# Big changes compared to V4 for normal players:
* Completely new overworld design.
* Removed cliffs (mountains still exist, and they now have erosion).
* Removed waterfalls (lavafalls on volcanoes in islands worlds still exist).
* Not backwards-compatible with existing worlds.
* New LOD renderer.
* This lets you see farther without needing mods like Distant Horizons or Voxy.
* Works automatically in multiplayer as long as the server has the config option for them enabled.
* Does not render structures, features, or player-placed blocks.
* Only works in Big Globe worlds.
* Doesn't work with iris yet, though this is planned for the future.
* Distant Horizons and Voxy are still supported in case you prefer them, and my renderer can be disabled in the config file.
* Known issues:
* There are some seams between different levels of detail.
* Added a new "Soul Silverpetal" flower block.
* Found in the valley of souls.
* When made into suspicious stew, gives a new "soul siphon" status effect.
* This reduces your max health by 2 hearts per level.
# Big changes compared to V4 for data pack developers:
* Many column values have been moved, removed, or renamed.
* External data and images have been removed.
# Small changes compared to the previous beta:
* Vanilla sugar cane can now be placed on gravel.
* Sugar cane now spawns in rivers.
* The core now has random lava pockets that occasionally spill out into the open areas.
* Water in swamp biomes has been re-designed.
* Reduced the number of beehives in forests.
* You can now set a multiplier for how likely molten rock is to turn into ores in the config file.
* Back-ported pale netherrack to older MC versions even though it isn't used for worldgen there.
* Fixed soul lava not setting the player on fire.
* Stopped forcibly disabling cave culling for Distant Horizons integration.
* Added french translations provided by GlinglinMerguez.
