Before 1.18 there was a rule for chunk loading distance that said "the chunk loading distance is equal to the view-distance" (you can read this Minecraft Wiki page at the section "player ticket").
The same is answered in this reddit question or this Stackoverflow question about chunk update radius
But since 1.18 there is a new config setting called "simulation-distance". I already know that this setting effects in what range entities and liquids will be loaded and calculated, so that is not the question.
But I wonder if or how this new setting affects the chunk loading distance.
e.g. if settings are:
view-distance=5
simulation-distance=10
What will be the chunk loading distance (will it be 5, 10 or something else)?
or with
view-distance=10
simulation-distance=5
The wiki about server.properties does yust say [more information needed]
for simulation distance.
