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
- Install the file of your game version and loader (see Requirements). Voxy and Distant Horizons are optional.
- Keep the default settings: they are the best balance. Restore defaults puts them back.
- 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.
