2D Chunks: UNLIMITED RENDER DISTANCE!!!!!

So I was watching this one youtube video by Toiu, and naturally I wanted to think of a solution to this problem.
I thought of how other games handle a similar problem to this. They use a LoD system, but I can imagine that wouldn't really easy to implement into minecraft. Who knows I could be wrong, even so this would be a grate first step!

So the Idea is simple, we need to find a way to compress a chunk down to 8 directional based images. They will load in behind the fully rendered chunks. And we can go even further! behind those 2D chunks we can have 2D regions!!!

Some other things that wouldn't be necessary but would make a grate addition to this would be a method of showing light sources (probably not real time for the sake of resources) and make it interact with the day-night cycle.
