ВЕРСИИ (246)

### New Features - **Draw far players farther** — The new "Extend Far Player Draw Range" option on the Far Players page (off by default) draws far players past the game's normal draw distance when you use an LOD mod such as Voxy. Fog can still hide very distant players; turn off your LOD mod's fog if they fade out. - **Map permission** — With `privacy.request_no_map_ingestion` on, players with the `lss.map_ingestion` permission can still add LOD terrain to their maps (needs a permissions plugin such as LuckPerms). ### Bug Fixes - **Paper version check** — The Paper plugin no longer starts on a Minecraft version it wasn't built for, which could fill the LOD store with empty terrain. Paper LOD stores rebuild once after updating; if distant terrain went missing after a Paper update, players who joined during that time should run `/lss clearcache` once while connected. ### Support - **Platforms** — Fabric, Paper/Purpur/Folia (experimental), NeoForge and Sponge (experimental) for Minecraft 26.3. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.19.1...v0.20.0

### New Features - **Nether maps in Xaero's World Map** — LOD terrain now fills Xaero's cave maps, so the Nether map shows distant terrain at whatever height you're at. Changing height refills the map from a local copy (about 65 MB at the default distance; `/lss clearcache` removes it). - **Cave maps in the Overworld** — Terrain that arrives while you're under a roof fills the cave map you're viewing. - **Keep LOD terrain off players' maps** — Servers can set `privacy.request_no_map_ingestion` (off by default) to ask clients not to add LOD terrain to Xaero's World Map or JourneyMap. Clients older than 0.19.0 get no LODs while it's on and are told to update. - **Faster loading with JourneyMap** — Distant terrain loads faster while it's also being added to JourneyMap's map. ### Support - **Platforms** — Fabric, Paper/Purpur, NeoForge and Sponge (experimental) for Minecraft 26.3. - **Downgrading** — Server settings files created by 0.19.0 don't load on 0.18 or older. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.18.0...v0.19.0

Clients older than 0.19.0 get no LODs while it's on and are told to update. - **Faster loading with JourneyMap** — Distant terrain loads faster while it's also being added to JourneyMap's map. ### Support - **Platforms** — Fabric, Paper/Purpur, NeoForge and Sponge (experimental) for Minecraft 26.3. - **Downgrading** — Server settings files created by 0.19.0 don't load on 0.18 or older. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.18.0...v0.19.0

### New Features - **Minecraft 26.3** — Now supported.

On by default for new installs. - **LODs off per world** — Set a world's LOD distance to 0 to turn LODs off there. - **Sponge (experimental)** — Runs on SpongeVanilla servers; put the jar in `mods/`. Thanks to StealWonders for the original port. ### Bug Fixes - **Black terrain on Distant Horizons servers** — Terrain just past your view distance no longer turns black as you move. Areas already affected clear up when you next visit them. - **Adding Voxy after map-only use** — Map-only terrain now downloads again for Voxy instead of leaving gaps.

Use `<world> default` to remove an override. ### Configuration - **World keys** — Fabric and NeoForge use dimension IDs such as `minecraft:the_nether`. Paper tries the Bukkit world name first, then the dimension ID. An empty override map preserves the existing global distance. - **Live updates** — Current-protocol clients receive the appropriate distance when settings change or they enter a world with a different limit. Legacy clients pick up the advertised limit when they reconnect. Global presets preserve independent world overrides. ### Support and Compatibility - **Platforms** — Fabric and Paper/Purpur on Minecraft 1.21.10. NeoForge remains a maintained build and is not published; Folia is unavailable. - **Protocol** — Preserves the existing wire protocol and LSS/VSS configuration/cache adoption. This release publishes LSS only. - **Known limitations** — Existing Xaero first-spawn gaps, region-boundary shading seams and shader/LOD-depth limitations remain. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.15.0+mc1.21.10...v0.15.1+mc1.21.10

