Voxy Server Side
Render distant Voxy LODs on servers
About this Mod
Fabric and Paper/Purpur/Folia add-on for Voxy
This mod/plugin sends Level of Detail (LOD) data directly from your server to connected players, allowing Voxy to render distant terrain. This lets players log into a multiplayer server and instantly see fully rendered terrain stretching out for hundreds of chunks, entirely skipping the need to explore the map first. Distant player locations can also be rendered on version 0.11.0 or newer.

It is fully compatible with Fabric and Paper/Purpur/Folia environments. Just keep in mind that the Fabric version of the mod is always required on the client side, regardless of your server type.
ViaVersion/ViaBackwards is now supported on version 0.10.0 and newer!
Also introduced in 0.10.0+, LOD data is now stored in the world folder on servers, improving the performance of the mod significantly, however this comes at the cost of storage space on the server. This is enabled by default, unless upgrading from older versions of the mod.

Any Issues?
Firstly, please do not seek help from the creator of Voxy as this mod is not affiliated with cortex.
Ensure that you are running the latest version of Voxy and all dependencies on the client. Then ensure you are running the latest version of Voxy Server Side and all dependencies for your Minecraft version, on both the server and client!
Run /vss clearcache if you still have issues.
If you are still running into problems then it could likely be due to another mod. Try to run Voxy and Voxy Server Side (with dependiences) with no additional mods/shaders, if it works then you will have to find the other mod/shader that is incompatible.
