SeeMore

SeeMore is a simple plugin that sets each player's server-side view distance according to their client-side render distance. This results in more efficient use of server resources, by not unnecessarily loading chunks for players who use a low render distance.

Installation

To install the plugin, simply place the downloaded jar into your plugin directory. Be sure to configure the plugin by looking through its `config.yml`.

Configuration

config.yml

```yaml

Configuration for SeeMore.

Please don't change this!

version: 2

The delay (in ticks) before a player's view distance is lowered after their client settings change.

* This stops players overloading the server by constantly changing their view distance.

update-delay: 600

Whether the plugin should log to the console when it changes a player's view distance.

log-changes: true

These settings can be specified per world.

* Note: If a world is not listed here or if a setting is missing, it will use the settings listed under the default

section.

world-settings: default:

The maximum view distance a player in this world can have.

Set to -1 to use the server's configured view distance for this world.

maximum-view-distance: -1

```

Commands

To run the command `/seemore <subcommand>` the user will require `seemore.command.<subcommand>`.

- `/seemore reload` - Reload the plugin's configuration. - `/seemore average` - Get the effective average view distance of each world. - `/seemore players` - Show the server-side view distance of all online players.

Metrics

This plugin uses bStats to collect some (non-identifying) data about the servers running this plugin. You can opt-out by editing the `config.yml` in the bStats folder located within your server's plugin directory.
