Describe the feature

Allow changing the value for simulation distance within server.properties for 1.17+ servers

How the feature is useful

This is useful because it allows you to turn down the simulation render distance, which mostly for SMP servers, would make the server run much faster, and allow for larger render distances without much of a performance drop

Use 👍 and 👎 reactions to indicate you agree or disagree with this suggestion! Feel free to discuss the idea in the comments.

This should be possible in the physical server.properties file. It's not in the server settings page at the moment though. Maybe it's something we could add.

Everytime I edit it, it's overridden

Can you take a video reproducing this behavior - and before you do so try pressing save changes in the settings panel then changing it in the file. @ReportCardsMC if this is vanilla I believe that’s overridden.

is this vanilla or is it a global issue?

I'm running paper 1.18.1, I'll get a video of this when I'm home, during my test I ran a normal paper 1.18.1 server with no plugins other than viaversion (provided from minehut). And surely paper wouldn't override the simulation distance

Completely spaced out about this issue, I looked more into it. It seems that you can set simulation distance in server.properties, however it will replace that value if you set it while your server is online.
