About this Mod
⚠️WARNING: Distant Horizons or voxy and Sodium MUST be installed on the Client! ⚠️
Separate Sable Render Distance
SSRD is a mod that allows players to see Sable physics objects further than the vanilla render distance. If you're building planes, cars, or ships using Create: Aeronautics alongside Distant Horizons, this mod is basically a necessity (especially in multiplayer).
Configuration
The slider to change the Sub-Level Render Distance is located in the Sodium video settings menu, right under the normal Simulation Distance slider. The maximum distance allowed dynamically updates to match your Distant Horizons distance or the server's set maximum.
Force Loading
As of 2.0.1, Sable has its own method of forceloading, /sable forceload @, which requires op. SSRD's forceloading has been overhauled to be a much more server-friendly method of forceloading. /ssrd forceload does not require the player to have op, but does adhere to the forceloading cap, which can be changed with /gamerule ssrdForceLoadLimit (Default 10)
Known Issues
- Partial Shader Support: Sub-levels can be seen through LODs when certain Iris shader packs are active.
