The mod doesn't give me the option to turn render distance up past 32. Not sure if graphics card is relevant, but if it is, mine is an RTX 4090, and I use nvidium and sodium.

Yeah, same here. The slider is locked to 32. RTX 3060 here

Did you remember to change the maximum in the Bobby config menu first?

Did you forget to install Cloth Config API?

There is no config button available for me in the mod menu for some reason. I found the config file in .minecraft/config and did it manually to fix it and it worked.

The right version, yes. I installed neoforge by accident
