TuinityPerPlayerViewDistance uses permissions to set per-player un-ticked view-distance that goes above the value configured in paper.yml and limits view distance based on player y-level

Features

• Permission based max un-ticked view distance
• Lists player send view distance and render distance
• Saves server resources for players that are underground with a configurable per-world view-distance limit for players below a configurable y-level
• This plugin ONLY modifies the no-tick-view-distance

How to use

• set permission vd.max.<vd> where <vd> is an integer range 4-32 setting the desired un-ticked view distance
• You can additionally use luckperms contexts to define this on a per-world and per-player basis.
  • ex: lp user permission set vd.max.16 world=world_the_end
• edit the config file to set limits on view distance for players below a certain y-level

Commands

• svd: lists the send-view-distance and the client-render-distance settings for each player. (permission: vd.admin)

#how often in seconds to check the permissions and locations of players

# - per-world settings - save server resources by not sending as many chunks to players that are
#   likely to be underground, not able to see very far anyways.
# - remove or comment out a world from this list to disable the feature for that world
# - remove or comment out the "worlds" section entirely to completely disable this feature
# - the worlds MUST MATCH your specific world names (not the dimension types). On PaperMC each
#   dimension has it's own folder, those folder names are the world names.
