# View Distance Command
\nThis is a really simple client side mod that lets you change your minecraft view\/render distance with an in game command.<\/p>\n

## Important
\nThis mod **requires** the Fabric API <\/p>\n

If you want a view distance higher than the Minecraft limit of 32, or are playing on a server with a view distance cap, you can use a mod like Bobby to allow larger view distances!<\/p>\n

## Command Options
\n\/viewdistance set [distance] – Set your current render distance to [distance]
\n\/viewdistance get – Prints your current view distance in the chat
\n\/viewdistance help – Displays the help message (see the help message below!) <\/p>\n

> You can also use the alias `vd` in place of `viewdistance` in all commands!<\/p>\n

## Support
\nIf you encounter any issues, please join my development discord. I also welcome any suggestions for improving the mod!<\/p>\n

## Donation
\nThis mod is coded entirely on my free time so if you like it and want to help me out, consider supporting me!<\/p>\n
