It seems that it comes from Paper. We'll need to wait for an update.

Z750 (Paper Developer) :

It comes from paper
API isn’t in 1.14.x and requires a deeper understanding of Mojangs rewrite of the chunk system to implement
"Okay, thanks. Are you planning to get this API compatible with 1.14 ?"
It’s planned
There are no ETAs

[Ristovski]

Maybe implement a more graceful way that detects Paper on 1.14.3 and prevents calling those APIs? This spams the server log quite a lot.

I am aware this is an issue from Paper itself, but seeing how this won't be implemented anytime soon (by the looks of it), perhaps a workaround is in order.

@Kugge Just to confirm, does this mean that BestViewDistance is broken on 1.14.3?

The commit disables it, I assume this is because it has no benefit without the per-player view distance APIs?

I thought it still set the global server view distance based on TPS/ping etc.

[sofianedjerbi]

@Ristovski The API provided by paper allow BVD to change the view distance, and that API is broken on 1.14.X. BVD cannot change view distance at all so it's 100% useless on 1.14.X

[Ristovski]

I see, I thought some of the functionality (like global view distance based on TPS/etc) was still there. Good to know.

Any update about this topic?

[Patbox]

Something changed?

[Cretezy]

Where is this tracked upstream?

[SlickJava]

the re-implementation of the patch has reached a good point where we can start external testing PaperMC/Paper#2572

this implements per player view distance at the ticket level, allowing more functionality and allowing shared view distance.

[SlickJava]

any testing would be much appreciated, that way we can get merged faster :))

[sisa1917]

Managed to get it working, seems good so far!
Here is my modified plugin https://sc.azureedge.net/BestViewDistance-12.1-MAJN.jar

Will report if anything breaks :)
Thank you @SlickJava

[SlickJava]

just remember to keep the jar as updated as possible to the latest one on the PR (the latest one now built off of 209 with many fixes), other than that, happy testing

[nolsen42]

Running @SlickJava's patch + the latest paper version that I merged myself. The one huge problem I'm facing is my render distance is at 3, despite 20TPS. Not sure if this a bug, incompatibility, or misconfiguration.

[sisa1917]

Try running my patched version. This plugin will not work correctly in 1.14 without slight modifications.

[nolsen42]

@sisa1917 That's what I been running.

Interesting... Please add me on Discord Škýl#0001. I don't want to overly spam here (I will edit this comment with solution to this problem).

EDIT: figured out it was his Ping setting
