Before the 1.21.90 and 1.21.92 updates, there was version 1.21.80. During 1.21.80 (3.12 for PlayStation 4 Edition) the max render distance for both Simple and Fancy graphics modes was either 20 or 24 chunks. I can’t remember the exact amount of chunks, but it was definitely more than what it is now. After update 1.21.90 and 1.21.92 (3.13 and 3.14 respectively for PS4), the render distance for both Simple and Fancy graphics modes was reduced to 16 chunks. I understand that the render distance for the Vibrant Visuals is maxed-out at 12 chunks, but I don’t understand why the other modes have been reduced if they are still the same. The render distance changes has made the fog issues frustrating for my city world that was designed to be viewed at 20/24 chunks. Can this render distances for the Simple and Fancy graphics modes be reverted back to the 1.21.80/3.12 levels?

I will try to send a video, yet before/after screenshots may help better. Attached are images before 1.21.90/1.21.92 and after
So these are four total photos. Two are taken from the sky looking down on my city; and the other two are taken on a hill facing my city’s skyline. The newer photos have more buildings on them, but both the new buildings and older ones are harder to see on basic/fancy mode after 1.21.90/1.21.92. The same buildings in the new photos existed right before the 1.21.90, and they were clearer, and you could see more buildings farther away. If you look at the 1.21.92 skyline photo, you can see the tall slender white and black highrise is no longer visible even though it’s still there. You can easily see it in the pre 1.21.90 photo. Does this make sense?
