Description

Living Horizon

Gives life to the distance. Players and mobs stay visible far past your render distance, through several rendering techniques. It supports far-terrain mods such as Voxy and Distant Horizons, and adds birds to bring the sky to life, so you can take in your Minecraft world at its best. Client-side, on any server.

You can now play with a lower simulation distance and still see a living world.

⚠️ This is a beta, so expect bugs.

It runs on Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge and Forge, on Minecraft 1.20 to 1.21.11 and 26.1 to 26.3. I mainly play on 1.21.11 with Voxy, and it works there. I haven’t tested every combination, so some may break.

Found a bug? Tell me how it runs on your setup!

Thanks to anyone who helps! 🙏

Getting started

  1. Install the file of your game version and loader (see Requirements). Voxy and Distant Horizons are optional.
  2. Keep the default settings: they are the best balance. Restore defaults puts them back.
  3. In single player, run Scan the chunks around in the settings (or /livinghorizon scan) to show the mobs around you at once.

The scan radius is in chunks (32 = 512 blocks); every other distance is in blocks.

Careful: Mobs drawn at most and Mob distance both on Unlimited can crash the game.

Good to know

  • Settings: Options screen, Mod Menu or /livinghorizon config.
  • The scan only works in single player. On a server, the optional data pack shares the mobs and makes player positions exact.
  • With the data pack, every player's position is public: tell your players.

Features

  • See other players far away.
  • See mobs far away.
  • Birds added to the sky.
  • Players who logged off stay where they left.
  • Play with a lower simulation distance, the distance stays alive.
  • Everything can be configured.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.20 to 1.21.11 and 26.1 to 26.3.
  • Fabric or Quilt (with Fabric API), NeoForge or Forge.
  • Voxy or Distant Horizons: optional. The mod also works without them, at any render distance.
  • Mod Menu: optional, on Fabric and Quilt.
