i think sot should add a setting that is called Eye sight, here you have a bar that you can choose from 100m( this is for people that have a potato PC or for pirates that want to do challenges) all the way up to 5 miles.
The eye sight works like: everything inside it is clear but outside it it looks foggy and you don't see anything. this means that inside this chunk everything is loaded but outside nothing loads(so the lower you have it the more fps you get)( the higher you put it the more vRAM you need) .
I have a friend that when he is inside the storm he crashes, so this setting will help people with bad PC.
Also for people with a 4090 maybe add a graphics setting called glorious(better than mythical) and add detail to treasures, clouds, buildings, ships(sails, the wood,...), the grass, trees, texture to animals...
Texture upgrade
@finnyyapper7735 render distance has nothing to with the servers.
@cianela99 from a balance perspective this will never happen, also this game is not minecraft and doesn’t work with a chunk system its a distance and LoD thing
