Description

A lightweight server utility mod to help balancing lag(tps) and chunk view and simulation distance.
During server lag view distance and simulation distance get reduced.
This is the Forge version, for the Fabric version click here: Fabric
Checkout my new companion mod for more controlled chunkloading! limited chunkloading

- Min and Max Chunk view distance
- Min and Max Simulation distance
- Average tick time(TPS) to balance around
- Update frequency
This mod is only required on the server.
Average tick time config details:
The average tick time in the config allows you to determine the tps at which the distances get balanced around.
Tick time = <50 ms = 20 TPS, Tick time = 100 -> 10 TPS, tick time = 200 -> 5 TPS.
Version 1.18 Note: Vanilla changed behaviour of view distance changes, now they trigger a chunk reload on client-side. To avoid these I recommend using https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/farsight alongside this.
No known incompatibilities.
