What problem does View Distance Fix actually solve?

When your client's view distance is set higher than your server's render distance, the fog rendering gets messed up. This mod tricks your client into thinking it has the same view distance as the server, so the fog looks right.

Do I need to install this on my client or server?

Install it on the server side only. It's a server-side mod, so only the server needs it. Your players don't need to install anything.

What do I need to run this mod?

You need Fabric Modloader or Quilt Loader, plus Fabric API. Make sure you grab the right version for your Minecraft version.

Will this mod work with other mods?

Yeah, it should work fine with other mods. It's pretty lightweight and doesn't do anything crazy that would cause conflicts.

What Minecraft versions are supported?

It supports versions 1.19.2 through 1.20.6. Download the version that matches your server version.

What’s View Distance Fix Mod?

Ever played on a server where the fog looks all wrong even though your render distance is fine? That’s what happens when your client can see farther than the server lets it. View Distance Fix is a server-side Fabric mod that stops this from being an eyesore. It makes your client’s fog match what the server actually renders, so everything looks clean and consistent.

Why You Need This

On multiplayer servers, the admin sets a max view distance to save server resources. But if you’ve got your client set to render farther, your game gets confused. The fog starts at the wrong place, chunks appear and disappear weirdly, and it just looks broken. This mod fixes that by syncing everything up server-side. No more weird fog. No more visual glitches. Just a normal-looking world.

Features
