About

SeeMore is a simple Paper plugin that sets a player's server-side view distance according to their client-side render distance.

Tyr Edit: I've added code to act like UndergroundViewDistance, Because of they're incompatibilities, if you had both of them on your server, UndergroundViewDistance would overwrite SeeMore and set everyones view distance to the default of the server, disregarding SeeMores settings entirely. So I added that to this.

Configuration

# Configuration for SeeMore.

# Please don't change this!
version: 3

# 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

# Additional view distance restriction applied underground.
underground:
  # Whether underground view distance capping is enabled.
  enabled: true

  # The delay (in ticks) between checks for whether players are underground.
  # Defaults to the same value as update-delay.
  update-delay: 600

  # Apply the underground cap when a player goes below this Y level.
  underground-y: 0.0

  # Remove the underground cap when a player goes above this Y level.
  surface-y: 20.0

  # The maximum view distance allowed while underground.
  # Set to -1 to disable the cap without disabling underground checks.
  maximum-view-distance: 6

  # The simulation distance to apply while underground.
  # Set to -1 to use the world's configured simulation distance.
  simulation-distance: 4

# 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
