# Extended View Distance<\/p>\n

## Description<\/p>\n

This plugin enables the dynamic adjustment of player view distances on your server.
\nIt accomplishes this by modifying the server’s view distance to match the largest of either the server’s default setting or the individual player’s configured view distance.
\nThis flexibility ensures an optimal viewing experience for all players on your server.<\/p>\n

– The effective view distance of the client will not exceed this value
\n – Client < Server = Server
\n – Client < Extend = Client
\n – Client > Extend = Extend<\/p>\n
