Configure Render Distance on Your Server

Setting Server Render Distance

The View Distance Fix Mod works by synchronizing your client's view with the server's render distance setting. To configure this properly, you need to adjust the server's render distance value.

Steps

1. Open your server's server.properties file

2. Locate the view-distance property (default is usually 10)

3. Set it to your desired value—lower values reduce server load but limit how far players can see

4. Save the file and restart your server

5. Players will now see the synchronized render distance without fog cutting off their view abruptly

Understanding the Effect

Once configured, the mod removes the fog that normally appears at the edge of the server's render distance. This means if your server is set to render distance 8, players won't see an artificial fog wall at that boundary—they'll see a clearer transition. The mod doesn't let players see *beyond* the server's limit; it just makes what's within that limit more visible and less obscured by fog effects.

This is particularly useful on servers with limited resources that need to keep render distance low.
