For me this bug has been fixed, I can configure up to 40 right in the settings.

Btw if you want to change the render distance, you need to find the right file in android file explorer or import these game files to your computer (iOS) using iTunes, change the number in the right file and put it back to your iOS device. Mine is right now 20.

When it rains, I can't even see around my house because this render is so low. Couldn't even see across a river in the rain to find my home!

I have to restart every now and then.. come on, fix it please!!

This is so annoying!

I own an iPhone 7 Plus, which ran 1.1 fine with render distance of 22 chunks. I'm now stuck with a maximum of 14 chunks.

For me it was even stranger, with 1.1.x my render distance (on an iPad Pro) was 22 chunks which worked fine, then after installing 1.2 yesterday the maximum was 14, and today it's only 6.

I would really like to have my 22 back again! Thanks!

Update: After restarting the App I was able to select 14 again, but not the previous 22.

I restarted my iPhone 7 3 times, but still no 14 chunks.

Comment by Jonathan Kirkland [ 20/Sep/17 ]

Oh awesome, thanks for figuring that out! Confirmed, after restarting my iPad, I too have access to the higher settings. Set it back to 14 like I had before and confirmed I can see far again.

EDIT: I restarted my iPhone 6S and now MCPE 1.2 allows me to choose upto 14 chunks again..
still think it’s a bug within MCPE itself.

Same on iPhone 6S! Render distance decreased from 14 chunks to just 6!!

FIX THIS PLS!!

Comment by Jonathan Kirkland [ 20/Sep/17 ]

Playing MCPE on the newly released iOS version on an iPad. Confirming that this went live (not beta) with 6 chunk max whereas I was using 14 with absolutely no issues before. The world is so much more claustrophobic now. Can we please allow a max higher than 6 again??

Comment by Siim Laasnurm [ 20/Sep/17 ]

Same here. I cant get it over 6 chunks. Please fix this issue.

Comment by WaddaKei [ 01/Aug/17 ]

Same issue. My render distance drop from 12 to 6 for no reason
