\n– **No unnecessary**: The plugin is designed to be understandable for any player. It does not include unnecessary functions.
\n– **Global settings**: Ability to set a default render distance for all incoming players on the server.
\n– **Individual settings for each player**: Each player can change their own render distance.
\n– **Permissions for specific groups**: The plugin allows easy assignment of permissions to change render distance for each individual group (e.g., for groups in LuckPerms).
\n– **Saving individual settings**: Automatically saves and loads the player’s custom render distance upon leaving and joining the server.
\n– **Easy to configure**: The configuration does not contain excessive information and is easy to set up.<\/p>\n
