## What it is
A Minecraft Forge mod that adds a Level-of-Detail (LoD) terrain renderer, enabling render distances of hundreds of thousands to millions of blocks. It is compatible with Cubic Chunks and is explicitly a work in progress.

## Use cases
- see terrain from millions of blocks away in minecraft
- increase minecraft render distance far beyond vanilla limits
- render distant terrain with LOD in minecraft 1.12.2
- use cubic chunks with a far render distance
- view the far plane in minecraft without fog

## When to choose
- you play Minecraft 1.12.2 with Forge and want extreme render distances
- you use Cubic Chunks/Cubic World Gen and want distant terrain visible
- you can tolerate a WIP mod with possible bugs

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, bug-free experience
- you play a Minecraft version other than 1.12.2
- you need guaranteed compatibility with many other mods
