    • "keep" - keeps the previous world in memory after rejoining a server
    • <distance in chunks> - sets the chunks to keep, recommened to be double your desired viewdistance
    • "-1" - Sets the distance to infinite, possibly usefull when commonly moving between locations that are very far every
    • Use /cfarview without options to disable / enable the feature

  • To load all areas just walk around

  • This feature does not affect server or network performance
