This mod fixes the issues introduced in 1.7.4 when render distance started to directly control how many chunks are loaded when previously the internal server always loaded chunks to a "view distance" of 10; they presumably did this to allow larger render distances to work (as in 1.6.4 "Far" is effectively only 10 chunks due to this), but without considering the impact of a bug that has plagued multiplayer servers for years. In this case, the minimum view distance is limited to 10 chunks, but can go higher, which is what they should have done.
Originally, this neat mod was made by The Master Caver, but it, unfortunately, is a jarmod, so one has to go though a lot of effort just to install it. I, however, ported it to forge, with full permission as said in https://i.imgur.com/WiCwxNZ.png and https://i.imgur.com/pQVSNKe.png.
F.A.Q
Q: When port to version x.x.x?
A: If you want to do it, go ahead, just credit me and The Master Caver.
Q: Modpacks?
A: Of course! No need to ask.
Q: There is a crash! / This mod doesn't work with X! / I found a bug!
A: You can always report it on the issue tracker and I'll try and take a look.
