Hey, Hey you! This is important!
The version support numbers are strict!
If a version says it supports MC 1.18.1 it will NOT work on 1.18.2!
And: the mod is still in alpha. Things may change, break, crash or otherwise go wrong. You have been warned!
Although if you have problems feel free to leave an issue on the project's GitLab.
FAQ:
Q: Forge or Fabric? A: MC 1.20.6 and newer - NeoForge and Fabric are both in the same jar. MC 1.20.4 and older - Forge and Fabric are both in the same jar.&nbsp; Q: Shaders? A: Yes, but only with certain shaders.&nbsp; - Optifine: DH partially works with forward rendered shaders. - Iris (and equivalent ports): DH 2.1.0+ only works with Iris 1.7+ and only with shaders built with DH support in mind.&nbsp; &nbsp; - DH 2.0 and older don't work with Iris.
Q: Does this work with player created structures? A: Yes.
Q: Is there multiplayer support? A: Yes, and LOD chunks will save between sessions. However, currently the mod is only client side so you have to explore chunks for Distant Horizons to save them.
