Dynamic View Mod is a small/light serverside utility mod to help to balance lag (tps) and chunk view/load distance. When the server is not lagging it increases the chunk view distance, once it goes over the given lag threshold it reduces the chunk view distance.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know Dynamic View Mod is actually working?

Watch your server's view distance in the server properties or via a command like /viewdistance while the server is under load — you should see it shrink when tick times rise and grow back when the server recovers. If the value never changes, check that the mod is loaded server-side and that your min and max view distances aren't set to the same number.

What does the average tick time setting actually control?

It sets the tick time the mod balances around — the target it tries to keep your server at. Since tick time maps directly to TPS (a full tick is 50 ms for 20 TPS), setting a lower average tick time means the mod will reduce view distance sooner to protect performance.

Why does my view distance keep bouncing up and down?

The mod is reacting to every tick time fluctuation, so if your server hovers right at the threshold it will constantly adjust. Raising the update frequency interval or setting a slightly more forgiving average tick time smooths out the oscillation.

Does Dynamic View Mod need to be installed on the client too?

No — it's a serverside-only mod, so vanilla and unmodded clients can connect without it. Installing it on the client does nothing currently, though the mod may add client features in the future.
