About PorkStudios/FarPlaneTwo
FarPlaneTwo is a Minecraft Forge mod for version 1.12.2 that implements a level-of-detail terrain renderer to enable render distances of millions of blocks, far exceeding vanilla Minecraft's standard limits. The mod was inspired by CWGFarPlaneView, an addon for Cubic Chunks that renders sea-level terrain, and aims to provide similar extended visibility with greater functionality and compatibility.
The mod is designed with ambitious performance goals, targeting render distances of at least 100,000 blocks while limiting performance impact to no more than 25 percent on integrated graphics hardware. It uses aggressive optimization techniques, including off-heap memory for the client-side render tree that determines which terrain tiles to display each frame. FarPlaneTwo is compatible with Cubic Chunks and Cubic World Gen, which enable custom cubic worlds and work best alongside the mod.
The project remains a work in progress with the author explicitly warning that features may not function correctly. Installation requires Minecraft Forge, the ForgeRocks dependency, and either the Mixin compatibility mod or Cubic Chunks (which bundles Mixin). The developers maintain a FAQ and active Discord community for support and have stated that additional Minecraft versions will be supported in the future.
