The clouds are so beautiful. Imagine if someone made a weather mod where you can see upcoming storms or gameplay affecting weather like droughts or low pressure areas.
Vintage history be like. this weird game has this mechanic, and i love it(the mechanic, not the game). Though there are mods like "Weather, Storms & Tornadoes.". Edit: corrected missinformation about the mod name.
Bliss Shaders has a three layer cloud system much closer to real life compared to other shaders with one layer. Bliss and DH (Distant Horizons) works as a combo because the featured upgrade is the expansive landscape so pairing DH with a shader that focuses on clouds, fog and atmosphere rather than close up block shading makes sense.
I just installed Better Adventures+ on CurseForge started myself a 1year server and got in. My first game where I explored the world for 6 hours on the first day. Amazing.
I don't have mountain range, giant adventure spires and sprawling forests within reasonable travel distance of me. Nor do I have access to building materials, elytra or horses.@@Wombat_Cat
You should give Distant Horizons a shot anyway. Even without shaders the expanded render distance is amazing. Also, you can set your actual view distance down to like 6 and still have a nice view. @@LsAdventurer
what makes this a lot better is the cloud shadows casting on the ground. you usually pass over that setting, but now that more terrain is visible on the horizon, it makes a BIG difference in depth
The thing about this is like you pointed out with other terrain gens, they are catered for smaller render distances and smaller worlds. Tectonic works here because it has the size feeling of a planet. A real WORLD, with thousands of miles of expansive plains and mountains. The scale is there, because it actually takes forever to get from one side of that valley to the other. Truly incredible stuff, this is the kind of thing that would get me to play Minecraft again (as someone who's burnt out after thousands of hours)
Also if you do want to play a game that looks like this, now, the Talos Principle 2 has views like this constantly throughout the game. It's not a completely open world, obviously, so this is still better there, but it is a really beautiful and fun puzzle game.
You're right. this probably the best minecraft visual mod i've ever seen. The landscape actually looks natural and realistic now, you can actually see grand vistas from the top of mountains and geographical features morph into one another...there's a sense of scale and grandeur to the world, and i think that's something that was missing in minecraft previously. If anything this will enable some truly incredible maps to be created. Personally i would love to see this combined with a fantasy RPG mod of some kind to create basically the ultimate adventure experience in minecraft.
The comment about large structures hit me: this is probably why those have always bugged me in minecraft. If they're visible, they take too much space. But on this kind of scale, you can have truly massive structures that feel like they fit right in with the landscape. I really like this.
To be honest, I go back to minecraft videos every now and then for nostalgic reasons. I'm still in the 2012-13 days with Minecraft 1.1/1.2, so seeing it now is like 🤯🤯insane. It's gone a long way.
I played with an earlier version of this mod (which was kinda broken with all shaders). However, it was still amazing to be able to see for literally kilometers. It really gives a sense of scale that Minecraft has always lacked. I want to be able to see a distant mountain and know that It will take a couple days to travel to it, let alone climb it.
Ironic since when I started playing my potato laptop could only handle the beta version of the game with tiny render distance lol... so quite the opposite and still you are right
This looks so amazing and immersive, this is what minecraft needs. Imagine exploring in your world and you actually see something interesting or biome that you didn't explore yet from really far away. This takes minecraft exploring to a new level in my opinion.
@@GuyllianVanRixtelNot exactly the best example lol, optifine isn't a part of vanilla minecraft. Mojang has no reason to account for it, they need to optimize the vanilla game.
Since I found out about DH, I can't play without it. Even 64-chunk render distance with mods feels too small to me - if I don't see foggy mountains in the horizon, things feel wrong. Thank you for showing this off! I am using DH with shaders, but the fake chunks were always low-detail. I didn't know there were fully compatible shaders for it
@Andrew-le2un for real? I'm just using DH and Iris normally with a Complementary Reimagined fork for Distant Horizons, and it looks just fine, not as good as the video though
@@AlNexus Because it isn't actually compatible, the Reimagined fork just fades off the chunks near the vanilla render limit to mix better with DH's LODs. These experimental versions actually integrate the shaders on the LODs, meaning that they cast shadows and have reflections.
i remember seeing those pre rendered minecraft videos/music videos and thinking it would be amazing if we could play and have the game look like that.. over 10 years later and the game can look even better
The crazy thing about this is that I just started testing out distant horizons afew days ago and remembered that my game kept crashing because I had other mods and it was outdated, now when they finish it it’ll be the icing on the cake
The mob votes are there not because Mojang is lazy, it is to gain attention. And I think we can both agree it gets lots of attention, be it good or bad.
@@TahaMedyaTV This is false because what DH did is create cheap low poly fake chunks and cache them to render as a skybox, as long as your computer isn't actually potato tier you should be able to run it

