I’ve noticed that sometimes while playing Minecraft on Xbox One and the render distance will get capped at 18 chunks. It should be able to go up to 22 chucks but it won’t allow this. The same issue occurs on my new Xbox One X which only allows me to set the render distance to 22 considering all the extra power it has!