### New Features - **LOD status screen** — `/lss status` shows connection state, transfer activity and available integrations, with a reception toggle. It works without Sodium and is also accessible from supported Sodium settings screens. - **Local diagnostic exports** — Client `/lss diagnostics export` and server `/lsslod diagnostics export` save sanitized troubleshooting reports locally. Nothing uploads automatically. - **Previewable presets with undo** — Client presets include `map-only` and an explicit Xaero-writing variant; server presets include `pregenerated-world` and `conservative`. Preview changes before applying them, and undo the last application when its settings have not been changed independently. - **Far-player visibility and privacy controls** — Adds readable, sneak-hidden name tags and an optional full-bright mode. Fabric and NeoForge servers honor the far-player hide permission and Melius Vanish; Paper also hides players disguised with LibsDisguises. ### Bug Fixes - **Fewer redundant chunk downloads after restart** — Recognizes unchanged loaded chunks instead of broadcasting ordinary metadata saves as terrain changes. - **More reliable Xaero map updates** — Retains deferred work for regions that are not ready, retries discarded work through the normal delivery lifecycle, and refreshes dependent shading within a map region after tile updates. - **Cleaner reconnects and reception toggles** — Retires obsolete requests and callbacks when disconnecting, changing worlds or turning LOD reception off, while preserving valid map redraws already owed to the current world. - **Safer terrain and cache updates** — Corrects stale loaded-data races, retracts uncertain cache validation, verifies legacy stored data before migration, and preserves incomplete invalidation after interruption. - **Improved far-player rendering** — Corrects dark lighting, restores nearby skin overlay layers, reduces armor/item flicker, and improves gliding, swimming and stopped-walk poses. Stationary name changes and runtime server-side disabling now update existing far-player displays. - **More reliable settings changes** — Applies related settings consistently, reports changes that could not be saved, and keeps restart-only changes staged until restart. Legacy Voxy cache-reset compatibility is improved. - **NeoForge library compatibility** — Packages zstd-jni as a shared nested library, avoiding the startup module conflict with XMMP and other mods bundling the same library. - **Folia freshness corrections (experimental)** — Preserves newer loaded-chunk results when an earlier disk or stored-data response completes. Folia support remains experimental. ### Configuration - **Conservative server preset is opt-in** — Selects a 32-chunk LOD radius, global generation concurrency 4 and per-player concurrency 1. It does not change the normal defaults or guarantee a performance improvement for every server. - **Generation preset takes effect after restart** — `pregenerated-world` stages generation disabling for the next restart; diagnostics distinguish configured and running values. - **Far-player animation range** — `farPlayersMaxAnimationDistanceBlocks` now defaults to 512 blocks instead of 256. The new `farPlayersFullBright` option defaults to off. ### Compatibility and Known Limitations - **Platforms** — Fabric on Minecraft 26.1–26.1.2; Paper/Purpur and NeoForge target 26.1.2. Folia remains experimental and NeoForge remains best-effort. Far-player display improvements apply to the Fabric client; the NeoForge client does not render far players. - **Wire compatibility** — This release preserves the existing LSS/VSS wire protocol and configuration/cache adoption behavior. VSS uses the equivalent `/vss` and `/vsslod` commands. - **Xaero map limitations** — Brief gaps can remain near the player at first spawn, and native region-boundary slope approximation can produce shading seams. This release does not include the proposed acquisition or boundary-shading workarounds. - **Shader limitations** — Some shader/Voxy combinations can draw far players over LOD terrain when LOD depth is unavailable to the player renderer. Players beyond the game’s far plane are not drawn. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.14.0+mc26.1...v0.15.0+mc26.1

Fabric and NeoForge servers honor the far-player hide permission and Melius Vanish; Paper also hides players disguised with LibsDisguises. - **Per-world LOD distance limits** — Server admins can override the default distance for individual worlds; the limit follows players when they change dimensions. ### Bug Fixes - **Fewer redundant chunk downloads after restart** — Recognizes unchanged loaded chunks instead of broadcasting ordinary metadata saves as terrain changes. - **More reliable Xaero map updates** — Retains deferred work for regions that are not ready, retries discarded work through the normal delivery lifecycle, and refreshes dependent shading within a map region after tile updates. - **Cleaner reconnects and reception toggles** — Retires obsolete requests and callbacks when disconnecting, changing worlds or turning LOD reception off, while preserving valid map redraws already owed to the current world. - **Safer terrain and cache updates** — Corrects stale loaded-data races, retracts uncertain cache validation, verifies legacy stored data before migration, and preserves incomplete invalidation after interruption. - **Improved far-player rendering** — Corrects dark lighting, restores nearby skin overlay layers, reduces armor/item flicker, and improves gliding, swimming and stopped-walk poses. Stationary name changes and runtime server-side disabling now update existing far-player displays. - **More reliable settings changes** — Applies related settings consistently, reports changes that could not be saved, and keeps restart-only changes staged until restart. Legacy Voxy cache-reset compatibility is improved. - **NeoForge library compatibility** — Packages zstd-jni as a shared nested library, avoiding the startup module conflict with XMMP and other mods bundling the same library. - **Folia freshness corrections (experimental)** — Preserves newer loaded-chunk results when an earlier disk or stored-data response completes. Folia support remains experimental. ### Configuration - **Conservative server preset is opt-in** — Selects a 32-chunk LOD radius, global generation concurrency 4 and per-player concurrency 1. It does not change the normal defaults or guarantee a performance improvement for every server. - **Generation preset takes effect after restart** — `pregenerated-world` stages generation disabling for the next restart; diagnostics distinguish configured and running values. - **Far-player animation range** — `farPlayersMaxAnimationDistanceBlocks` now defaults to 512 blocks instead of 256. The new `farPlayersFullBright` option defaults to off. ### Compatibility and Known Limitations - **Platforms** — Fabric, Paper/Purpur and NeoForge on Minecraft 26.2. Folia remains experimental and NeoForge remains best-effort. Far-player display improvements apply to the Fabric client; the NeoForge client does not render far players. - **Wire compatibility** — This release preserves the existing LSS/VSS wire protocol and configuration/cache adoption behavior. VSS uses the equivalent `/vss` and `/vsslod` commands. - **Xaero map limitations** — Brief gaps can remain near the player at first spawn, and native region-boundary slope approximation can produce shading seams. This release does not include the proposed acquisition or boundary-shading workarounds. - **Shader limitations** — Some shader/Voxy combinations can draw far players over LOD terrain when LOD depth is unavailable to the player renderer. Players beyond the game’s far plane are not drawn. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.14.0...v0.15.0

