Distant Lands On vs Distant Lands Off

Roll over the image to load the comparison image.

More than half the world disappeared when we disabled distant lands but kept the view distance sliders at their maximum levels. If you disable distant lands, you might as well turn off a few other settings, as the world looks quite drab and lifeless without distant lands.

Without that remaining tree in the distance, you'd think we were looking at a vast ocean.

View Distance 50% vs View Distance 25%

Quarter-view distance chops away portions of the boat, and the world takes on an even murkier look. Try to keep your view distance settings maximized, unless you actually prefer wandering around in a fog-filled world.
