High-performance per-player view distance for Paper/Folia with client-only ("fake") chunks. Made with Winter + Incendo Cloud and PacketEvents.
ExtendedHorizons manages each player's view distance individually, enforcing global and per-world limits. Chunks are sent to the client via packets, and when the target distance exceeds the configured fake-chunks-start-distance, “fake” client-only chunks are used. Once chunks are loaded on the client, they are discarded on the server, reducing server load and improving performance. PacketEvents is required for proper functionality, and the plugin is fully compatible with both Paper and Folia (1.21+).
