JodelleDynamicView

Lightweight paper plugin which automatically changes view and simulation distances based on your servers current TPS.

Whenever the server struggles and the TPS goes down, it will reduce the view/simulation distance to try and get it back up.

Features

• TPS based ajusting: Runs a check every 30 seconds (600 ticks) and adjusts distances dynamically across three performance levels.
• Sqlite logging: Saves performance info and world states into a local stats.db file (with built-in WAL mode and automatic 24-hour log cleanup to prevent database bloat).
• Command: Use /distcheck to check current TPS, player counts, and view/sim distances live.

Performance Levels

• High Performance (TPS >= 19.0): View 12 / Sim 8
• Balanced (18.0 <= TPS < 19.0): View 10 / Sim 6
• Low Performance (TPS < 18.0): View 8 / Sim 4

(All values are fully customizable in config.yml)

Commands & Permissions

• /distcheck — View current TPS, player count, and world view/sim distances.
  • Permission: jodelledynamicview.distcheck
