RealScale & DH–Chunky Guard — Changelog

Date: October 27, 2026

1. RealScale — Seven-Mode Experimental Test Build

Changed

• Retained Natural Landscapes as the original natural terrain mode.
• Removed USGS Big Sur from both normal and extended world-creation menus.
• Exposed six fitted experimental presets: Alpine, Canyon, Glacial, Volcanic, Karst, and Dune.
• Added visible Experimental / 实验玩法 labels in English and Chinese.
• Preserved legacy USGS resources for existing-world compatibility.
• Kept the original Natural preset and noise-settings resources unchanged.

Validation

• Source-integrity and packaged-JAR menu checks passed.
• Real NeoForge world-generation smoke tests were cancelled in the latest run, so runtime validation remains incomplete.
• A previous comparison found no measurable Dune-versus-Natural height difference across 6,400 sampled columns. Dune remains unverified as a geographic fit.

Release Status

• Experimental test build, based on 2.0.0-preview.2-test.6.
• Not certified as a stable release.

2. DH–Chunky Guard — 0.3.1 Experimental

Improved

• Added an early return when Distant Horizons has already bound its native listener.
• Cached the opt-out JVM property instead of repeatedly reading it on the chunk-event hot path.
• Preserved targeted Chunky provider readiness handling and native listener verification.
• Kept the compatibility addon independent from the RealScale terrain mod.

Validation

• Standalone JAR build and packaging checks passed.
• Tested combination: Minecraft 1.21.1, Java 21, NeoForge 21.1.x, Distant Horizons 3.3.3, and Chunky 1.4.23.
• Client-rendered distant LOD and Iris/Sodium compatibility remain unverified.

Installation

• Install the main RealScale JAR for terrain generation.
• Install DH–Chunky Guard only when using the compatible Distant Horizons and Chunky combination.
• Back up existing worlds before testing experimental builds.
