Description

Companion Mod for HorizonLOD

🌄 HorizonLOD Autogen

Because HorizonLOD can't render chunks that don't exist yet.

HorizonLOD Autogen fires up a background generation pipeline that churns through world chunks and feeds them directly into HorizonLOD — so your distant terrain is fully populated even in places you've never set foot. No void horizons. No awkward pop-in. Just a world that's already there when you look at it.

⚠️ Work In Progress — Rough Edges Ahead

This mod is actively in development. It can be unstable or slow in some situations — particularly on busy servers or large worlds. Feedback, crash reports and suggestions are very welcome.

💡 Performance Tip

Autogen is fast — sometimes too fast. If you're seeing lag spikes or stuttering, decrease the chunk load frequency in the config. A slightly slower tick rate gives your CPU room to breathe and makes the whole experience noticeably smoother.

✨ What It Does

🗺️ Background Chunk Generation Generates chunks across your entire world without you having to travel there. The world builds itself while you play.	⚡ Auto-Ingestion Pipeline Freshly generated chunks are fed straight into HorizonLOD the moment they're ready. Real-time. No manual steps.
🏔️ No More Void Horizons HorizonLOD always has terrain data to work with. Unexplored regions render correctly instead of leaving empty holes in the distance.	📈 Stable at High Render Distances Push your render distance as far as HorizonLOD lets you. Autogen keeps the terrain consistent and gap-free out to the edge.
⚙️ Zero-Config by Default Install it. Forget it. It runs silently in the background. Tweak only if you want to.	🔗 Purpose-Built for HorizonLOD Not a general-purpose chunk pre-gen tool. Specifically designed to fill the gap HorizonLOD depends on.

⚙️ Config Reference

These are the options you'll actually want to tweak. Everything else can stay at default.

Option	Default	Notes
`Generation Radius`	128	128 chunks is plenty for most players. Bump it up only if you're pushing extreme render distances and still see gaps.
`Scanner Interval (Ticks)`	20	Default scans every 20 ticks — very frequent. Recommended: set to 80. Scans less often but saves a noticeable amount of FPS and TPS, especially on busy servers.
`Max Queue Size`	20000	How many chunks can be queued up at once. Default is fine for most setups.
`Max Parallel Tasks`	20	This is the big one. Default of 20 will tank your FPS while playing. Set it to 6–7 for normal play — it's still fast and your game stays smooth. Only crank it back up if you're standing still or you have a machine that laughs at chunk generation.
