Skyblock LOD

by steve6472

Skyblock LOD extends render distance with level-of-detail islands tailored to Hypixel Skyblock, so distant islands stay visible.

What it does

Skyblock LOD is a Fabric utility that renders level-of-detail versions of Hypixel Skyblock islands at distance. Other render distance extensions are described as failing with some issues on that server, which is why this mod was written for it. Players set a higher render distance to get the full benefit. Configuration of how each LOD appears per location is handled through Cloth Config. The mod is client-side only, and it requires Fabric API, Hypixel Mod API and Sodium.

Key features

  1. Island LOD rendering

    Distant Hypixel Skyblock islands are drawn as level-of-detail models, extending the visible area.

  2. Per-location settings

    Cloth Config lets players choose how different LODs show in each location of the island world.

  3. First-load pause

    New LOD islands can cause a brief lag the first time they appear, before they are cached for later views.

What the author says

A LOD (Level of Detail) mod made specifically for Hypixel Skyblock! Because other LOD or render distance extension mods either don't work at all or have some issues.
