GLRenderDistance

# It lets you increase the render distance to 1000.
# 🚀 GLRenderDistance

**⚠️ ALPHA VERSION NOTICE:** This mod is currently in its Alpha stage. It is extremely resource-heavy and requires Sodium to function.

**GLRenderDistance** is an optimization expansion designed to break past Minecraft’s default render distance constraints. This mod allows you to scale your render distance seamlessly up to **1000 chunks**.

## ✨ Features
* **Massive Horizon:** Unlock your slider and push your render distance limits higher than ever before.
* **Stable Framework:** Engineered to maintain high frame rates even when rendering expansive landscapes.

## 🛑 Critical Requirements & Dependencies
To ensure game stability and prevent crashes, this mod strictly requires the following setup:

* **Sodium (Required):** This mod is built to work directly on top of Sodium’s modern rendering engine. It will not function without it.
* **RAM Allocation:** Loading massive render distances heavily impacts your system memory. You **MUST** allocate at least **6GB to 8GB of RAM** in your Minecraft launcher settings (JVM Arguments: `-Xmx6G` or `-Xmx8G`) to prevent Java from freezing or running out of memory.

## ⚙️ Configuration & Recommendations
* **Start Small:** When launching for the first time, gradually increase your chunks (e.g., test at 64, then 100) to find the perfect balance for your graphics card.
* **Performance Target:** Proven to achieve smooth performance (70+ FPS at 100 chunks) on optimized hardware setups.
