I want to know if there is anyway I could set the distant horizons to prioritize fastly loading the chunks I'm going by, leaving a trail of LODS instead of a gap. like, I can see place I was standing by sticking out like a column. I don't want that.

I've thought about a mod idea for improving my own gameplay that would do the following: instead of having LODs or the such, have a moving sky box that is a world preview. as you move along, the image follows you as the center, just like travelling a seed finder or something similar. of course, the part of the map is unloaded where chunks are loaded in. and after a certain Y level it gets loaded, so you can climb to high places and take a look when searching for biomes or continents.

For me, this would be more atmospheric than having just a void at the edge of chunks, or having chunks that are loaded look like slices of cake from far away like LODs do, should be something not performance intensive and more ready to go, as it wouldn't need to be set up(like how you gotta start chunky and wait, to properly play with LODs).

of course, it wouldn't load volume, but would already give that feeling of looking at far away horizon, being in a vast world and looking further than the chunks you got.

I have no idea how hard to make would that be. or if it is even possible.

I've been looking into a couple generation mods, beside my default ones

Currently, and since a couple years, I use the continents mod and deeper oceans mod to enhance Minecraft nautical navigation.

Recently I tried lithosphere out but it works slow like a snail, I can't really explore with it.

I've also tried terralith, which works like a charm, loads fast, doesn't really make a difference in the speed of chunk generation, has pretty scenery but I've noticed there are no beaches and low flat terrain. its like everything ends on a cliff, no large beach terrain and the such.

Tectonic looks to have the same problem as terralith, no beaches or nice flat terrain, too much cliff.

Has anyone got recommendations on mods that would work with continents, or replace it, while having beautiful natural sceneries?

I saw that there is a mod with steel armor that is very aesthetically pleasing, but has no survival recipes and requires TFMG.

I wonder if there are any alternative add-ons to counter big cannons, or one that covers that as a side feature.

I want some suggestions of add-ons that help to make diverse terrain wandering mechas, or mechas in general too. I just want to have a mecha that can walk over general terrain.

Aeronautics physics is very "bumpy", I've tried using stickers before for the walk cycle, and I still am, but its quite glitchy, if it walks "too fast" the stickers get glued to the inside of blocks and so on.
