Currently, Minecraft suffers from slight depth buffer precision issues even with a render distance of 32 chunks, and these issues are exacerbated when using any kind of zooming or spy-glass like functionality. For mods like Nvidium, the problem is even more extreme due to the dramatically increased render distance.
This is because OpenGL is rather funny and uses clip-space of [-1, +1], which has historically been a problem. The ARB_clip_control extension (merged in OpenGL 4.5 Core) provides a way to re-configure the clip-space to something more reasonable, like [0, 1].
Open questions:
How does this affect Z-fighting with blocks such as Iron Bars? Maybe it could help. It does not.- Are other mods going to break if we enable it by default?