### New Features - **Optional permission gate.** Servers can now require the `lss.use` and `vss.use` permissions before serving LODs to a player. Off by default, so nothing changes unless you turn it on. - **Separate cache per world.** On proxy networks that put several worlds behind one address, your distant terrain no longer mixes between them. - **Safer /lss reset.** Reset now checks your Voxy setup before clearing anything and warns you if something looks wrong. Use `/lss reset voxy-force` for unusual setups. - **NeoForge: distant players now render.** Far-away players show up in your LOD terrain on the NeoForge build, the same as on Fabric. Best-effort on this line. ### Bug Fixes - **NeoForge: LODs now work on LAN worlds.** Opening a world to LAN on the NeoForge build now serves LODs to players who join. Before, the NeoForge build only served them on dedicated servers. - **Far player privacy fixes (Paper).** Hidden and vanished players stay hidden, and one misbehaving permissions plugin no longer breaks far players for everyone. ### Compatibility - Mixed client and server versions stay fully compatible in both directions. This line (Fabric, Paper, and NeoForge) is best-effort. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.13.1+mc1.21.1...v0.14.0+mc1.21.1

### Performance - **Fixes client stuttering when many LOD chunks are loaded** — The client no longer re-scans its entire LOD area on every chunk crossing or update notice, only the affected rings. Removes the periodic hitch while moving at large LOD distances. The new client option `enableScanPrefixRetention` (default `true`) restores the old behavior when set to `false`. - **Distant generation no longer pauses during nearby block updates** — LOD terrain keeps generating at the configured caps while changed chunks are re-sent, so worlds fill in faster on busy servers. ### Bug Fixes - **NeoForge mods screen shows the mod description and icon** — The NeoForge listing now matches Fabric.

### New Features - **Cross-version LOD serving** — a client and server on different Minecraft versions can now exchange LODs: any two of 26.2, 26.1, and 1.21.11 work together once both sides run v0.10.0. Older LSS clients (v0.4.x and newer) keep working through the built-in compatibility layers. - **ViaVersion safety guard** — a client joining through ViaVersion with an older LSS installed is declined cleanly instead of being sent LODs it cannot decode. ### Performance - **LOD serving interferes less with normal chunk loading** — LOD disk reads now stay almost entirely off Minecraft's own chunk-loading path (Fabric), and chunk parsing is leaner. - **The freshness cache tracks far more terrain in the same memory** — large LOD distances no longer thrash it; existing caches upgrade automatically. ### Configuration - **Bigger defaults** — LOD distance defaults to 512 chunks (was 256), and generation concurrency to 40 server-wide / 40 per player. - **Bandwidth caps are now set in MiB/s** — `mbPerSecondLimitPerPlayer` (default `25.0`) and `mbPerSecondLimitGlobal` (default `75.0`) replace the old byte-denominated keys; decimals like `12.5` work, and old config files keep working unchanged. - **The LOD store is on for new servers** — freshly generated configs enable it (`lodStore: "on"`): repeat requests are served from a per-world store for a fraction of the work, at the cost of roughly doubling the world folder once warmed (`lodStoreMaxMB` bounds it). Upgrading never changes your disk footprint: an existing config without the key keeps the store off until you enable it. - **A slimmer generated config** — rarely-needed expert switches no longer appear in generated files, but remain honored if you add them. ### Notes - An existing LOD store upgrades in place on first boot via a background pass — no rebuild, and serving continues meanwhile. - Folia support remains **experimental** (single-player validation only). - This is the MC 1.21.11 build of the v0.10.0 tri-release: all three lines (26.2, 26.1, 1.21.11) ship the same mod at the same feature level, differing only in Minecraft bindings.

Upgrading never changes your disk footprint: an existing config without the key keeps the store off until you enable it. - **A slimmer generated config** — rarely-needed expert switches no longer appear in generated files, but remain honored if you add them. ### Notes - An existing LOD store upgrades in place on first boot via a background pass — no rebuild, and serving continues meanwhile. - Folia support remains **experimental** (single-player validation only). **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.9.1...v0.10.0

### Bug Fixes - **Improves the experience on older clients** — v0.7.x–v0.8.x clients get full-quality LOD sessions again instead of the legacy fallback. ### Configuration - **Adjusted defaults** — lower default bandwidth caps (15 MiB/s per player, 60 MiB/s global; existing config files keep their values), and servers running without the LOD store get a one-line startup tip explaining how to enable it. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.9.0...v0.9.1

