Fps horizon

Port to NeoForge (1.21.1) - Ported the mod from Forge 1.20.1 to NeoForge 1.21.1. - Maintained all performance optimizations, dynamic render distance logic, and smooth fog transitions.

## 🔧 FPS Horizon v1.3.0 – Stable at last After several buggy alphas and betas, **this version finally fixes the visual holes** and the need to press F3+A. The culling system has been rewritten from scratch, properly synchronised with Embeddium. ### ✅ What's new / fixed - **No more holes** when moving or changing render distance - **No more F3+A** – chunks now appear/disappear smoothly - **Chunk retention** while render distance increases - **Silent render distance changes** – no world reloads or flickering - **Removed obsolete options** (vertical/horizontal scales, culling profiles) - **Better debug info** – verbose mode shows culling stats ### 🐞 Still an issue? If you find any bug, hole, or unexpected behaviour, **please report it on GitHub** so I can fix it: 👉 [https://github.com/Kratos-PalletTown/fps-horizon/issues](https://github.com/Kratos-PalletTown/fps-horizon/issues) Include your config (RD, extra blocks, etc.) and steps to reproduce. This is my first mod – every report helps a lot. ❤️ **Thank you for your patience and support.** – *Kratos, from Pueblo Paleta*

# 📋 Changelog v1.2.0 (Beta) ## ✨ What's New ### Dynamic Simulation Distance - Added **Simulation Distance** category with three smart control modes: `FPS`, `MS` (server tick), and `FPS+MS`. - Adjustable min/max simulation distance, cooldown ticks, and performance thresholds. - Automatically disables MS mode on external multiplayer servers to avoid unreliable adjustments. ### UI & Configuration Improvements - Merged Render Distance, FPS Control, and Cooldowns into a single category. - Two‑column layout on the Simulation Distance screen – all options visible at a glance. - Fixed slider text positioning (labels left, values right). - Visual warnings when config values conflict (min > max). ### Advanced Culling Adjustments - Disables horizontal culling at **Render Distance ≤ 4 chunks** – prevents black gaps when moving sideways. - Added **15% radius margin** to the culling ellipsoid – reduces chunk pop‑in. - Fog transitions now sync with culling profile changes – eliminates visual gaps when switching profiles. --- ## 🐞 Known Issues (current version) - **Visual holes** sometimes appear when moving or changing render distance, especially at low RD (2‑4 chunks). - **F3+A** (reload chunks) temporarily fixes the holes – a clear sign that the culling system and the render engine are not always synchronized. - **Horizontal culling** can be too aggressive on some setups, causing chunks to disappear earlier than expected. > *Why does this happen?* > The mod uses an ellipsoid (3D shape) to decide which chunks to render. > But the render engine (Embeddium/vanilla) doesn't always immediately update when the ellipsoid changes – so some chunks remain invisible even though they should be visible, or vice versa. --- ## 🛠️ What I'm working on (next fixes) - **Complete rework of the culling system** – moving from a complex ellipsoid with hysteresis to a simpler, more stable formula inspired by proven mods (like Better Render Distance). - **Better synchronization with Embeddium** – using the official `RenderSectionDistanceFilterEvent` API instead of fragile mixins, so the engine always knows when the culling shape changes. - **Removing the need for F3+A** – automatically notifying the renderer when render distance or culling parameters change, without full world reloads. - **Smoother vertical culling** – adding a small extra margin to the vertical axis to prevent holes when looking up/down. > *First version was buggy, I know.* > I'm learning and improving step by step. The next update will focus **100% on stability** – no new features until the culling system works flawlessly. --- ## 📌 Notes for testers - If you experience holes, please **share your render distance, vertical scale, and whether you use Embeddium**. - Temporary workaround: press **F3+A** to reload chunks. - Help me fix it faster – report issues on GitHub/GitLab. Thank you for your patience. ❤️

v1.1.1 Changelog Improved: Overall stability during chunk updates. ⚠️ KNOWN BUG IN THIS VERSION (v1.1.1): There is a known issue with the new vertical culling system. When moving up or down quickly (changing altitude), sections of the world might temporarily disappear or leave visual gaps (holes). 👉 Quick Fix: * **On PC: Press F3 + A to force a silent reload of the chunks and fix the visual gaps instantly. * **On Android: Changing your render distance by 1 chunk in the video settings will also force the world to reload and fix it. 🛠️ Next Update: I'm already working on an automatic "silent reload" system so you don't have to do this manually!

Added a new culling system that hides blocks outside the player's vertical and horizontal view to improve rendering performance. ⚠️ **KNOWN BUG IN THIS VERSION:** This version has a known issue where user configurations might not save correctly, and visual gaps (holes) can appear in the world during dynamic rendering. 👉 **Fix:** Please download version **v1.1.1 (Beta)** or newer, where this issue has been completely fixed!
