You may want to configure your Minecraft instance to use the ZGC garbage collector. The default Minecraft uses, G1GC, can cause lag spikes with Distant Horizons. To change it, find the launch arguments section for your launcher, and paste "-XX:+UseZGC". This should help eliminate some lag spikes when using DH.
Distantly Optimized is a modpack featuring Distant Horizions 3.0 and Iris, letting you see really, really far, as well as a few shaderpacks that support Distant Horizons, incredible worldgen powered by Tectonic, and some utility mods.
It is designed to be lightweight, work on any server, and update faster than anyone else.
Best part is, it works right out of the box! The only settings you need to worry about are in the main menu of Distant Horizon's settings, accessed by the button to the right of the FOV slider, in the options menu.
With the settings and specs listed below, I had a stable 70 FPS.
You actually dont need a powerful PC to run this, plus you can turn down Distant Horizons quality and render distance settings, as well as shaders.
Spoiler Settings and Specs **Distant Horizions Settings** Quality: High CPU Load: Balanced + thread tweaks LoD Render Distance: 300 **Minecraft settings:** Resoulution: 1920x1080 Shadow Distance: 12 Render Distance: 12 Simulation Distance: 5 **Shader:** Bliss **Specs:** 6800 MB RAM allocated Intel i5-9400F at 2.90 GHz Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti Windows 11 Extra Features **Tectonic**, the worldgen mod included in this modpack, adds amazing world generation to Minecraft, using only vanilla blocks. No extra setup required. To get a better view of your surroundings, press Z(rebindable as "Toggle Perspective"). Hold K and scroll to zoom out or in, and press Z twice to go back to normal view. Hold C and scroll to zoom in. To play with friends, pause the game and open a LAN world. Then look in chat for a IP you can give to your friends to join your world!Thanks to X0nk for adding Distant Horizions support to Bliss, one of my favorite shader packs! You can find the version included here, which supports Distant Horizons on his Github and CurseForge pages:

The 1.21 version sadly will not support shaders, due to weird version issues.

Removed CTMPOMFIX, as it is no longer allowed on Modrinth modpacks. In addition, all versions including Dervative have been removed to avoid copyright issues, and several mods have been updated.
Forge support will be added soon as well!
Finally, an apology. I havent updated the pack in 2 months, much too long without updating. Semi-regular updates will be coming very soon, like the aforementioned Forge support!