They are just lazy as hell, there are missing features in minecraft that every single modern game has, one example being the mod in the video.
from my perspective, mojang isn't really lazy. because we know that mojang is owned by microsoft, a huge corporation and not just a small team any more. so when they wanted to add or remove something, they needed to ask the manager and other people first, just like in many other companies. and that slows down the development process so much. and that also explains why the April Fools update has so many features, that's because it didn't needed to be approved by the managers so the process is very fast.
2:46 This is this scene. The setting will vary greatly depending on the genre of the game, but there's something about the excitement of these distant places that makes us want to explore.
You should do a follow-up to the Real Life Simulator video. Considering we have stuff like Patrix and incredible performance mods, you could make something unbelievable.
If you had shown this to me over ten years ago when I played Minecraft for the very first time, I'd have a hard time believing that it's even the same game. The amount of effort modders have put into making this game look this good is insane.
The mods you’re talking about go great with Continents, which changes the ocean/land balance, and deeper oceans, which makes the deep oceans 3x deeper. Sometimes it’s just a few layers of deepslate with sand on top between the water and the bedrock
Tectonic/terratonic doesn’t play nice with Continents (have experimented myself ^^;), but terra or terralith both work really well! The issue comes from a difference in expected ocean heights, leading to weird gen. Someone might be able to fix that!
Pairing those kind of mods with things that raise and lower the build limit while also having distant horizons. That would be amazing to see. Being in an open valley looking at a mountain in the far off land that is THOUSANDS of blocks tall with shaders. Things like this make me excited to see what the future of Minecraft will be. What will be possible when you run it on a supercomputer with mods like I just listed and ones that haven’t came out yet that will make it look beautiful
God, I'm really jealous of you, your patience in particular. Distant Horizons takes so damn long to render LODs that I've given up trying to get it work at all!
Check out the mods Noisium (speeds up chunk generation) and Chunky! Together, you can pre-load an area in a few minutes, and you can leave it going in the background/when minecraft is paused. DH will recognise these chunks and load them in
@@123happily Oh man! Does Noisium speed up the LOD generation at all? That was the problem I had the most, I used a fabric chunk pregenerator of sorts that I think was supposed to pre gen chunks for DH to render afterwards but maybe that didn't actually work? I'll give it a shot though, thanks a million!
@@haiperbus I actually discovered that DH will actually render chunks you haven't explored, but still, the building of the LODs takes AGES. It's so slow it makes the mod impractical to use unless you want to let the thing render overnight!
@@PiotrBarczThis would actually be worth it to me on my main world. Having that sense of scale and feeling like I am actually inside my Minecraft world, I have the feeling of seeing Minecraft properly for the first time here! I would happily leave my computer on for 2 nights if it means that I then can experience it like this!
I've been messing around with these mods for a few weeks now, and it has completely reignited my passion for minecraft. It's like a whole new game being able to see at such distances.
Nope no help, they like being stingy when they get stuff working. I'm trying to find out if tectonic even works for 1.20, it doesn't seem to want to install to a version newer than 1.18@@TheRedgamer01
dude im not even joking this is the first time i felt something that i cant explain looking at Minecraft clip, the vastness of land show all kind of possibilities that you can do, it is truly beautiful, just imagine playing the game where your main objective is just to survive and explore, see all of the animals, building and beautiful landscape. and yeah no zombie and all that, judt pure world for you to explore
It sent shivers down my spine. Holy Shit. Minecraft is now ACTUALLY looking like an infinite world. Games like flight simulators show us vast infinite spaces, Minecraft will never be the same without it. I don't think that the community can unsee this mod combo.
Can you imagine if you paired this with the mods that make the build limit higher and and mods that make terrain different. It would be crazy being in a wide open valley and seeing a 2 thousand block tall mountain that’s far off into the distance
As a person who had been to the mountains vouple of times - these mods make the game look incredibly awesome. Just the image of standing on the mountain and seeing the landscape below you makes you feel mighty and free.
I wonder how this would look like with large biomes... Just imagine travelling through a big open plain field and stumbling upon a monumental mountain range.... I can only imagine how breathtaking this view would be.
I'd like to bring to your attention a new mod in the LoD scene called Voxy, it's being made by the creator of nvidium and is still in the verrry early stages but already shows extreme promise like a 4096 chunk render distance without many issues and already partial shader support
And tons of people will still shill and make excuses for them and say stuff like “oh it’s hard to do this stuff” even though mojang/microsoft has tons of employees and unlimited money while modders are usually one dude or a small team that are broke af
Well, with tons of employees and unlimited money comes tons of corporate level bureaucracy and managing. Take a look at the april fools update, where developers have a free hand and can do what they want with the game
I saw someone combine this with shaders and a film camera mod and it downright made me cry. This straight up entirely changes Minecraft from the inkling of a fantasy world, to a straight up "Make Middle Earth in your electronic box" with mountains in the distance it'd take several in-game days to get to, rolling hills, sweeping plains and sprawling deserts. I can't even begin to fathom a fantasy-dedicated survival server in this style where everyone tries their best to stick to a "natural" medieval style.. you want wood, you make roads and lumber camps and clearcuts. You want stone, you start digging out a quarry. And best of all, these things which otherwise would've felt huge.. will be tiny, and in scale, for once, while still providing all the materials you need. Imagine looking down from a mountain peak across a valley and seeing player-built villages, connected with networks of dirt paths. What the shit, man. This isn't what Minecraft felt to me as a kid. This is better. I've never felt that before.
0:10 This is Heaven... A game that can bring you nostalgia of your first world's, a game for having fun, making friends, a game in which you can build, explore and do everything you want, this is the game that has a touch of a paradise, it's perfect and remember, Minecraft is forever going to be the greatest game of all time...
The music, the shaders, the world... everything is beautiful. I just wanna play Minecraft like this ALWAYS. If i had a good pc that is. İ kinda wanna see a SMP that has these mods, shader pack, etc. and some "still-minecrafty" mods to make it even cooler.
Damn! if you'd told me this was minecraft 5 years ago, i'd think you were insane. No shit, this probably the best minecraft visual mod i've ever seen. The landscape actually looks natural and realistic now, you can actually see grand vistas from the top of mountains and geographical features morph into one another...there's a sense of scale and grandeur to the world, and i think that's something that was missing in minecraft previously.

