OmniGen
by ZAurel360
OmniGen is a NeoForge optimization mod for 1.21.1 that renders distant terrain as a voxel horizon while the server keeps generating only the chunks players actually load.
What it does
OmniGen draws the world beyond normal view distance as a voxel horizon, so mountains, oceans, forests and player builds stay visible far past the point where vanilla rendering stops. It uses real server data for buildings, roads and terraforming, so the horizon shows what players have changed rather than raw terrain alone. Level-of-detail tiers reduce precision gradually with distance, and the fog is calibrated to the horizon actually drawn so the terrain blends into the sky.
The server remains the source of truth. Results sent by a client are checked before they are accepted, and generation falls back silently to vanilla if a client is slow or fails. Distant generation is triggered only under measured overload and not during normal operation. The mod is client and server, so both sides need it, and it is released under the MIT License but is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the latest being 0.3.37.24 from 2026-09-25 on the beta channel. Iris Shaders, Miniature Shader and Sodium are optional, and the shader setup is tuned to work with them together.
Key features
Voxel distant horizon
Terrain, water and player constructions render far beyond normal view distance as a voxel map.
Automatic render distance
The mod searches for the range the player's machine can sustain and keeps the horizon within it.
Server data overlay
Buildings, roads and terraforming from the server appear on the horizon, not only the raw relief.
Overload-triggered generation
Distant generation activates only under measured server overload, so normal play is unchanged.

Shader packs
A modpack with Sodium, Iris and Miniature Shader can include OmniGen, since the three are already tuned together.
Who it’s for: Server owners running NeoForge 1.21.1 who want less generation load, and players who want a wider view of the terrain on the same server.
