View Distance Fix - Fog Problem Solution

This server-side mod for Fabric addresses a common issue that occurs when the render distance on the client and server doesn't match. When a player sets a higher view distance on their client than what the server settings allow, unwanted fog appears, limiting visibility.

The mod works by tricking the client - it makes the game client believe that the server is using the same render distance as the client itself. This completely eliminates the visual artifact in the form of fog.

Visual Comparisons

Without the mod
