diesieben07, it doesn't happen on 1.10.2, I've just checked...
WitherDoggie, correct, I am on a server, although I have asked other players on that server and they are not experiencing a similar issue, they can change the render distance at will it seems.
What do you mean? There aren't really any logs involved, I don't have to do anything for it to be like this, unless there's something I don't know about that would help. I'm not very knowledgeable about these things, so sorry about that.
I have no idea if this is to do with the version of minecraft or forge that I use.

^ This shows how far the world loads. Doesn't load any further than that, and adjusting the render distance does nothing. I can move around and do whatever, the world loads etc, but never any further than that away from me.
Any ideas?
