⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️
This mod requires Fabric API.
Due to vanilla limitations, you must install Bobby, in order to set render distances past 12 chunks with the command.
Mod Description
Ever just wanted to set your render distance instantly from chat? Then you came to the right place!
Render Distance Command (also published on Curseforge) is a client-sided Minecraft mod for the Fabric Loader, that adds the /renderdistance command, which sets your current render distance to what ever you want (2 chunks min, 128 chunks max). Here's an example command for setting your render distance to 20 chunks:
/renderdistance 20
Also, as of v1.0.1 of the mod, there is a new command that allows you to see the currently set render distance. Here's how you would type it in in chat to get your current render distance:
/getcurrentrenderdistance
