- Requires no high-end hardware to run efficiently
- Works seamlessly on Survival & Hardcore without enabling cheats
- User-Friendly GUI designed for effortless configuration
Features & Why Render Distance+ is Essential
To get the absolute most out of Voxy's rendering engine, users normally need to manually configure Chunky to pre-load chunks. Traditionally, this is a tedious and complex process involving multiple terminal commands, radius calculations, and constant server/world reloading.
Render Distance+ solves this problem entirely:
- 100% Automated Background Loading: The datapack dynamically handles all the heavy Chunky commands in the background while the player explores the world.
- Full Dimension Support: Works automatically across all vanilla dimensions (The Overworld, The Nether, and The End).
- In-Game Settings GUI: No need to edit config files. Change your generation speed, maximum target distance, and toggle features directly via an intuitive in-game interactive chat GUI.
