I dont know what the fuss is about really. Increasing the distance from 6 to 7 would increase the lag of the server noticeably, and most people wouldn't even notice/care that they can see a grand total of 16 blocks farther. Currently, the render distance is 6 (96 blocks). By changing it to 7, you would be able to see 122 blocks, which is only a 15% increase. For the cost of this, the server would be loading an extra 24 chunks (65,565x24 blocks). Is the lag worth it?