### New Features - **LOD store — recommended, off by default** — LSS can keep a compressed copy of every LOD column it serves and answer repeat requests from it instead of re-reading and re-serializing chunks. On a warm store that is ~99% of requests, at roughly 80% less CPU per column. It is **off by default** only because it roughly doubles your world folder, which should be your decision rather than a surprise. Turn it on with `"lodStore": "full"` — that one key also enables the background warm-up that pre-fills it from your existing world. Bound it with `lodStoreMaxMB` if disk is tight; it is derived data, so deleting `<world>/lss-lod/` is always safe. - **Lower CPU per served chunk** — LOD columns are now compressed once on the server and sent to every client as-is, instead of Minecraft's connection compression re-compressing them per player. Bandwidth is roughly unchanged; the saving is CPU on both ends. - **Faster LOD streaming while you stand still** — the client requests the next batch as soon as the last one arrives, up to four times a second, instead of on a fixed one-second timer. While moving fast the rate stays near the old cadence by design. - **Folia support on Minecraft 26.2** — Folia published its first 26.2 build, so the plugin loads on it again. Folia support remains **experimental**: single-player scenarios pass, concurrent multi-region play is still unvalidated. ### Configuration - **Higher bandwidth defaults** — 25 MiB/s per player (was 20), 256 MiB/s total (was 100). Two settings also auto-size themselves now: set `diskReaderThreads` and `perDimensionTimestampCacheSizeMB` to `0` and LSS picks values from your hardware and LOD distance. - **Upgrading keeps your existing settings** — every value already in your config file is preserved, so the new defaults and auto-sizing will **not** reach you. Delete `diskReaderThreads`, `perDimensionTimestampCacheSizeMB`, `bytesPerSecondLimitPerPlayer` and `bytesPerSecondLimitGlobal` from the file (or delete the file) to pick them up. - **Retired settings** — `lodStore: "memory"`, `lodStoreMemoryMB`, `lodStoreBackfillTickCeilingMillis` and `syncOnLoadConcurrencyLimitPerPlayer` are gone. They are ignored and dropped from your file on the next save; nothing else in it is touched. ### Bug Fixes - **Turning LSS off now really turns it off** — with `enabled: false` the server no longer creates LOD data or walks your region files. - **Disabling background read priority no longer increases disk load** — setting `useBackgroundReadPriority` to `false`, which admins do when LSS reads compete with normal chunk loading, could give LSS *more* full-priority read threads than before. - **Diagnostic traces stop when you disconnect** — `/lss trace` kept running across disconnects and server changes with no size limit, and produced unreadable output where a comma is the decimal separator. - **Paper: compression no longer switches off after a reconnect** — a client reconnecting through the legacy-protocol fallback spent the rest of its session receiving uncompressed data. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.8.2...v0.9.0

### Bug Fixes - **Fixes a fatal world-load crash with Moonrise installed (Fabric)** — Servers running the Moonrise optimization mod crashed during startup with a Mixin injection error. LSS's edit detection now hooks the chunk save-data step every chunk system shares, and if a future chunk-system mod bypasses even that, LSS degrades to refresh-on-rejoin instead of crashing. - **Block edits now reach connected clients live on C2ME servers (Fabric)** — C2ME's rewritten chunk saving bypassed LSS's old save hook entirely, so edited terrain was never re-broadcast and clients only saw changes after rejoining. The new hook sits on the save path C2ME uses too; validated end-to-end against real Moonrise and C2ME servers. - **Fixes a race that could freeze stale LOD terrain for a whole session** — A client re-request crossing a block edit could be answered "up to date" from pre-edit state, sealing the outdated column until reconnect. Change notifications now apply before requests are processed. - **The client LOD cache no longer forgets distant terrain** — Saving the client's column cache trimmed it to a disc around the player, erasing far-away history and causing ghost terrain plus full re-downloads on revisit. Saves now merge with the existing cache. - **Blocks renamed by Minecraft updates no longer blank out LOD columns** — A single unrecognized block in an old region file dropped its whole section, and a fully unreadable column could even wipe the client's correct cached terrain. Disk reads now load leniently (unknown blocks become air, matching vanilla's own behavior), and truly unreadable columns regenerate instead. - **Bandwidth caps are enforced accurately** — Column payloads larger than one tick's allowance were sent without being charged, letting sustained traffic exceed tight configured caps several times over. The limiter now carries debt, so real throughput converges to the configured cap. - **`/reload` no longer strands connected LOD sessions (Paper)** — After a reload, connected clients kept requesting while the server silently ignored them until they reconnected. The server now re-attaches orphaned sessions automatically. - **Fixes a rare loss of freshly generated chunks (Paper)** — Generated chunks are serialized the moment the chunk system delivers them, so a chunk unloading right after generation can no longer vanish from the response. Also applies to Folia, which remains experimental. - **Anti-x-ray masking recovers from early engine-probe failures** — If the anti-xray engine was not yet readable at first serve, masking locked onto the LSS fallback block list for the whole session; it now retries and adopts the engine's own hidden-block list once available. Masking stayed active either way. - **Malformed network frames no longer flood the server log (Paper)** — Corrupt or hostile plugin-message frames now log a throttled one-line warning instead of a stack trace per frame. ### Performance - **Prevents chunk-loading stalls after generation timeouts (Fabric)** — A timed-out LOD generation released all of its chunk tickets at once, which could freeze chunk loading for up to a minute on C2ME servers. Releases are now staggered over multiple ticks. - **Cheaper background scanning near the player (client)** — Positions hidden inside vanilla render distance are parked instead of re-walked on every scan, reducing client CPU during normal play. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.8.1...v0.8.2

