# How to Change the View Distance for Your Hytale Server

Learn how to change your Hytale servers view distance. 

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](https://app.nodecraft.com/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.

5. Once on the settings page you will want to click on the **Advanced** tab.
6. On the Advanced tab you will see **View Distance Radius.**

7. You can then use the slider, Enter or use the **+/-** buttons to set your desired View** **Distance** **Radius.
8. Once set, click **Submit**
9. Start your server.

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!
