Minecraft Has Never Looked This Good
Today we’re going to be taking a look at what might just be the greatest leap I’ve ever seen for Minecraft graphics in fact there’s a solid chance that outside of say a pre-rendered cut scene you’ve never seen anything like This this is what an early access version of the distant mod is now capable of and people have been wanting this for years the ability to use shaders with Incredible render distances there’s been solid options in the past for example OptiFine allowed to run 64 Ender distance with shaders however
Doing so is kind of a GPU killer and newer mods like c2me along with sodium and Iris also allow you to do so with increased performance but the thing is 64 render distance still isn’t all that close to what distant Horizons is offering us I know it’s a crazy thing to
Say especially since most people don’t play anywhere near 64 rander distance but here’s a comparison against distant Horizons and you can see just how drastic the difference is and the thing is distant Horizons is making your game look like this at a very respectable frame rate granted I am playing the game
On a 4090 which is obviously helping but keep in mind I’m also recording at 4K resolution so there’s a solid chance your frame rate could end up higher than mine if you’re playing at a resolution like 1080p now distant horizons with this Shader already Shines on its own
But you can get even more out of it and that’s because some terrain generation Mods make it look absolutely incredible and normally might go to terrain gen mods include mods like teralith or Terra but I found that the most striking scenery with distant Horizons was actually provided by the tectonic mod
And I can explain why mods like teralith and especially Terra look really great at shorter render distances as the world details are very Compact and close together each section of terrain just doesn’t take up all that much space tectonic on the other hand it features a massive Grand open areas which at least
In my opinion it doesn’t work very well when playing at normal render distances like 16 most of the time you really aren’t going to see all that much of any anything and in my opinion the opposite effect actually takes place at higher render distances mods like Terra pretty
Much have too much detail when playing with distant Horizons as the very fine details just start to look strange in the distance and blur together in a way that’s not that interesting to look at I wouldn’t say it’s ugly or anything like that far from it I just don’t think it
Looks as good as tectonic does and obviously this is just my opinion it’s completely subjective but it’s just the way I see it and pretty much any type of World Generation works with distant Horizons including structure mods which are especially awesome to include honestly I mean the ability to spot
Locations from this far away gives the render distance an all new purpose and I think the mod when dungeons arise is a great way to show this off as the structures it provides are generally pretty huge usually I’m not one to actually use this mod as I find that
Massive structures just generally feel a little out of place but distant Horizons pretty much alleviates that entirely for me it does a great job of making it feel like these massive structures should be in your world overall I’m just so impressed with this mod it was already awesome before it supported shaders and
Now it’s just downright incredible right now as I mentioned before this is Early Access so only a few shaders are currently compatible at the moment so it’ll be really cool to see how this looks with other shaders in the future and honestly I think this is one of the
Most exciting mod features to be released in a very long time and anyway I hope you guys find this to be as exciting as I do let me know what you thought in the comments below and if you guys enjoyed this video be sure to leave

This may be the best Minecraft has ever looked using mods. It truly looks absolutely incredible! Enjoy!

If you want to use DH and Iris shaders together, please wait until the next stable release of both mods.
There are bugs with both and the install process isn't for the faint of heart.

Truly amazing work! How did you load all these chunks though? I imagine you used a mod for that as well?
Amazing IS literary another game, and one question what is the name of the song?
Blender but real minecraft
i cant join the iris shaders discord thru the link on their website, anyone else having this porblem?
Wait what the heck was that horse animation mod???
No just slap Nvidium in there and bam, unreasonable fps
Can someone say what's the music name please?
Is there a way you can have the terralith biomes with the scale and terrain of tectonic?
Modders (for (almost, sometimes) free): adds ability to render incredible distances with incredible terrain generations and visuals
Mojang (paid directly from microsoft): adds panda.
We've got the whole Gregorian monastery chanting about these better looking pixels lol
But seriously interesting stuff here
I have the exact skin that i made as u and i've nerver seen your videos what a coincidence. 😂
this looks better than real life
Love the selfie stick! 😂
Even if it’s a mod, Minecraft in general is such a beautiful game with amazing atmosphere but with mods, makes it better 😢
Hey can you tell me how to enable shader option with Distant Horizons? How did you do that? i tried everything of course with compatible shaders and ain't working :/
Nvidioum would help a lot.
Mojang finally hired this man 🙏
thank you
3:15 reminds me of rdr2
This plus vr would be nuts
Been trying to create a minecraft series with the level of visual fidelity and depth for about 1 1/2 years using the combination of DH, Iris and other mods, but it has always become a waiting game.
Probably should try again now that it seems the releases are a tiny bit more stable and compatible than before.
PLEASE REPLY TO THIS WHEN ITS OFFICIALLY OUT
Modder make the game better than Microsoft in many years
After Microsoft acquired Mojang, this is what should be achievable in vanilla minecraft. Mojang is incompetent, this is evident because minecraft does not have any form of LOD.
Please make another video when this all gets fully released!
how did you get it to generate so far
i like it, but kinda removes the minecraft-y feel. feels TOO much like a cinematic at one point, and it may be good for showcases, but probably not for normal playing
Can you share the settings you are using on the shaders and on the dh mod?
I'm interested on his config for the shaders/DH
alright bub. just because i have a gtx 2 and an intel i3 from 1999, but you dont have to rub it in 😭
I have never seen my GPU go from 0 to 100% so fast
Can't get this to work what versions of Sodium, Iris, and indium should I use?
Now play this with Lord of the rings mod and it's perfect!
I use a 4060ti. I wonder if I can run it at 144 or 240. My main monitor is 240.
Im running this on integrated
This is was I was waiting for, for years ! Impressive !
i wanna just use ur pc for 1 day..
Imagine if one day we play Minecraft like this on VR
Does anyone saw several scary looking face at the very beggining of the video..or just me??
Playing that in VR would be breathtaking
It's gorgeous.