### Bug Fixes - **Fixes a server memory leak that could crash busy servers** — Cache saves could queue up faster than they finished writing, each holding a full in-memory copy (reported as an out-of-memory crash within hours — issue #62). Saves now coalesce to the newest state, so memory stays bounded. - **Fixes dark faces returning after block edits near LOD terrain** — Re-served columns lost their above-terrain sky light, quietly undoing the v0.8.0 black-faces fix. Sky light now survives every re-serve, and a WorldEdit-cleared column renders bright open sky instead of a black volume. - **LOD now works in "Open to LAN" worlds** — Opening a single-player world to LAN never started the LOD service on MC 26.2; only the `/publish` command worked. - **Bounded memory on long flights** — Per-player served-chunk tracking no longer grows for the whole session; far-behind entries are swept periodically. - **Fair disk scheduling between players** — Under heavy disk load, one player could monopolize LOD disk reads while everyone else's terrain stalled. Service now rotates fairly every cycle. ### Performance - **Much faster cache saves and loads** — Cache files now use buffered IO instead of one tiny write per entry; large saves drop from seconds to milliseconds, which also speeds up server shutdown and client disconnect. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.8.0...v0.8.1

### Bug Fixes - **Fixes black faces at chunk borders and treetops** — LOD data now carries the sky light for the air around terrain, so leaves and cliff sides no longer render black from one side at certain distances. Run `/lss clearcache` once after updating so already-cached LOD data picks up the fix. - **Anti-xray now fully covers LOD data** — On servers with anti-xray enabled, LOD chunk data could still be inspected to locate hidden ores. Masked LOD data now carries no trace of hidden blocks. - **LOD loading starts reliably on Paper** — The first batch of LOD requests could be lost at join (recovered a second later). Sessions now start cleanly. ### Compatibility - **Three Minecraft versions at once** — v0.8.0 also ships as `v0.8.0+mc26.1` (MC 26.1.x, experimental Folia support) and `v0.8.0+mc1.21.11` (experimental Folia support). Install the build matching your Minecraft version. - **No protocol change** — v0.7.x clients and servers keep working with v0.8.0 unchanged, and the compatibility layer for v0.4.x–v0.6.x clients is untouched. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.7.3...v0.8.0

### Compatibility - **The full v0.8.0 feature set for Minecraft 1.21.11** — Updates this line straight from v0.5.0+mc1.21.11 with everything since. Fabric: MC 1.21.11, Java 21+, Fabric API 0.141+. Paper/Purpur: 1.21.11. Folia: 1.21.11 (experimental). Also released: `v0.8.0` (MC 26.2) and `v0.8.0+mc26.1`. - **Works with v0.5.0+mc1.21.11 both ways** — Update the client, the server, or both, in any order. A v0.8.0 server keeps serving v0.5.0 clients; a v0.8.0 client still gets LODs (including newly generated terrain) from a v0.5.0 server. ### New Features - **More reliable LOD loading** — Requests the server drops under load retry automatically within a second: no more permanently missing patches, and terrain keeps streaming while you fly. - **Server performance is protected** — LOD disk reads and LOD terrain generation run below normal player chunk loading, so players always win. - **LOD terrain fills near-to-far** — Generation no longer jumps ahead of closer missing terrain. - **Anti-xray now covers LOD data** — The server's anti-xray (Paper's built-in, or the AntiXray mod on Fabric) is detected automatically and the same ores are masked in LOD data, with no trace of the hidden blocks left in it. ### Bug Fixes - **Fixes black faces at chunk borders and treetops** — LOD data now carries the sky light for the air around terrain, so leaves and cliff sides no longer render black from one side at certain distances. Run `/lss clearcache` once after updating so already-cached LOD data picks up the fix. - **LOD sessions start reliably on Paper and Folia** — The first batch of LOD requests can no longer be lost at join. - **Quieter console under heavy disk load** — Slow-disk warnings are summarized instead of flooding the log; affected chunks retry automatically. ### Configuration - New server options: `enableV16Compat` (default on — keeps v0.5.0 clients working), `useBackgroundReadPriority` (default on — set `false` to restore the old foreground disk reads), `missMemoTtlSeconds` (default 30), and `xrayObfuscation` / `xrayHiddenBlocks` / `xrayMaxBlockHeight` (default `"auto"` adopts the server's anti-xray settings). The old `syncOnLoadConcurrencyLimitPerPlayer` key is retired and ignored. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.5.0+mc1.21.11...v0.8.0+mc1.21.11

