    Minecaft's modding community is honestly insane. Its to the point that its not really even just adding features & whatnot anymore, they're literally improving the back-end code of the game. I cant think of any modding community that's on that level. Maybe modders of Valve games, i dunno
    Edit: It's hard to compare modding communities or any creative fandom in general to one another, because people almost always only deeply know one side of the argument and never both.

      The problem is that Minecraft Java is full of spaghetti code and is an unoptimized hell, especially when Mojang was bought by Microsoft. It runs terribly on low spec PCs without a bunch of optimization mods. Its also the reason why Mojang created Bedrock. Its essentially an entirely new game backend-wise, and why it doesnt have features Java has (but very optimised and stable).

    Honestly I’ve always came back to Minecraft, nothing has ever driven me away from the game. Just that new games come out, I play through those then eventually you get the itch to go back and start again in Minecraft. Especially modded Minecraft, with 100+ mod packs that have quests and takes you through the game in a whole new light. Every modpack feels different, a whole new game sometimes and it’s only getting better with time. This is astounding to see that we’ve come this far in tech that a game that’s 12 years old can look just as good as some of the releases today. Even though the blocky look to the game stays the same it just looks good.

    For those that are curious about how it looks in VR I’ve tried it. Unfortunately you really notice the drastically lower block detail when the distant horizon is rendered in. It’s amplified a lot in VR. To be fair it’s not meant for VR. Hopefully in the future that’ll change cause it’s an incredible mod.
    For flat screen, levelcap is spot on. it’s an absolute game changer. The distant horizon blends in so well with the rendered world. It’s stunning to get this at little to no fps hit. Really shows the vastness of your Minecraft world.

    Oh nice, I see Distant Horizons is really gaining some traction lol. The funny thing is they rebuilt Minecraft for consoles in DX12 and didn't even do anything like this, meanwhile one guy added LODs in the hard to work with Java version. Shaders, RT, 120 fps, none of that is in bedrock edition on consoles.
    Another mod that works really well with this is ReTerraforged. It changes the terrain generation so that there are bigger biomes with larger mountains, lakes, etc. It really brings out the larger view distance.

    Flowstate is a super chill commentary Chanel that made a really cool modpack called “Better Adventure +” many OG players would love. Best way to play is to use his modpack and add DH into it. I used it as a base and made my dream way to play MC. Me and my nephews are having a blast rn. Just DH alone will give them memories for life.

    This really is an amazing mod and I truly think it’s going to change the game forever! The only reason I won’t immediately jump to integrating this into all of my future worlds in its current state (besides some bugginess) is the fact that you have to preload a pretty large area of the world (at least 1000 chunks) to get it to work seamlessly. Even with new cpus this can take a while, and will take longer when used along side world generation mods like terralith. This can kind of suck when you finally finish preloading and realize that you’re not a huge fan of the area you generated. And when you are satisfied, once you decide to explore more of the world you’ll have to preload even more chunks. For all of the positives that this mod provides this is really a minor issue, but it makes using the mod casually pretty much impossible, at least for me and my last gen pc.
