Description
Request distance (in chunks) is a option that changes a variable in ClientInformation which is render distance that send to the server
thus, server may send chunk information beyond the client render distance
however, voxy can still use the information to ingest into LOD and display them though vanilla clients shouldn't render them
with this, client won't need very high render distance and get better performance while look farther.
I don't know whether it's possible or not. And I'm not familliar with rendering, but maybe this can be useful to low-performance PC?

Research direction
Start by tracing ClientInformation and how render distance is sent to the server. Determine whether requesting chunks beyond the client render distance is feasible and how Voxy could ingest them into LOD while vanilla rendering remains unchanged. Done means the feasibility and required scope are established.
