[Bug]: [1.21.8] Waypoint Beacons Render On Top of Distant Horizons LODs

[EmiKasumi]

What happened?

Observed on Minecraft version 121.8 with Journeymap version 6.0.0-beta.53 and Distant Horizons v2.3.4-b.

Enabling "Ignore render distance" solves the vast majority of rendering issues, but even with it turned on some of the closer waypoint beacons still render on top of the Distant Horizons LODs. I couldn't find any combination of render settings in either mod that solved the issue.

That looks normal to me from the image. As not an issue with ignore render distance setting. The beacons look to be in the correct location from the image you provided.

Here's a top-down view for more context, showing the two highlighted orange waypoints from the initial screenshot. As you can see, the waypoints are actually beyond the mountain in the center of the screenshot. While the beacons are laterally located in the right place, they are visible below where they should be occluded by the terrain.

Here's an edit of the first screenshot showing the expected behavior. I have marked over the sections of the highlighted beacons that should not be visible in red. The blue and green beacons are significantly further away, with the rendering causing them to appear much closer than they actually are.

I doubt there is much I can do about that, but I can investigate I guess.

Appreciated - I'm not sure where the Distant Horizons LOD chunks fall in terms of render priority, but I would assume that that behavior is at the root of the problem. They don't appear to be handled the same way as regular chunks, causing elements intended to be layered behind them to appear on top. Might see if I can report this issue on their end as well, maybe they can provide more concrete information to work with.

Update: So far, the consensus seems to be that Distant Horizons LODs are rendered before vanilla chunks in order to prevent visual errors/clipping, so if JourneyMap beacons are rendered at the same time as vanilla chunks they'll naturally appear overlaid onto any DH terrain.
