Render Distance changes the number of Chunks that are visible from a distance at once. The option has a range of settings which depend on the device used. The minimum (across devices) are 6 chunks, and maximum of 96 chunks. The range is most likely related to the memory available to the device when the game is started.
What render distance should I use?
1 Answer. Minecraft mostly uses a single core of the CPU for chunk rendering. More then twice the ram as the game is going to use is too much, but 12GB seems appropriate for this distance. More then that tends to make the game run slower regardless due to garbage collection.
How does Minecraft render so many blocks?
2 Answers. The bulk of Minecraft’s chunk rendering goes through a vertex array. The world is split into 16x16x16-block render-chunks (which currently happen to be the same as storage-chunks, but it wasn’t always that way). It uses OpenGL display lists (one per render-chunk) as an older alternative to VBOs.

What is the default render distance?
The default render distance (of tiles etc.) is the Fog Clip Distance. Usually people leave this at around 45M which is the default range dynamic placeables pop into life. Render distance of tiles and static placeables: Fog Clip Distance (example below would be 45M or 4.5 tiles) Render distance of non-static placeables and doors: 45M.
What is the Max view distance in Minecraft?
The value they talk about – 3 to 15 – is the view-distance attribute. This means that the number of chunks said is loaded around the player at any given moment. Just to answer that 32 view distance question, a believe Minecraft will send you the view distance to be 15, instead of 32, because 15 is the max value.
