Player View Distance Controller is a lightweight PaperMC plugin for managing how far each player can see on a Minecraft server. Administrators can set individual or global maximum distances, save them between sessions, and assign limits through LuckPerms permissions. The plugin also supports AFK restrictions, reducing unnecessary chunk activity when players are inactive.
For smoother performance, its dynamic mode can lower view distance as server MSPT rises, while ping based adjustments help players with slower connections. Support for GeyserMC, PlaceholderAPI, customizable messages, and console commands makes it flexible for modern communities. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for balancing visibility, control, and server performance.
