LOD Server Support

Changed

• Far-player hide permission — lss.farplayers.hidden no longer hides a player by itself, so admins with every permission (*) show up as far players again. To hide every holder as before, set far_players.hide_permission_holders: true on the server.
• /lss clearcache — While connected to a server it now only clears that server's download records, and says so when nothing is being received.

New Features

• Re-download Terrain button — On the mod's page in Sodium's video settings (Sodium 0.8 or newer); it does the same as /lss clearcache.
• Required position sharing — New server mode far_players.mode: required: every player is shown as a far player, only holders of lss.farplayers.hidden can opt out, and players whose choice is overridden are told in chat.

Bug Fixes

• Black distant terrain — Terrain from chunks saved without lighting (for example after a world upgrade) is no longer black. If terrain you already downloaded is black, use Re-download Terrain once.
• Distant Horizons servers — Tree crowns no longer show black faces; that terrain downloads once again.
• Unreadable chunks — Servers no longer send or store blank terrain for chunks they can't read.
• Escape key — Pressing Escape on the mod's status screen no longer closes Sodium's settings and drops unsaved changes.

Support

• Platforms — Fabric, Paper/Purpur/Folia (experimental), NeoForge and Sponge (experimental) for Minecraft 26.3.
• Downgrading — A server settings file that uses the new far-player settings doesn't load on 0.20 or older; remove those lines first.
