There's a client mod that works great in single player mode for those of us with overpowered PCs that can handle it: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1032&t=218642 However it doesn't work in multiplayer -- the server wont send any of the further away chunks.. So my request is a bukkit plugin that will allow users to view 'very far' render distance in multiplayer, by having the server send more chunks to the client.
Yeah, Try asking the bukkit team because it would have to be a bigger chunk load on the server... ________ EDIT ________ Just Thought you cant do this because of the Mod loader.... But a guys working on this look for "Pogic" In The Search Bar...
This would be an enormous change I think because many features are include in this distance and maybe the client would have o be changed (to actually request those chunks from the server).
I think there is a way to change the distance, at least there was a plugin which were able to set what chunks are in cache always loaded hmm keep on searching