Hey man, I've been watching your channel for a while, and I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the cool ideas you've given me so far! Thanks to you, my Minecraft experience has vastly improved, as I installed new QoL, graphics mods, and the like, and you've become my go-to channel to learn about new possibilities in one domain, or kinda like a "review" for a mod (if you've included it in one of your videos). One of the areas I've been exploring lately is mods giving the passage of time more meaning in Minecraft. I recently installed Serene Seasons, which I love (don't know if you've covered it), and I am looking for a mod to show "erosion" from the player living in a place for a while. The oxidation of copper gave me that idea, and the most simple yet really significant change would be a mod that automatically and progressively turns grass into paths, when a player takes the same route for a number of times. You'd have paths forming in the center of your city, and probably also ones radiating outwards in the forests around, on the routes you take most often, probably the ones where you've already trimmed the leaves as not to hit your head against them every time. Sadly enough, I haven't been able to find that exact mod yet, there's one that gets near that idea, lebonq's "Automatic Path", but it doesn't seem to be maintained anymore, and also it adds blocks which I don't really like. Anyways, that and probably some other changes as well, like water eroding the landscape maybe, etc. Anyways, maybe you have ideas for mods that you haven't seen implemented yet? I'd be really interested to see a video on that (though it might be hard to illustrate).
A note for those who see this. You can use both mod versions of Terralith and Tectonic together with great effect. From what I've experienced, Terralith basically just provides Tectonic with its 90+ bioms. So you not only get large, grandiose world generation, but you get more variety in terms of what bioms show up. I highly recommend it.
Imagine if they made a mod that created realistic waterways, with rivers that flowed downhill, deltas that meandered into the ocean, high altitude freshwater lakes in places that make sense, etc. Would be absolutely stunning.
Massive RPG map-mods would work great with this. Just imagine, walking down a seemingly never ending road with mountains in view, but never getting any closer.
I am just imagining being the first to explore a massive RPG (man-made) map, maybe even on a multiplayer server. And seeing something that only the builders have ever seen... Building anything in Minecraft takes effort and grace, and exploring to find these builds just fascinates me regardless of whatever story this RPG would be.
Welcome to another episode of "modder adds extremely technically impressive and game chanting feature that mojang should have added years ago but simply didnt"
This mod is very incredible when paired with the physics mod as it makes the trees and ocean a sight to behold. I can't wait for this and create aeronautics to be released so I can fly an airship around the world and see these views.
LOD has been utilized for so many years and on so many games, and now I hope I can get to see this implemented into one of the most historic games of all time!
Distance horizon, iris and Teutonic lit up that dim light i had when playing Minecraft playing with those 3 mods just made me play Minecraft more and more
Imagine Lord of the Rings themed builds in this mod. In the distant lands you see the eye of Sauron peering at you or on a far away lands, an elvish city of Rivendell in all its glory.
I have a 3060 XC so I'm pretty sure my card would have a heart attack running vanilla Minecraft. With this, my shit would be introduced to every level of hell in Dante's inferno.
If you want to use DH and Iris shaders together, please *_wait until the next stable release of both mods._*

