Dynamic Views

Dynamic View Distance

No more manually fiddling with your render distance. Dynamic View Distance monitors your framerate in real time and adjusts the view distance automatically — giving you the best possible view your PC can currently run smoothly.

How it works

The mod measures your FPS at regular intervals and compares it against two thresholds:

• FPS too low → render distance is decreased by one chunk until things run smoothly again.
• FPS high enough → render distance is increased by one chunk to show more of the world.
• FPS in the sweet spot → everything stays as it is.

This way the mod finds the optimal balance between view range and performance on its own — whether you're running across a simple plains biome or standing in a complex redstone base.

Features

• Automatic adjustment of render distance based on your current framerate
• Custom in-game settings menu — no Cloth Config or ModMenu required
• Freely configurable limits: minimum and maximum view distance, lower and upper FPS thresholds
• Cooldown system prevents the view distance from constantly flickering back and forth
• Adjustable check interval — how often your FPS is measured
• Settings are saved to a simple JSON file and persist across game sessions

How to use

Press V in-game to open the settings menu (the key can be rebound under Options → Controls). There you can adjust the following with sliders:
