Simulation Distance variable -e flag

[finndo77]

I have not been able to set the simulation distance in server.properties via
-e SIMULATION_DISTANCE=
or
-e CFG_SIMULATION_DISTANCE=

is this something that you need to add? it is a parity add from bedrock, it is called TICK_DISTANCE on the minecraft-bedrock-server documentation.

this was added to java in snapshot 21w38a
https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-21w38a

this is the startup script i am using if needed, everything is working except simulation distance (I put each entry on a separate line, because it was hard to read in the narrow columns on github)

#! /bin/bash
echo "starting up Snapshot server"

docker run -d
-e INIT_MEMORY=1G
-e MAX_MEMORY=4G
-e PVP=TRUE
-e SPAWN_PROTECTION=30
-e ENABLE_COMMAND_BLOCK=false
-e VIEW_DISTANCE=7
-e SIMULATION_DISTANCE=3
-e NETWORK_COMPRESSION_THRESHOLD=256
-e USE_AIKAR_FLAGS=true
-e LEVEL=snapshot2
-e DIFFICULTY=hard
-e SEED="-2446887223678575115"
-e EULA=TRUE
-e MAX_WORLD_SIZE=90000
-e PLAYER_IDLE_TIMEOUT=180
-e FORCE_GAMEMODE=TRUE
-e SERVER_NAME=snapshot2
-e VERSION=snapshot
-p 45578:25565
-e ENABLE_AUTOPAUSE=FALSE
-v /mnt/minecraft-1/snapshot2:/data
-v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
--name mc-snapshot2
itzg/minecraft-server:java16 
exit

I know they added that in the latest snapshot and I can see it in the client settings, but I'm not yet finding a definitive confirmation of the server property. Can you point me to that?

"A new simulation-distance property in dedicated server properties."

I see "simulation-distance=10" in my server.properties using 21w39a.

Thanks! For some reason my eyes had skipped over that part of the article.

The latest image now maps that server property.

Looks like it's working for me. I tried changing it a couple times with OVERRIDE_SERVER_PROPERTIES set to true and it works. Thanks for all the work you've put into this project!
