A 26.1.2 Greenfield Test of Voxy vs Distant Horizons
I haven't been into Minecraft much lately, but realized I have a decent computer and have been in awe of all the posts here of Voxy/Distant Horizons gameplay and wanted to share a test of my own.
The results may not be surprising, but any additional feedback would be cool as I'm sure I'm missing something somewhere.

Minecraft Info

8GB Allocated
Java Azul Zulu 25.0.3
Arguments (Of which I am naive to):
> -XX:+UseZGC -XX:+UseCompactObjectHeaders -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem -XX:+UseDynamicNumberOfGCThreads -XX:ZUncommitDelay=300
Both Instances Have:
- Sodium/Lithium
- C2ME
- Ferrite
- Newest version of Photon shaders (Medium preset)
- Stuttering, slow to load occasionally.
- Never crashes.
- Once you're in an area it runs well.
- Initial LODs were from the original generation, NOT Greenfield. I had to explore everything to overwrite these LODs. I found this the most interesting.
- Runs very smooth, considering. Flawless without shaders.
- Has crashed on me a couple times.
- Once after a longer play session.
- Another after teleporting around a couple of times (this was so bad I had to restart my computer).
- Never had wonky LODs.
TL;DR: For my setup, Distant Horizons is okay. Voxy is amazing. 10 year old me wouldn't have seen the light of day.
PLEASE let me know if I'm missing something. I haven't contributed in a while and feel like I am! Ask any question and I'll answer ASAP!
