Distance Caps by Permission

View Distance Caps​

The VD cap permission node sets the maximum view distance a player can receive from any source — automatic policy, dynamic degradation or admin manual override at P6 or below. The plugin will never assign a VD above this cap to the player.

# Standard format (recommended)
auroraoptimizer.viewdistance.max.<N>

# Legacy formats (supported for backward compatibility)
auroraoptimizer.viewdistance.<N>
auroraoptimizer.vd.<N>

# N must be an integer from 2 to 32

# Assignment examples with LuckPerms
/lp group default permission set auroraoptimizer.viewdistance.max.6
/lp group vip     permission set auroraoptimizer.viewdistance.max.12
/lp group premium permission set auroraoptimizer.viewdistance.max.20

Simulation Distance Caps​

# Standard format (recommended)
auroraoptimizer.simdistance.max.<N>

# Legacy format
auroraoptimizer.sd.<N>

/lp group default permission set auroraoptimizer.simdistance.max.4
/lp group vip     permission set auroraoptimizer.simdistance.max.8
/lp group premium permission set auroraoptimizer.simdistance.max.12

Note: Simulation distance can never exceed view distance. If an SD cap would result in SD > VD, it is automatically clamped to the current effective VD.
