The render/view distance will not increase past 10 chunks in a realm. In single player/local world it's fine... but whenever I join a realm the render distance will not increase past 10 chunks. I see that there are a couple other posts about this issue from months ago, both of which are Unassigned.. which I'm guessing means no one is working on them so I figured I'd make a new report. Please fix this.

I'm playing on Windows 10 (Bedrock Edition) 1.2.10 and in the Setting>Video menu, the render distance goes up to 30 chunks, however no more than 10 chunks will render.
On one of the tickets, it says the problem was resolved, but it wasn't... at least not for me.
Thank you 🙂

These are the two I've already seen. [REALMS-340] is already resolved as "Working as intended", as the maximum render distance on Realms can't be more than 16 chunks, even if you have it set higher in your local settings.

It won't render past 10 chunks though, so it isn't working as intended. If you like, I can make a video and show you 🙂
Also, why can't realms render up to 30 like it says in the menu on windows?

In your case it's not, that's true. In your description you said that people have already reported this issue, but it looks like nobody's having the 10 chunk limitation.
If you can attach additional data, a few screenshots showing the chunk updates should be enough.
Regarding your question: I suppose the render distance is limited to 16 chunks due to server capacity.

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been closed as Working as Intended.
For performance reasons the render distance is limited on Realms, and is likely to be lower than your own device can handle as a maximum.

Please reopen and consider it a feature-request. This should be configurable per realm.

how is this "working as intended" this isnt an xbox its a pc. besides if the client is having a frame drop them just let them change the render distance on the client-side not server side. Is it that hard or is it setup where such a thing is not possible?

https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360018959372-Realms-Render-Distance-Bedrock- is the link for the feedback site suggestion to make the render distance of the Bedrock Realms go higher. Everybody annoyed at this please go upvote...

"Working as intended" In other words "Microsoft is telling you to pay them premium rates to have trash"
I found two tickets with similar issues:
[REALMS-340] and [REALMS-654], both of which are not the same as the one you reported though.
Maybe I didn't get the right ones, could you link me to the reports you meant?
