Get a Player's view distance

How can i get a Player's view distance?
Thank you for your help!

 

I'm decently sure that is client-sided.

 

The_Doctor_123 You are correct, it is impossible to get a players view distance because it is client side.

PVP9dc You might be able to get the max distance a player can see via a server with the view-distance from the server.properties

 

I saw it a while ago on a server!

If you're trying to get a packet (not send one), I don't think this can be done with just the Bukkit API; however, there is a plugin/API called ProtocolLib that allows you to intercept packets whenever they're received. Looking into that might be what you're looking for.
