    This is about as simple as the title. I just hope I'm using the right vocabulary.
    Can they remove the set render distance (I think that right now is eight chunks)?
    When my wifi is slow or I am traveling fast, I often find myself at the very edge of the rendered map. I want to be able to see way in front of me.
    I know that you can customize your view distance (Move the 'fog' closer or farther) but this makes me feel cramped and like it is always stormy in Wynncraft. Wynncraft has so many massive builds and sets of scenery that we often don't get to appreciate. Sometimes, if I want to be able to see far to get an epic screenshot, I'll spend half an hour running around the map loading in all the parts of the background I need and then going to take the photo. I was taking a photo from the top of the Temple of Legends, and had to run around loading in Troms and the Troms Jungle. I want to be able to appreciate all that Wynncraft has to offer, but with the set Render Distance, you just can't do that. Since it would be individualized, this would not cause lag for everyone on the server.
    The Server boasts one of the largest custom maps in minecraft, but I often find I can't appreciate all the work the build team has done.

    you can change ur own render distance under video settings (different than view distance)(honestly idk wut that even is but i think we're talking about different things lol)
    if something isnt loading properly thats just cuz ur wifi is bad and theres nothing the server can do about it

    I do believe he means the servers set render distance.
    I do not think the servers set it at 8, but how it works is that servers often set a render distance cap automatically to all players to stop lag. For example, this way someone wouldn't load 20 chunks of the jungle around them, that would cause more lag / money. Instead they would limit it to like 16 or the average playable amount to save money and lag and such.


    I dont think the servers is as low as this
    Doing this also might screw a few cmd / quest things although I doubt.

    I may be wrong
    probably am

    You should understand, that the size of the map doesn't come without a cost. With up to a hundred people supported per single world, the server cannot handle a higher render distances without causing extreme lag and crashes. Besides, the entire game has been designed around the set view distance. Last time we upgraded it by a single chunk more, plenty of unwanted areas became visible on offmap areas which the game relies on, and servers were much more likely to crash before other large lag factors were fixed
