First off thank you so much for your reply! I love that you're here to help <3

the good news is the third-person perspective option worked, it's now unlimited, just like my disappointment in life!

The bad news is this is what happens when I sit down

it snaps back to the default max range of the shoulder surfing

efforts I've made to identify or fix this issue:
sitting on a horse or other entities will still allow for the max range

the chair being behind a wall is not what's causing this issue, I'm thinking perhaps it's another part of the config file I should change but have yet to figure out which one.

Thanks for the feedback i will look into it later today 😃. Please keep in mind to use the appropriate issue template next time you report an issue.

Valkyrien Skies sets the camera distance to excatly 15 blocks when you enter a ship. It's implemented in a way such that it overrides the complete camera positioning code when in a ship. I may be able to fix this with a workaround but that may take some time.

absolutely, let me know if you need me to buy you some lunch while you work <3 lol anything I can do to help!
