requests above this depth

Last update removed quad tree generation on server for memory optimizations. Instead, server sends only heights in desired points.

🛠️ For Developers: Adding Compatibility

To integrate your custom world generator:

1. Implement FarChunkGenerator and register it in FarChunkGenerators.
2. For client-side support, create:
   • ClientFarChunkGenerator
   • SerializableFarChunkGenerator<YourClientFarChunkGenerator>
