PlayerViewDistance 2.0.0

PlayerViewDistance 2.0.0

PlayerViewDistance 2 is a correctness and performance rewrite for Fabric dedicated servers.

The mod now represents nearby players as an exact union of shared square loading sources instead of issuing a ticket for every chunk. A single coalescing planner performs geometry, overlap reduction, diffing, prioritization, and adaptive-governor work off-thread. The server thread only captures primitive state, retires stale sources, and applies budgeted Minecraft ticket mutations.

Vanilla simulation behavior is preserved independently of client view distance: simulation-distance controls ticking coverage, while each client receives terrain up to its clamped personal distance. PVD's private tickets are loading-only and never remove forced, portal, spawn, simulation, or another mod's tickets.

This release adds transactional schema 2 configuration, atomic persistent UUID overrides, /pvd status, C2ME no-tick and VMP adapters, and compatibility with common optimization and chunk-loading mods.
