# 📋 Changelog v1.2.0 (Beta) ## ✨ What's New ### Dynamic Simulation Distance - Added **Simulation Distance** category with three smart control modes: `FPS`, `MS` (server tick), and `FPS+MS`. - Adjustable min/max simulation distance, cooldown ticks, and performance thresholds. - Automatically disables MS mode on external multiplayer servers to avoid unreliable adjustments. ### UI & Configuration Improvements - Merged Render Distance, FPS Control, and Cooldowns into a single category. - Two‑column layout on the Simulation Distance screen – all options visible at a glance. - Fixed slider text positioning (labels left, values right). - Visual warnings when config values conflict (min > max). ### Advanced Culling Adjustments - Disables horizontal culling at **Render Distance ≤ 4 chunks** – prevents black gaps when moving sideways. - Added **15% radius margin** to the culling ellipsoid – reduces chunk pop‑in. - Fog transitions now sync with culling profile changes – eliminates visual gaps when switching profiles. --- ## 🐞 Known Issues (current version) - **Visual holes** sometimes appear when moving or changing render distance, especially at low RD (2‑4 chunks). - **F3+A** (reload chunks) temporarily fixes the holes – a clear sign that the culling system and the render engine are not always synchronized. - **Horizontal culling** can be too aggressive on some setups, causing chunks to disappear earlier than expected. > *Why does this happen?* > The mod uses an ellipsoid (3D shape) to decide which chunks to render. > But the render engine (Embeddium/vanilla) doesn't always immediately update when the ellipsoid changes – so some chunks remain invisible even though they should be visible, or vice versa. --- ## 🛠️ What I'm working on (next fixes) - **Complete rework of the culling system** – moving from a complex ellipsoid with hysteresis to a simpler, more stable formula inspired by proven mods (like Better Render Distance). - **Better synchronization with Embeddium** – using the official `RenderSectionDistanceFilterEvent` API instead of fragile mixins, so the engine always knows when the culling shape changes. - **Removing the need for F3+A** – automatically notifying the renderer when render distance or culling parameters change, without full world reloads. - **Smoother vertical culling** – adding a small extra margin to the vertical axis to prevent holes when looking up/down. > *First version was buggy, I know.* > I'm learning and improving step by step. The next update will focus **100% on stability** – no new features until the culling system works flawlessly. --- ## 📌 Notes for testers - If you experience holes, please **share your render distance, vertical scale, and whether you use Embeddium**. - Temporary workaround: press **F3+A** to reload chunks. - Help me fix it faster – report issues on GitHub/GitLab. Thank you for your patience. ❤️