That was the problem I had the most, I used a fabric chunk pregenerator of sorts that I think was supposed to pre gen chunks for DH to render afterwards but maybe that didn't actually work? I'll give it a shot though, thanks a million!
@@PiotrBarcz the fastest way to gen the LOD is to just go there and render it yourself normally then leave
@@haiperbus I actually discovered that DH will actually render chunks you haven't explored, but still, the building of the LODs takes AGES. It's so slow it makes the mod impractical to use unless you want to let the thing render overnight!
@@PiotrBarczThis would actually be worth it to me on my main world. Having that sense of scale and feeling like I am actually inside my Minecraft world, I have the feeling of seeing Minecraft properly for the first time here! I would happily leave my computer on for 2 nights if it means that I then can experience it like this!
I've been messing around with these mods for a few weeks now, and it has completely reignited my passion for minecraft. It's like a whole new game being able to see at such distances.
i try to get it look like in this video, but i dont know which exact version of the mods i need, can you help?
Nope no help, they like being stingy when they get stuff working. I'm trying to find out if tectonic even works for 1.20, it doesn't seem to want to install to a version newer than 1.18@@TheRedgamer01
@@TheRedgamer01 You need both the latest development version of Iris, and Bliss shaders.
dude im not even joking this is the first time i felt something that i cant explain looking at Minecraft clip, the vastness of land show all kind of possibilities that you can do, it is truly beautiful, just imagine playing the game where your main objective is just to survive and explore, see all of the animals, building and beautiful landscape. and yeah no zombie and all that, judt pure world for you to explore
It sent shivers down my spine. Holy Shit. Minecraft is now ACTUALLY looking like an infinite world. Games like flight simulators show us vast infinite spaces, Minecraft will never be the same without it. I don't think that the community can unsee this mod combo.
you people eat everything up
@@warmtoiletseat7362 what
Can you imagine if you paired this with the mods that make the build limit higher and and mods that make terrain different. It would be crazy being in a wide open valley and seeing a 2 thousand block tall mountain that’s far off into the distance
Wow, that really does look crazy good. That's awesome how it maintains the blockiness while taking on that realistic look.
As a person who had been to the mountains vouple of times - these mods make the game look incredibly awesome. Just the image of standing on the mountain and seeing the landscape below you makes you feel mighty and free.
I wonder how this would look like with large biomes... Just imagine travelling through a big open plain field and stumbling upon a monumental mountain range.... I can only imagine how breathtaking this view would be.
This is giving minecraft a new meaning and a new purpose to play
I tried it, and it's a miracle that you got it working as well as you did.
wake up, the eyeball has uploaded
I'd like to bring to your attention a new mod in the LoD scene called Voxy, it's being made by the creator of nvidium and is still in the verrry early stages but already shows extreme promise like a 4096 chunk render distance without many issues and already partial shader support
Do you think, that an office laptop with integrated videocard could handle it?
voxy my beloved

