OptiView is a fork of SeeMore, and has inspiration from UndergroundViewDistance.<\/p>\n
OptiView’s main functionality is to set each individual players server-side view distance to their client-side render distance, which is settable by the server owner in the configs.<\/p>\n
This allows the server to more efficiently manage it’s resources, by allowing the player to set their render distance below the server’s default which would free up RAM.<\/p>\n
OptiView’s Secondary functionality is inspired by UndergroundViewDistance, If you tried to put SeeMore and UndergroundViewDistance together, Underground would forcibly set all players server-side view distance to the Server’s default, not something you want to see.<\/p>\n
The Secondary functionality activates when the individual player goes below a certain y-level height and sets the server-side view distance to a default of 6, and the simulation distance to a default of 4, which will then be set back to the settings that the player had their client-side render distance when they above a different y-level height.<\/p>\n
The Underground functionality can be turned off if you do not require it.<\/p>\n

# The delay (in ticks) before a player’s view distance is lowered after their client settings change.
\n# * This stops players overloading the server by constantly changing their view distance.

# Whether the plugin should log to the console when it changes a player’s view distance.
\nlog-changes: true<\/p>\n
# Additional view distance restriction applied underground.
\nunderground:
\n # Whether underground view distance capping is enabled.
\n enabled: true<\/p>\n
# The delay (in ticks) between checks for whether players are underground.
\n # Defaults to the same value as update-delay.