A v0.8.0 server keeps serving v0.5.0 clients; a v0.8.0 client still gets LODs (including newly generated terrain) from a v0.5.0 server. ### New Features - **More reliable LOD loading** — Requests the server drops under load retry automatically within a second: no more permanently missing patches, and terrain keeps streaming while you fly. - **Server performance is protected** — LOD disk reads and LOD terrain generation run below normal player chunk loading, so players always win. - **LOD terrain fills near-to-far** — Generation no longer jumps ahead of closer missing terrain. - **Anti-xray now covers LOD data** — The server's anti-xray (Paper's built-in, or the AntiXray mod on Fabric) is detected automatically and the same ores are masked in LOD data, with no trace of the hidden blocks left in it. ### Bug Fixes - **Fixes black faces at chunk borders and treetops** — LOD data now carries the sky light for the air around terrain, so leaves and cliff sides no longer render black from one side at certain distances. Run `/lss clearcache` once after updating so already-cached LOD data picks up the fix. - **LOD sessions start reliably on Paper and Folia** — The first batch of LOD requests can no longer be lost at join. - **Quieter console under heavy disk load** — Slow-disk warnings are summarized instead of flooding the log; affected chunks retry automatically. ### Configuration - New server options: `enableV16Compat` (default on — keeps v0.5.0 clients working), `useBackgroundReadPriority` (default on — set `false` to restore the old foreground disk reads), `missMemoTtlSeconds` (default 30), and `xrayObfuscation` / `xrayHiddenBlocks` / `xrayMaxBlockHeight` (default `"auto"` adopts the server's anti-xray settings). The old `syncOnLoadConcurrencyLimitPerPlayer` key is retired and ignored. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.5.0+mc1.21.11...v0.8.0+mc1.21.11

### Compatibility - **The full v0.8.0 feature set for Minecraft 26.1.x** — Updates this line straight from v0.5.1 with everything since. Fabric: MC 26.1–26.1.2, Java 25+, Fabric API 0.146+.

### Bug Fixes - **Fixes server crash with the AntiXray mod (Fabric)** — Running DrexHD's AntiXray alongside LSS crashed the server as soon as LOD data was served. The two now work together. ### New Features - **Anti-xray protection now covers LOD data** — On servers running anti-xray (Paper's built-in, or the AntiXray mod on Fabric), distant LOD columns used to reveal real ore locations. LSS now detects the anti-xray engine automatically and masks the same ores in LOD data, so near terrain and distant terrain hide the same things. Configurable via `xrayObfuscation` (`"auto"`/`"on"`/`"off"`). **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.7.1...v0.7.2

### New Features - **"Voxy Server Side" has its own commands** — On the Voxy Server Side build, the in-game and admin commands are now `/vss` and `/vsslod` (admin permission `vss.admin`), matching the brand; the LOD Server Support build keeps `/lss` and `/lsslod`. This is a display rebrand only — both builds are the same mod on the network and interoperate in every combination. ### Configuration - **Voxy Server Side uses its own client config file** — A fresh Voxy Server Side install now creates `config/vss-client-config.json` (LOD Server Support continues to use `config/lss-client-config.json`). Swapping between the two builds still keeps every setting: each one reads the other's file when that's the one already present, so nothing is lost on a jar swap. The server config file (`lss-server-config.json`) is shared by both. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.7.0...v0.7.1