Mojang: Uhh here's an auto crafting table and a mob that does nothing but drop one item
Mod developers:
it's beyond ridiculous how insanely long mojang takes for small ass updates like this.
And tons of people will still shill and make excuses for them and say stuff like “oh it’s hard to do this stuff” even though mojang/microsoft has tons of employees and unlimited money while modders are usually one dude or a small team that are broke af
Well, with tons of employees and unlimited money comes tons of corporate level bureaucracy and managing. Take a look at the april fools update, where developers have a free hand and can do what they want with the game
I saw someone combine this with shaders and a film camera mod and it downright made me cry. This straight up entirely changes Minecraft from the inkling of a fantasy world, to a straight up "Make Middle Earth in your electronic box" with mountains in the distance it'd take several in-game days to get to, rolling hills, sweeping plains and sprawling deserts. I can't even begin to fathom a fantasy-dedicated survival server in this style where everyone tries their best to stick to a "natural" medieval style.. you want wood, you make roads and lumber camps and clearcuts. You want stone, you start digging out a quarry. And best of all, these things which otherwise would've felt huge.. will be tiny, and in scale, for once, while still providing all the materials you need. Imagine looking down from a mountain peak across a valley and seeing player-built villages, connected with networks of dirt paths. What the shit, man.
This isn't what Minecraft felt to me as a kid. This is better. I've never felt that before.
0:10 This is Heaven...
A game that can bring you nostalgia of

game for having fun, making friends,
a game in which you
can build, explore and do everything you want,
this is the game that has a touch of a
paradise, it's perfect
and remember, Minecraft is forever going to be the greatest game
of all time...
Heaven is far better

More videos about this, please!!! Would also love a let's play series with these mods and shaders that you like!
The music, the shaders, the world... everything is beautiful.
I just wanna play Minecraft like this ALWAYS. If i had a good pc that is.
İ kinda wanna see a SMP that has these mods, shader pack, etc. and some "still-minecrafty" mods to make it even cooler.

Time to store this video in my Minecraft dreams that will never come true!
I believe that combining this with Ice and Fire and bunch of other modpacks will make ultimate modpack, This is just really amazing piece of work.

i wouldn't even dare to dream of a minecraft sequel looking this good.
can't wait to try this. some day

Are we just gonna ignore that beautiful gallop animation the vanilla horse has at 1:33?? LIKE, what mod is that? 😭
I need the Mod too pls
i think its called Fresh Animations, it needs optifine to work!
doesnt need optifine, but it is a resource pack
Damn! if you'd told me this was minecraft 5 years ago, i'd think you were insane.
No shit, this probably the best minecraft visual mod i've ever seen. The landscape actually looks natural and realistic now, you can actually see grand vistas from the top of mountains and geographical features morph into one another...there's a sense of scale and grandeur to the world, and i think that's something that was missing in minecraft previously.
If anything this will enable some truly incredible maps to be created. Personally i would love to see this combined with a fantasy RPG mod of some kind to create basically the ultimate adventure experience in minecraft.

