Now this is obviously a pretty ridiculous suggestion, and is probably not possible without a lot of things completely breaking. But who knows, it just might be possible. Bartek over at cubic chunks had a smidge of success with it, although it was only done as a one-off experiment and not as an actual mod meant to work, and there were many errors with chunk rendering and plenty of other stuff.

closing as the notice on this mod's read me has announced discontinuation for a while now - feel free to reopen in future if work starts again

This is probably not really a feasible idea without a significant amount of effort. That little bit of success that I had with it was an experiment I did in 1.12.2 forgedev environment and I had to create hundreds of lines of patches just to get this
