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. :p

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.
