This Is Only 2 Render Distance With This Amazing Minecraft Mod

Hey guys welcome back to another video today i’m going to be showing you one of the coolest mods i’ve come across in quite some time this mod does something i’ve never really seen before and it plans on doing a whole lot more in the future as currently it is a very early

Access mod but even in its current state i think you guys are going to be very impressed by it and anyways let’s go ahead and check it out alright so you’ll probably notice that i am currently playing at a very high render distance i can see mountains clear across on the

Other side of the valley and generally just details you wouldn’t be able to see at a lower setting but the thing is i am at the low setting right now i am playing at 2 render distance and you’re probably wondering how’s this even possible well this mod adds a fully

Functioning lods to minecraft and in case you’re wondering what lods are essentially it’s something that most other games use and if an object is farther away it has less detail just to make it a bit easier for the game to run and if you’re paying attention you’ll

Probably notice these the most in open world games simply because the world’s so big they just have to use them and minecraft doesn’t have lods as far as i’m aware which is why when you go to higher render distances your game just comes to a screeching halt it’s

Rendering the same amount of detail no matter how far away something is and this mod makes a change to that and because it adds lods you’ll notice when i zoom in things start to look very strange and that’s because the idea of lods is that they look good enough from

A distance while giving you a huge boost to performance they won’t look perfect but so long as you don’t overanalyze them they’ll blend in just fine now this mod right now is more of a concept at the moment it’s literally listed when you load in as a pre-pre-pre alpha so

You should probably use it at your own risk and i wouldn’t really recommend using it in a world that you actually care about but it is a lot of fun to play around with and just see what it can do and keep in mind that this mod is

Only available for 1.12 right now so if you want to do just that you’re gonna have to use that version and as i mentioned before i’m currently only using two render distance and this is playable although i’m not sure i would recommend it because most things are

Only actually going to spawn once they are within two chunks of you so you’re gonna have stuff just appearing out of nowhere now here’s a little comparison for you just showing different render distances with this mod and the higher you have your actual render distance set the less noticeable the pop-in’s gonna

Be now realistically with this mod installed you really shouldn’t even need anything above say 16 and at that point you’re gonna have practically no noticeable pop-in whatsoever and probably the best thing about this mod is just how much of a performance boost you’re gonna get from it right now

You’re looking at 64 render distance which you can get to if you use optifine and you can see i’m sitting around 25 fps which is pretty low once however we switch over to the far plane 2 mod you will see that i’m sitting over 500 fps it doesn’t look quite as good but

Honestly for the fps boost you get it’s worth it now obviously as the mod is a pre-pre-pre alpha not everything is going to work entirely right for example as you can see snow doesn’t even show up outside of your actual render distance but for the most part so long as you

Don’t zoom in super close on the distant features you generally won’t be able to see much of a difference it really just does a great job of blending itself in with your actual chunks and the creator of this mod has some pretty wild goals for the future goals that if achieved

Would make this mod unbelievable some of these that are listed include be able to use render distances of at least 100 000 blocks which is just an unfathomable number considering what you see right now is 1024 blocks plus they want to limit the performance hit to at most 25

Using their integrated graphics so if this was achieved you could be using these insane render distances on a pretty low end computer so if the creator of this mod takes as far as they’re wanting to this could truly be game changing so if you want to give

This mod a try for yourself remember you have to use version 1.12.2 and you’re gonna need three mods obviously the main mod far plane two along with forge rocks and mixing remember it is a very early stage mod so expect to have some bugs with it but i would absolutely recommend

At least checking it out and that’s gonna do it for this video and remember if you want to download the mod and the mods that you need to use it you can find them all in the description below and let me know what you thought about
