I also know that FarPlaneTwo is supposed to do something similar, but I'm sure I didn't test that.

Trying to increase the client side render distance since the server's render distance is low
Pretty much, trying to find a mod like Bobby or FarPlaneTwo, but for 1.18. Neither of those are compatible with 1.18 so does anyone know anything similar to those? Thanks!
-
Are these specs enough for modded minecraft?
I've found that chunk render distance has a very large impact on fps. If you play on 1.18, setting the simulation distance down allows you to play at 32 render distance fine. If you play earlier versions, mods like Distant Horizons, Bobby, C2ME, or FarPlaneTwo are quite useful.
