Pack setup

How should I set up Distantly Optimized for players and a server?

Use Distantly Optimized v7.1 for NeoForge 26.1.2 as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.

A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.

These numbers come from the pack file you chose. “Not labelled” means we don’t know which side it belongs on—not that it is safe everywhere. The file count is not a RAM estimate.

What are the server requirements for Distantly Optimized?

Distantly Optimized v7.1 for NeoForge 26.1.2. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

15 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Distantly Optimized v7.1 for NeoForge 26.1.2. That file is for Minecraft 26.1.2 with NeoForge 26.1.2.76. It contains 15 mod projects. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.

About this project

What kind of pack is Distantly Optimized?

Updated to 26.1.2!

Hey!

You may want to configure your Minecraft instance to use the ZGC garbage collector. The default Minecraft uses, G1GC, can cause lag spikes with Distant Horizons. To change it, find the launch arguments section for your launcher, and paste "-XX:+UseZGC". This should help eliminate some lag spikes when using DH.

Distantly Optimized is a modpack featuring Distant Horizions 3.0 and Iris, letting you see really, really far, as well as a few shaderpacks that support Distant Horizons, incredible worldgen powered by Tectonic, and some utility mods.

It is designed to be lightweight, work on any server, and update faster than anyone else.

Best part is, it works right out of the box! The only settings you need to worry about are in the main menu of Distant Horizon's settings, accessed by the button to the right of the FOV slider, in the options menu.

What about framerate?

With the settings and specs listed below, I had a stable 70 FPS.

You actually dont need a powerful PC to run this, plus you can turn down Distant Horizons quality and render distance settings, as well as shaders.

To get a better view of your surroundings, press Z(rebindable as "Toggle Perspective"). Hold K and scroll to zoom out or in, and press Z twice to go back to normal view.

Hold C and scroll to zoom in.

To play with friends, pause the game and open a LAN world. Then look in chat for a IP you can give to your friends to join your world!

Thanks to X0nk for adding Distant Horizions support to Bliss, one of my favorite shader packs! You can find the version included here, which supports Distant Horizons on his Github and CurseForge pages:
