Description
Render Distance Cycler
This mod is a version port of kryptonaught's mod, which had worked up until 1.21.5. The mod adds back F3 + F to increase and F3 + Shift + F to decrease your render distance in game. This was a vanilla feature, before it got removed in 22w12A.
As of version 2.0.0, you can also change your render distance via a command!
/renderDistance or /rd will give you the value of your current render distance.
/renderDistance <number> or /rd <number> will set your render distance to the provided value.
2 is the minimum value for this input.
If the specified value exceeds the maximum render distance, the highest possible value will be used.
To get a command with a similar function for versions prior to 1.21.6, the mods from either rinmav9055 or ExiledLizard635 can be used.
