To fix this: go back to the default texture pack, close Minecraft, and delete the LOD data. This will clear the cached textures and the incorrectly generated fake chunks.

__A:__ You can enable multiverse support under the "Multiplayer" config tab by setting "Multi Dimension Required Similarity" to something higher than 0.0.

__A:__ That is intended behavior when using the default config in singleplayer. This is done to load in the distant terrain faster.

If you don't like the big blocks or they never increase in quality you can set the Generation Priority to "Near First" (note: this may cause pillars in the distance where the giant blocks were, this is also expected).

__A:__ Whenever you change your resource pack you have to reboot Minecraft for Distant Horizons to notice and any fake chunks you generated will need to be re-generated to use the new textures (these hurtles won't be a problem in the future). __A:__ Whenever you change your resource pack you have to reboot Minecraft for Distant Horizons to notice and any LOD chunks you generated will need to be re-generated to use the new textures (these hurtles won't be a problem in the future).
