github.com/Mapacheee/ExtendedHorizons @V3.1.4

What is ExtendedHorizons?

ExtendedHorizons is a high-performance view-distance extension plugin for modern Paper/Folia servers.
It renders distant terrain using optimized fake chunks and optional far-player sync, so players can see farther than vanilla without the usual server overhead.

Dependencies

• MapacheeeLib
• PlaceholderAPI (optional hook)
• FastAsyncWorldEdit (optional hook)

How to build

Build this project with this command:

./gradlew shadowJar

The artifact will be generated in build/libs/ExtendedHorizons-{version}.jar ready to use!

For developers

ExtendedHorizons is built entirely with WinterFramework (Guice), so you can inject its services directly or resolve them statically.

Add this to your plugin.yml or paper-plugin.yml:

depend:
  - ExtendedHorizons

Accessing Services

You can access services natively through the Guice Injector provided by WinterFramework:

import me.mapacheee.extendedhorizons.ExtendedHorizonsPlugin;
import me.mapacheee.extendedhorizons.config.ConfigFacade;
import me.mapacheee.extendedhorizons.fakechunks.session.SessionRegistry;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

ExtendedHorizonsPlugin eh = JavaPlugin.getPlugin(ExtendedHorizonsPlugin.class);

// Retrieve via standard Guice Injector:
SessionRegistry sessionRegistry = eh.getInjector().getInstance(SessionRegistry.class);

// Or via the static helper:
sessionRegistry = ExtendedHorizonsPlugin.getService(SessionRegistry.class);

What you can do through these services:

• Override view distance: Set a custom radius for specific players dynamically. java PlayerSession session = sessionRegistry.ensureFor(player, false); session.playerOverrideDistance(64); // See up to 64 fake chunks
• Reset view distance: Clear the custom override and allow the plugin to fall back to world-settings or permissions. java PlayerSession session = sessionRegistry.get(player.getUniqueId()); if (session != null) { session.resetPlayerOverrideDistance(); }
• Read configuration: Access world rules, safe factors, and far-player settings dynamically via configFacade.get().
• Track Far Players: ExtendedHorizons natively syncs far players. You can read the trackedFarPlayers() from a PlayerSession to see exactly which entities are being simulated locally.
