Description
Shortsight Chunk Saver is a small client-side Forge mod that applies a view distance preset to your video settings. The first time you start the game with the mod installed, it changes the settings listed below, saves them, and then switches itself off so it never touches your options again.
## What it changes (once)
- Render distance: 8 chunks
- Simulation distance: 6 chunks
- Entity distance: 75%
## What it does NOT do
This mod does not rewrite the renderer, does not add mixins, and does not optimize chunk rendering or entity code. It does exactly what you could do by hand in the Video Settings menu, just in one step. For deeper gains on weak hardware, use it together with a dedicated rendering optimization mod. Results depend on your PC; do not expect miracles.
## Config
A client config file (shortsight-client.toml) contains one option, applyOncePreset. After the first launch it is set to false. Set it back to true if you want the preset to be applied again at the next start. You can always change any video setting yourself afterwards.
