AdaptiveView
by TreSet
AdaptiveView is a server-side Fabric utility that lowers or raises a server's view and simulation distance while the server runs, based on tick time, memory use and the number of online players.
What it does
The mod watches live server measurements and changes the view distance and simulation distance to match. When tick time (MSPT), memory use or the count of online players crosses a threshold, the server adjusts its distances without a restart. Operators can keep the distances fixed through a locking system, and an automated release can return that lock to dynamic control once conditions allow it.
Most settings are controlled by a configuration file with many options, and in-game commands let server staff change the same behavior while the server is running. The mod depends on Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, across 29 release versions 1.19 – 26.3, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Performance-based adjustment
View and simulation distance change according to measured tick time, so heavy load lowers the work the server must do.
Player and memory triggers
The number of online players and current memory use can also drive the distance changes.
Distance locking
A locking system holds the view distance at a chosen value, which suits contraptions that depend on a fixed distance.
Automated release
A lock can be released automatically, so the distance returns to dynamic control without manual steps.
In-game commands
Staff can change thresholds and settings with commands during play, without editing the configuration file.

Questions
Does AdaptiveView need Fabric API?
Does a player need the mod to join a server running AdaptiveView?
Can distances be fixed so they do not change?