### Compatibility - **Works with older versions — update in any order** — v0.7.0 uses a new LOD networking protocol, but it stays fully compatible both ways with versions back to v0.4.x: a v0.7.0 server serves older clients, and a v0.7.0 client works with older servers. Update the client, the server, or both — in any order. Running both on v0.7.0 gives the smoothest result. ### New Features - **Faster, more reliable LOD loading** — LOD terrain streams in with fewer stalls and no more permanently missing patches: the client now declares everything it still wants once per second, so any request the server had to drop under load is retried automatically within a second instead of timing out, backing off, or silently never arriving. - **Server performance is protected while LODs stream** — Players loading normal chunks no longer compete with LOD streaming: LOD disk reads run below vanilla's own chunk loads on all platforms (on Fabric servers with chunk-IO overhaul mods like C2ME an adaptive throttle takes over instead — see below), and LOD terrain generation runs at low priority on Paper so player-driven world loading always wins. LODs fill in using whatever capacity is spare — set `useBackgroundReadPriority: false` to restore the old behavior. - **Terrain generation fills near-to-far, even while flying** — LOD-driven terrain generation now follows strict ordering rules: it never overtakes closer terrain that is still loading, stays within a couple of rings of the nearest missing area, and no longer chases ahead of fast-moving players. - **Old clients keep working** — Players still on v0.4.x or above keep receiving LODs from a v0.7.0 server: the server translates their old protocol on the fly (at the old client's slower pace). `/lsslod diag` shows a `V16Compat` line once a legacy client has connected; updating the client gets the full v0.7.0 experience. - **New clients work with old servers too** — The reverse also works now: a v0.7.0 client can render LODs from a server still on v0.4.x–v0.6.2. It detects the older protocol automatically and streams terrain — already-generated areas, and (by default) driving generation of new terrain on demand so cold areas fill in too. Nothing to configure; it just works. - **LODs behave on C2ME servers** — On Fabric servers running chunk-IO overhaul mods (C2ME), LSS detects that its background-priority reads are unavailable and switches to an adaptive throttle, so LOD streaming still yields to gameplay instead of competing with it. - **New diagnostics for admins** — `/lss trace` records a per-event log of the client's LOD activity (scans, movement, received columns with their serve source) for diagnosing issues; `/lsslod diag` now shows generation-ordering counters and the read-throttle state. - **Also available as "Voxy Server Side"** — Starting with this release, the mod is additionally published on Modrinth under the [Voxy Server Side](https://modrinth.com/plugin/voxy-server-side) name. Both listings ship the exact same mod from the same build (identical internals, config, and networking) Install either one, **but not both**; swapping between them keeps your config. ### Bug Fixes - **Flying no longer pauses LOD loading** — Crossing chunk borders faster than once per second used to silently stop all LOD requests until you stood still. Terrain now streams in along your flight path. - **Heavy building no longer stalls LOD loading** — A steady stream of world edits could previously delay LOD requests indefinitely on busy servers; change notifications no longer affect the request cadence. - **Quieter logs under heavy disk load** — A slow disk no longer floods the server console with per-chunk stack traces when LOD reads time out; timeouts are summarized in one throttled warning line per minute (they remain harmless — affected chunks are retried automatically). ### Configuration - **`enableV16Compat`** — New server option (default `true`) controlling the legacy-client compatibility layer. Set `false` to turn it off; v0.6.x clients then get no LOD session, like any other version mismatch. - **`useBackgroundReadPriority`** — New server option (default `true`) putting LOD disk reads below vanilla's own chunk loads (Fabric: IOWorker background priority; Paper: Moonrise low priority). This is a behavior change on every server — set `false` to restore the old foreground reads. - **`syncOnLoadConcurrencyLimitPerPlayer` retired** — The per-player disk-read limit is now a fixed constant (200). The old key is ignored and removed from the config file on the next save. On configurations with more than 6 disk reader threads this constant is now the binding per-player limit. - **Generation concurrency caps are server-internal** — `generationConcurrencyLimitGlobal` / `generationConcurrencyLimitPerPlayer` still exist and still limit worldgen load, but no longer affect an updated client's behavior. (Legacy v0.6.x clients still receive the per-player cap through the compatibility layer, which paces them as before.) - **`missMemoTtlSeconds`** — New server option (default `30`, clamped 0-60) controlling how long the server remembers that a chunk is not generated yet, so waiting requests skip redundant disk lookups. `0` turns the memo off entirely and restores per-request disk reads. ### Performance - **Lower server overhead with many players** — Loaded-chunk serialization now skips columns already queued to send, is shared fairly across players each tick, and is capped globally so many players backfilling at once cannot stretch the server tick. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.6.2...v0.7.0 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.6.2...v0.7.0

### Bug Fixes - **Stops console spam from disk-reader warnings** — When chunk requests briefly outpace the disk-reader pool, the server now logs one summary warning per minute (with a total count and a `diskReaderThreads` config hint) instead of one warning per chunk. Nothing is lost when this happens — clients retry automatically. (#32) - **Routine cache saves no longer log to the console** — The frequent "Saved N timestamp cache entries" message is now debug-only. Cache loading on startup and any save failures still log normally. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.6.1+mc1.21.8...v0.6.2

### New Features - **Minecraft 1.21.8 support** — The full v0.6.1 feature set is now available for Minecraft 1.21.8, from the long-lived support/mc1.21.8 branch. Ships a Fabric mod (client + server) and a Paper/Purpur/Folia server plugin, published as v0.6.1+fabric+mc1.21.8 and v0.6.1+paper+mc1.21.8. Requires Java 21 and Fabric Loader 0.16.13+. - **Folia support (experimental)** — The Paper plugin loads on Folia 1.21.8 from the same jar (folia-supported: true). Folia support remains experimental: single-player soak testing is validated, but concurrent multi-region ingress is not yet — treat it as a preview on busy multi-region servers. ### Configuration - **JSON config only on the 1.21.8 line** — The in-game config screen (Mod Menu + Sodium config integration) is not available on 1.21.8, because it requires Sodium 0.8+ and the newest Sodium for 1.21.8 is 0.7.3. All settings still work — edit config/lss-server-config.json and config/lss-client-config.json directly, exactly as on the primary line. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/commits/v0.6.1+mc1.21.8

### Configuration - **`lodDistanceChunks` maximum raised from 512 to 2048** — the server and client LOD-distance setting was capped at 512 chunks, so larger values were silently clamped down (issue #22). It now accepts up to 2048 chunks, letting admins with the bandwidth and hardware for it push LOD terrain much farther. The default is unchanged (256), and requests stay paced by the existing bandwidth and concurrency limits. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.6.0...v0.6.1

This becomes the primary line; it carries the full v0.5.x feature set with no gameplay changes, and the Minecraft 26.1.x line remains available at v0.5.1. - **26.2 is currently a preview** — several of Minecraft 26.2's upstreams are still pre-release (Paper and C2ME are in alpha, Sodium in beta).

