Voxy Auto LOD
by Fizable
Voxy Auto LOD generates level-of-detail terrain for areas beyond the normal render distance, so distant land appears without flying through it first.
What it does
Voxy renders the world far beyond the default render distance, and this add-on feeds it level-of-detail data for chunks the player has never walked through. Terrain is recorded from chunks as they load, so a player who joins sees distant land at once. The mod activates on its own once installed, and no configuration is needed to start.
Generation runs in the background and follows loaded chunks, including those loaded by the Chunky pregenerator. It works in singleplayer worlds and on dedicated servers. A server running it lets connected clients benefit from pregeneration, even in areas they have not visited. Installation needs NeoForge 1.21.1 on the client, server or both, with the Voxy fork, Sodium and Forgified Fabric API placed in the mods folder.
Voxy Auto LOD is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its files target 1.21.1 only, and the mod is built on an unofficial Voxy port for NeoForge by j-shelfwood. Only the client needs Voxy and Sodium, while Chunky is optional.
Key features
Automatic distant terrain
Level-of-detail terrain is produced for distant chunks without the player walking or flying across them.
Background generation
Data is generated while the player moves normally, using whatever chunks the game has already loaded.
Chunky integration
Chunks loaded by the Chunky pregenerator also feed the terrain data, so a pregenerated world displays far terrain at once.
Server pregeneration
On a server, connected players see distant terrain as soon as they join, including areas no one has visited.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who use Voxy and want distant terrain to appear without exploring every area first. The mod suits worlds pregenerated with Chunky and servers that want a shared view of distant land.
How it compares
Voxy Server Side runs on Fabric and NeoForge, is client and server, and is open source under the MIT License for 1.21.1 – 26.3. Roxy is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it adds nothing to the server. Voxy Auto LOD differs in that either side can run it and neither needs it, with the same MIT License and no open source claim.

What the author says
Automatically generates distant terrain LODs (Levels of Detail) for Voxy without requiring you to fly through every chunk. Voxy renders your world far beyond the normal render distance, but by default it can only build that distant view AFTER a player physically visits each chunk. This mod fixes that: it hooks into…
