Amazing plugin, the long view distance and all the settings are perfect, I were able to adjust it so it fits what I need. Thank you for your work, keep it up! :)
This is by far the BEST plugin I have downloaded on 2022!
I found it by mistake looking for something else and decided to try it. This plugin gave new life to my server and puts to shame the built in optimizations by Paper loading chunks and its forks. Sorry!
This plugin should be part of Spigot/Paper. I had to go back to Waterfall proxy and I hate it, Velocity was giving way faster performance on my proxy. But once I installed the plugin on all back end servers and Waterfall on the proxy. It feels like my servers run faster than when I was using Velocity!
Please developer continue doing an awesome job with this plugin. I really praise the performance that this plugin gives to my servers. My default settings are as follow:
The plugin does exactly what it is supposed to do. The Discord server associated with the plugins of Xuan (the developer) is open and Xuan is reactive to solve issues.
Hey! All the time I see this message in the console when new players enter. Can this be fixed somehow?

I should say it is really awsome.
But it runs a little flaw everytime I shutdown ther server.
I am using paperMC1.18.1-165build, full version is [here](
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fcxC7dNCgJ/) . Please check
This is a high-quality plugin with so much utility for the servers which use this. While 1.18 has made world reloading even more strenuous on servers, this plugin (almost) flawlessly allows my players to see further with excellent performance.
I wish I could give this plugin 6 stars just for being what my server has needed.
Works flawlessly on Paper 1.18.1 :) It's way better than setting view distance lower than the new simulation distance as it doesn't keep the chunks loaded in RAM
Thank you!
Great plugin! One small question. When you do the command /viewdistance report player, what do the numbers mean? Are they in-game blocks, or bytes sent?
Developer sorted an xray issue I had, which I assumed was the an issue with the plugin, I was wrong. The plugin works great and I can't recommend it more to any server owner.
Prevention XRAY (Only chunk by this plugin)
paper core need to enable paper.yml anti-xray:
And, You did not seek any error report first, so this question will not be accepted
Version: 7.1.4
Been using this plugin to replace Paper's no-tick view distance as it's more performant and lighter on RAM.
So far my experience has been great with a view distance of 32, dev is very responsive to feedback and bug reports.
Decent plugin, does what it says on the tin and the handy permission system allows easier control to balance the load on server. Would recommend over Papers in-built implementation, not fully tested in a production environment and will post another review if necessary.
Dev is friendly, helpful and responds fast. Spent a while in discussion debugging an issue but I didn't get ignored at any point and he kept at it till the issue was resolved. Would recommend.
First things first: this is better than Papers no-tick view distance, because it doesn't require additional RAM when loading/displaying those far-away chunks. This is why you need THIS plugin, if you want to be on the efficient side of things.
Ever since 02/2020 I've been using XuanCats view-distance-enhancing plugin to massively increase the allowed view distance, even though the server only ticks a far lower amount of chunks - and people just love it. They're not used to being allowed to use those really high view distances. And when compared to things like Papers no-tick view distance, the chunks FartherViewDistance loads don't really need additional RAM. Just installed the version for 1.17, and it works flawlessly already. So in my opinion, this plugin is THE best way to achieve massive view distances. Even if this would cost something like $30, I'd buy it instantly, just because the author has been doing such a great job with it. Thank you for all the time you invested in this, XuanCat! <3

Good plugin, you can control the sight distance through the permission group.
