I wouldn't say that it has deeper worldgen, but because it replaces voxel terrain with a lower lod after a certain distance, the world has a feeling of massive scale. You can see a far away mountain range on the horizon and actually journey there, then glide down it to an even further sea. Afaik the new site2 system also shows lod levels for generated structures.


The world feels massive because it is actually: a medium-sized hill in Veloren is taller than the entire horizontal dimension in Minecraft.

I'm personally not fond of the (pretty crude) lod view, especially because of the moiré in it.


Edit: vertical obviously.


there's some mods that add lod to minecraft with some stunning results
