ViewDistanceTweaks

ViewDistanceTweaks v2.9.0-BETA2

Dynamic view distance and simulation distance adjustment per world, driven by what your server can actually carry at that moment.

Follow-up to the 2.9.0-BETA subsystems. One new config option, requested by testers running only idle pre-generation / predictive pre-loading without wanting the plugin to touch view/sim distance at all.

Added

• adjustment-mode: off. Disables automatic sim/view distance management entirely — the world's current distance is left exactly as-is, and only /vdt simulationdistance//vdt viewdistance (temporary overrides) can still change it. Idle pre-generation, predictive pre-loading, AFK throttling, per-player fixed distances and MSPT tracking all keep working independently, since they never depended on the distance-management pipeline in the first place. Useful if you only want the pre-generation/pre-loading subsystems and nothing else.
• /vdt simulate reports off mode honestly — it does not compute a target it will never apply.

Dependencies

• Paper 1.21.x / 26.x — required
• PlaceholderAPI — optional
• EssentialsX — optional, only for AFK detection
