    Suggestion:

    Further Render Distance

    Reason:

    I think this would be a good addition because players are actually able to see structures in its entirety and not have it despawn in front of their eyes. I know that this will lag the server. Therefore, another idea I have would be to have this as a donation feature; I, for example, am willing to pay up to $150 to see my city, if I had the money. Less people with the ability to see further render distances will not really have that much of am impact on the server.

    Other Information:

    I have heard that this server only loads three chunks to either side of you.

    Pretty sure render distance is a server wide property. Meaning you can't just change it for individual people.

    No... Server render distance is how far you load chunks, in this case it's 5 chunks.
    Change it to 7 (default) and the chunk loading would increase by ~50%, thus making things laggier.

    For some reason mine keeps on fluxing around 18 to 45. Possible problem?
