Random Tick Distance Setting for Crop Growth and Other Farms

Ever wanted to have crops, tree farms, animals, and other growth needs around your base work at a slightly larger distance so you can build a bigger base?

This is an ask for devs to provide a setting in Java Edition at least that allows customization of the limited 128 block radius for crop growth and similar farm properties. Whether that's an expansion to a more base-flexible 256 or so blocks or another way to customize the limit.

Give the control as a command at least to server operators that have decent hardware that can handle such an increase in load.
