After some calculations I concluded our server cloud had some power to spare. Thus I increased our view distance. You can now see 43% longer than before. We were previously running with view distance 7. Now we are running with view distance 10.

The screenshots below look that good because I used Optifine + the official MassiveCraft resource pack. You should too!

Before – view distance 7

renderdistance-seven

Now – view distance 10

renderdistance-ten

    added a remove lag machine plugin… worked out we had more calculation space…. spends it on view distance… really, because theres nothing better to spend it on that view distance….

      That is correct. There is nothing better to spend it on than viewing distance. We already have 800 player slots and 20TPS.

    Can you tell us what render distance we would need to experience the new render distance?Since it used to be short+48 and I know a few people on here don’t have good computers and would like to know. Thanks ;)
