IMPORTANT

This modpack needs _Java 25_.

• Modpack Settings > Sync overrides > Custom Java installation (enable) > Choose your Java 25 path.

Why Java 25? The chunk mod _Concurrent Chunk Management Engine_ requires it to function correctly.
If you don’t have _Java 25_ installed disable C2ME or install it:
Modrinth Settings > Java installations > Java 25 location > Install recommended. Then copy _Java 25_ installation path and paste it at the modpack settings.

• Also enable Custom Java arguments (Modpack Settings > Sync overrides > Custom Java arguments) and write this: -XX:+UseZGC

Why the argument? By default Java uses the G1 garbage collector, which Distant Horizons flags with a warning about possible FPS stuttering. Switching to ZGC removes that warning and gives smoother performance at high render distances.

Purpose

This modpack was created to capture nature inside Minecraft. From the fauna wandering through the world to the most unique biomes you can explore. To achieve this, the pack combines a massive worldgen, extra wildlife and plant life, and dozens of small immersive details so every screenshot feels alive.

Camera mod: _Exposure_

This modpack’s core immersive feature is _Exposure_, a full analog photography system. Load a film roll into the camera, look through the viewfinder to frame your shot. While looking through the viewfinder, sneak to adjust focal length, shutter speed, flash mode and composition guides. Once a roll is fully exposed, develop it and print your photographs.
_Polaroid_ support is included as an extension for quick, instant-style photos.

World generation

_Terralith_ completely reworks Overworld biome generation, adding dozens of new biomes and landmarks, while _Incendium_ and _Nullscape_ do the same for the Nether and the End.
Structures got a full overhaul too. The _Yung’s Better_ series redesigns dungeons, mineshafts, strongholds, ocean monuments and temples, _Structory_ and _Structory Towers_ add new ruins and towers to explore, and _Tectonic_ makes mountains and cliffs feel dramatically more vertical and realistic.

Fauna and flora

The world is far from empty, _Naturalist_ and _Ecologics_ round out vanilla biomes with new critters, fish and small wildlife, while _Critters and Companions_ adds even more tiny creatures and companions to keep you company. _MoAnimals_ contributes a handful of new, detailed animals with their own behaviors and drops. On the plant side, _[Let’s Do] BloomingNature_ expands the overworld with richer plant life and handcrafted sub-biomes, adding small environmental details that make every region feel more alive.

Enhanced visuals and animations

_Fresh Animations_ and _FM: Player Extension_ overhaul vanilla mob and player animations from the ground up, making movement feel smoother and more natural. _Subtle Effects_ and _Visuality_ add small environmental touches, particles, weather details and little visual flourishes. That make the world feel more dynamic without getting in the way. _Fabric Seasons_ brings changing seasons to the world, while _Immersive Weathering_ adds slow, natural touches like moss growth, icicles and eroded stone that make the terrain feel like it’s actually aging. On the water, _Wakes_ adds realistic ripples and trails behind boats and swimming entities. On the audio side, _AmbientSounds_, _Sound Physics Remastered_ and _Presence Footsteps_ bring realistic ambience, echo and footstep sounds that change depending on where you are and what’s around you. _Distant Horizons_ extends the render distance far beyond vanilla limits, so the new biomes and landmarks stay visible on the horizon instead of fading into fog. Finally, the _Photon_ shader ties everything together with realistic lighting, shadows and reflections that make every corner worth a screenshot.
