Other Settings
The default option for each setting below is marked with bold text.
| Setting | Options | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Reveal Shape |
|
Whether to reveal chunks in a circle or square - circle reveals show fewer chunks at once, and so perform better |
| Render Delay | Range: 0 - 10 (in seconds, Default: 2) | How often JourneyMap should try to render the chunks around you - Higher values can result in better performance, but may result in chunks being missed when traveling at high speed |
| Cave Max Distance | Range: 0 - 32 (in chunks, Default: 0) | The maximum distance within which to attempt to render the map while in a cave - if you set this higher than your render distance, then this will use that instead |
| Surface Max Distance | Range: 0 - 32 (in chunks, default: 0) | The maximum distance within which to attempt to render the map while above ground -if you set this higher than your render distance, then this will use that instead |
