LOD Server Support
A multiplayer mod that lets Voxy clients view distant server terrain without exploring it first, with far-away players represented in LOD terrain.
The work behind the result
The challenge, the implementation approach, and the parts of the system that are useful to inspect in more detail.
Large multiplayer worlds are usually hidden beyond a player’s normal render distance, and joining late can mean exploring just to populate distant terrain.
The mod streams distant terrain to compatible clients and includes Far Players, which shows distant players with name tags, equipment, and mounts. The README documents Fabric, NeoForge, and Paper server support, plus an optional Xaero World Map bridge.
