Description
Vertigo improves client performance with worldgen mods such as Big Globe by only syncing vertical chunk sections close to the player. The server sends air in place of the remaining sections, which creates holes in Voxy's LODs.
Vertigo exposes an API to query whether or not a specific player knows about a specific chunk section. Voxy could use that API to avoid rebuilding LODs in such sections to avoid creating those holes.

Research direction
Start by locating Voxy's LOD rebuild path and the integration point for Vertigo's API, which reports whether a player knows a chunk section. Confirm how unknown sections are currently handled and compare the resulting LODs with the issue's examples. Done means unknown sections are not rebuilt into holes while Vertigo and worldgen-mod combinations remain supported.