i recently started using bliss shaders on my friend's modpack and boy, its amazing, the volumetric details like in nether or the end sky are stuning
Hey man, I've been watching your channel for a while, and I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the cool ideas you've given me so far! Thanks to you, my Minecraft experience has vastly improved, as I installed new QoL, graphics mods, and the like, and you've become my go-to channel to learn about new possibilities in one domain, or kinda like a "review" for a mod (if you've included it in one of your videos).
One of the areas I've been exploring lately is mods giving the passage of time more meaning in Minecraft. I recently installed Serene Seasons, which I love (don't know if you've covered it), and I am looking for a mod to show "erosion" from the player living in a place for a while. The oxidation of copper gave me that idea, and the most simple yet really significant change would be a mod that automatically and progressively turns grass into paths, when a player takes the same route for a number of times. You'd have paths forming in the center of your city, and probably also ones radiating outwards in the forests around, on the routes you take most often, probably the ones where you've already trimmed the leaves as not to hit your head against them every time. Sadly enough, I haven't been able to find that exact mod yet, there's one that gets near that idea, lebonq's "Automatic Path", but it doesn't seem to be maintained anymore, and also it adds blocks which I don't really like. Anyways, that and probably some other changes as well, like water eroding the landscape maybe, etc.
Anyways, maybe you have ideas for mods that you haven't seen implemented yet? I'd be really interested to see a video on that (though it might be hard to illustrate).
It looks good, but I can't imagine using this as my main survival world because it's just too much walking.
I mean distant horizons by itself doesn't change any terrain generation and it's mainly what makes the game look good
@@jgb7480Sorry, I meant with the tectonic mod
0:01 did anyone see the clowns?
Ys just saw it
A note for those who see this.
You can use both mod versions of Terralith and Tectonic together with great effect.
From what I've experienced, Terralith basically just provides Tectonic with its 90+ bioms. So you not only get large, grandiose world generation, but you get more variety in terms of what bioms show up.
I highly recommend it.
Oh yeah baby, new era of minecraft incoming

That beautiful view of the surroundings with calming music playing in the background does makes it feel chill and relaxing... so amazing!
Imagine if they made a mod that created realistic waterways, with rivers that flowed downhill, deltas that meandered into the ocean, high altitude freshwater lakes in places that make sense, etc. Would be absolutely stunning.
the first 20 seconds look MAJESTIC

It is truly bananas that that is Minecraft. And even more so that it's all done by the modding community. Genuinely bananas.
1:10 That kind of render distance, with shaders, at a high resolution, while getting 130 FPS feels like a massive insult to the plebians.
This mod combination literally makes it look like a lord of the rings movie and the music added to that even further.
Shout out to Xonk for the incredible Bliss Shaders!
Massive RPG map-mods would work great with this. Just imagine, walking down a seemingly never ending road with mountains in view, but never getting any closer.
I am just imagining being the first to explore a massive RPG (man-made) map, maybe even on a multiplayer server. And seeing something that only the builders have ever seen... Building anything in Minecraft takes effort and grace, and exploring to find these builds just fascinates me regardless of whatever story this RPG would be.
its beautiful, I never thought id ever see minecraft like this it almost makes me cry.
Welcome to another episode of "modder adds extremely technically impressive and game chanting feature that mojang should have added years ago but simply didnt"
This mod is very incredible when paired with the physics mod as it makes the trees and ocean a sight to behold. I can't wait for this and create aeronautics to be released so I can fly an airship around the world and see these views.
LOD has been utilized for so many years and on so many games, and now I hope I can get to see this implemented into one of the most historic games of all time!
0:17 this one of the best and most beautiful shots in gaming history, change my mind…
Distance horizon, iris and Teutonic lit up that dim light i had when playing Minecraft playing with those 3 mods just made me play Minecraft more and more
Gotta wait a decade or two to have saved enough decent gaming laptop for this. Will definitely be worth the wait
This really just makes you wanna build a huge kingdom just to look at it from a distance
i'd sell both kidneys and live my days plugged into a support machine for a pc that could run all this buttery smooth
It's amazing how far Minecraft has come. Especially for it being the simple game that it is.
show this to a minecrafter in 2014 and their nearest pc would combust into flames
This legit made me actually want to go back to playing Minecraft.
My jaw was on the floor for the entire video 😮. That looks absolutely amazing.
I bet this made notch shed a tear.
Imagine Lord of the Rings themed builds in this mod. In the distant lands you see the eye of Sauron peering at you or on a far away lands, an elvish city of Rivendell in all its glory.
I have a 3060 XC so I'm pretty sure my card would have a heart attack running vanilla Minecraft. With this, my shit would be introduced to every level of hell in Dante's inferno.