### Bug Fixes - **Fixes stale LOD after editing a chunk that is being generated or loaded** — A block change that landed while the server was still generating or reading a distant chunk could be hidden: the pre-edit version was sent and marked up-to-date, so the edit never appeared in LOD until that chunk changed again. Edits that overtake an in-flight generation or disk read now correctly re-serve the updated column, on both Fabric and Paper. - **Folia (experimental): loaded chunks are read on their owning region thread** — On Folia, the server now reads loaded chunk data on the chunk's owning region thread instead of the global tick thread, matching Folia's threading model. Folia support remains experimental — validated by an automated single-player soak suite; busy multi-region servers are still less tested, so please report issues. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.5.0+mc1.21.11...v0.5.1

This release brings the full v0.5.0 feature set to servers still running **Minecraft 1.20.1**, published from the long-lived `support/mc1.20.1` branch. Requires Java 17+. **Important — read before installing:** Voxy has no public build for Minecraft 1.20.1, so the bundled Voxy bridge stays dormant on this version. This release is for servers whose players use a private/self-built Voxy port, or for mod developers integrating another LOD renderer through the `LSSApi` consumer interface. ### New Features - **Paper and Purpur server support on MC 1.20.1** — The v0.5.x Paper plugin now runs on 1.20.1 servers (ships properly reobfuscated for 1.20.1's Spigot-mapped runtime). - **Smarter client syncing** — All v0.5.0 sync-correctness fixes are included: lost or rejected chunks self-heal instead of leaving permanent holes, and the server pushes change notifications so distant terrain stays current after edits. - **More reliable chunk generation on Paper** — Chunks generated for LOD serving are now pinned during the load, fixing a 1.20.1 race where a freshly generated chunk could unload before it was serialized and never reach the client. ### Known Limitations - **No Folia support on this line** — Folia only has frozen 2023 alpha builds for 1.20.1, and their chunk-loading behavior breaks LSS's generation path. The plugin deliberately declines to load on Folia 1.20.1 rather than run degraded. (Folia support remains available on the MC 1.21.11 and 26.1 releases.) - **Maximum column payload is capped at 1 MiB** — a Minecraft 1.20.1 protocol limit; normal vanilla-scale chunks fit comfortably. ### Upgrade Notes - **Coming from v0.2.x** — Clients rebuild their local LOD cache once on first join (the cache format changed), so the first rejoin re-syncs from the server. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/commits/v0.5.0+mc1.20.1

This release brings the full v0.5.0 feature set to servers still running **Minecraft 1.21.11**, published from the long-lived `support/mc1.21.11` branch. Requires Java 21+; clients need Voxy 0.2.15-beta or newer. ### New Features - **Paper and Purpur server support on MC 1.21.11** — The v0.5.x Paper plugin now runs on 1.21.11 servers, replacing v0.2.3 as the recommended version for this Minecraft version. - **Folia server support (experimental)** — The same plugin jar loads on Folia 1.21.11. Folia support is experimental: it has passed single-player validation, but busy multi-region servers are still untested. - **Smarter client syncing** — All v0.5.0 sync-correctness fixes are included: lost or rejected chunks self-heal instead of leaving permanent holes, and the server pushes change notifications so distant terrain stays current after edits. ### Upgrade Notes - **Coming from v0.2.x** — Clients rebuild their local LOD cache once on first join (the cache format changed), so the first rejoin re-syncs from the server. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/commits/v0.5.0+mc1.21.11

### New Features - **Folia server support (experimental)** — The Paper plugin now runs on Folia's regionized threading, using the same single jar for Paper, Purpur, and Folia. Support is validated by an automated soak suite against a real Folia server; busy multi-region servers are still untested, so treat Folia support as experimental and please report any issues. ### Bug Fixes - **Piston and multi-block changes now refresh distant terrain on Paper** — Blocks pushed across a chunk border (and the second half of beds and doors) previously never marked the destination chunk as changed, leaving stale LODs until an unrelated edit touched the same chunk. (Paper/Folia) - **Oversized chunk columns can no longer disconnect players** — A chunk column large enough to exceed the network frame limit (possible with heavily modded chunks) is now skipped safely instead of killing the connection. - **Client no longer freezes on stuck cache storage** — `/lss clearcache` now waits at most 30 seconds for cache disk IO instead of hanging the game indefinitely when the config folder sits on a slow or disconnected drive. (Fabric client) ### Performance - **Faster timestamp-cache eviction** — Trimming the per-dimension chunk-freshness cache on large servers no longer stalls the tick when the cache hits its size limit. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.4.1...v0.5.0

### Bug Fixes - **Fixes blank chunks at the corners of your view on join** — The chunks just past the corners of your render distance could stay empty until you moved. LOD now fills exactly the area beyond what the game itself renders — matching the game's own rounded view edge instead of a square — so those corners are covered immediately on a fresh join. Affects render distances of 4 and above. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VoX/lod-server-support/compare/v0.4.0...v0.4.1

Paper & Purpur server support — LOD terrain streaming now works on Paper-based servers, not just Fabric, so you can see far-off terrain on a lot more servers. Fixes - No more permanent holes in distant terrain — far-away chunks that failed to load used to stay missing until you relogged. They now repair themselves automatically. - Edges of the world fill in — gaps next to ungenerated terrain no longer get stuck empty. - The End and void worlds work — fixed a crash and an endless loading loop in empty/void dimensions. - Big world changes show up — after large edits or explosions, distant terrain updates everywhere instead of only near you.
