Render in 1.8 vs 1.16.5

[Nathanpls]

To the new mappers out there, I haven't seen any post like this so I just wanted to recommend using 1.16.5 for larger maps when taking screenshots for your submissions! What I have preveiwed under is a render from my insane map Notre Dame. This map was build over 1,5 plot and I struggled when trying to get the whole build in one picture. I recently found out though that 1.16.5 will increase the raduis on the render.

Have fun and I'm excited for all your new map submissions both new and already excisting mappers!

1.8.9

1.16.5

I would assume it is.. But I don’t know unfortunately

Neat didn't know about this

Must be because 1.16 keeps the chunks rendered client side only, while 1.8 only keeps the server view distance rendered

Hmm I wish, but turning your render distance up in 1.8 gives the same result.
