A request to add an option to the config to adjust the render distance for chains. I personally enjoy using Block Entity Extended Rendering and thought it might be nice if I could also extend the range at which chains render. This might also help some who have similar issues as mentioned in #22, without having to impact those who do not wish to see an increase in range.

The value I set it to was pretty short yes. How about the default, which is 5 chunks?
I cannot make the mod you provided work with this mod since that mod works with block-entities. The chain is not a block-entity.

Oh, sorry about my wording, I was more so making a relation to how I have enjoyed extending the render distance of block entities and thought that having a similar config option for increasing the render distance dynamically would be nice I wasn't intending to say that I wanted to use Block Entity Extended Rendering to accomplish this. I think 5 chunks is a very reasonable setting; however, I am also of the opinion that it would be nice to allow the user the option to change that value if they desire larger render distance. Thank you for responding and for all the work you have done on this great mod so far.

I don't plan to close the issue, myself, at this time since I feel like I hadn't explained the Feature Request/Suggestion correctly in my original comment.

I'd also very much like this feature, as I'm trying to view my build from more than an inch away and the chains just all vanish 😅

v2.4.0 has increased the view distance to be equal to how far you can see chests.
I hope this suffices.
