Precautions
This modpack includes "Distant Horizonz"(DH) to render that beautiful landscape of yours. Be advised, that this needs a bit of CPU power to cache and render chunks. So for every chunk you explore it will also make a smaller (LOD) copy. This might impact performance.
Also included is our favourite shader: "Complementary".
Both eye-candy additions are DISABLED by default, because I don't want to burn potatoes.
This modpack is still in testing. We are playing it to improve compability between mods. You feedback is welcome.
