RENDER DISTANCE

Please increase render distance capabilities on Xbox. I have an Xbox Series X and the render distance caps at 24 chunks! Not happy at all.

    Please increase the render distance for next gen, especially with the caves and cliffs update coming... we can even see a whole mountain! I’m hoping this game will be optimized for series x/s and it’ll be improved greatly

    I think they did it because chunk loading was too slow to fly elytra with big render distances. I used to be able to set it to 32 chunks on xbox one s. I didn't mind waiting for them to load so I could see my world. I wish the would let you set to whatever you want based on how you play. It's so frustrating trying to make cool builds and not be able to see the whole thing. They're alienating the players who are most likely to contribute cool content. Dev team needs to prioritize performance tuning at times and not just be all out focused on new features all the time. I haven't been able to get a series x but knowing that it caps at 24 I wouldn't spend the money even if I could get one for retail price.

    It won't get fixed for the next 3 years. A lot of the suggestions people made 3 years ago are here now, like the caves and cliffs update. All of the suggestions that are being looks over by Mojang are three years old, with very few being 2 years old. It'll be a long wait for sure! I'm really starting to form a hatred for Mojang, first this and then the realm world uploading or replacing feature has been broken for a year, Meanwhile there focused on candles and axolotls that don't do a thing.

    PE doesn't have a cap of 4, it varies depending on your device.

    With the power of the the PS5 and Xbox series X they should actually be able to go out to 64 (with it being the furthest and most stable at 48 chunks)

    I have a laptop from 2016 with a 1060 in it and it can render up to 128 chunks before I run into lag, meanwhile the series X which is supposed to be next-gen can only render 24 chucks. Yeah, someone didn’t do their job.

    I feel like render distance shouldn't cap at all based on device, I play on mobile and after caves and cliffs the render distance cap was decreased from 32 chunks to 9 chunks (even if each chunk is roughly twice as large now, that math still doesn't make sense), and the game is much harder to play now because I can barely see. It would make more sense if the render distance cap was the same on all devices, but came with a warning for putting it over the recommended settings.
