In this guide we’ll be covering how you can increase the view distance for your Hytale server. The view distance is one largest factor for RAM/Memory consumption on your server. We recommend the view distance be set to 12 chucks which is the default for the best visuals and performance. 

Changing the frequency

  1. Open your Dashboard.

  2. Locate your Hytale server and click on the Panel button.

  3. Once on your panel, Stop the server using the button in the upper left corner of the panel before proceeding. 

  4. Once the server is stopped, click on Game Settings on the left-hand sidebar of the panel.

You have now changed the View distance for your server! 

Conclusion

You now have your server at your desired view distance. While this may improve visuals it can cause a large increase in how much RAM you may need for your server to have it run smoothly!
