So on both PoC and WoC, they have infamously had low render/view distances with a mandatory 2 render distance in WoC, and a range from 1-6 render distance on PoC, and on these games, it's often quite difficult to see much, especially if you make a large-scale project on the games.

My suggestion is to increase the maximum view distance options, the options for render distance 1-6 can still exist for low-end devices, and it's even alright if a low number remains the starting default option, but add the options for render distance values such as 10 chunks, 16 chunks, or 20 chunks (a similar render distance to MineCraft's), though probably cap out render distance values at around 25 or 30 chunks.

I'm aware that larger render distances can lag out lower-end devices, but there still would be options for lower render distances for them and the default render distance that you get after installing would be a low render distance value as well, so a player would have to intentionally increase their render distance themselves for the high number values to even start being a lag problem.

I'm also aware that there is likely a slightly higher chance that you might spot someone's base if your render distance is at a higher amount, but it wouldn't be any different than if you were on a Survival Multiplayer Server on MineCraft, since regular render distances on MineCraft are at render distance values much higher than PoC's, and many non-newbie PoC bases are typically underground anyways, so high render distance wouldn't be much of a problem there either.

This would be more of a quality of life improvement than anything.
