How to change the view distance on a Minecraft server

Last updated on Jul 29, 2024

Changing the view distance on a Minecraft server can significantly alleviate [lag-related](do me) issues users encounter. By reducing the view distance, the server's workload is lightened as it doesn't need to render as much terrain at once, resulting in smoother gameplay experiences for all players. This optimization enhances performance and ensures that the server can handle more significant numbers of concurrent players without compromising on stability.
