The render distance controls how many chunks of the world are visible at once. The fewer chunks that are included, the faster each frame can be rendered, resulting in higher frames per second (FPS). This also affects the render distance of foliage such as transparent leaves, crops and animated textures. Available in 2-10 sections on the slider, ranging from 5-96 chunks maximum (depending on the device). The most distant terrain is faded by Minecraft:fog, to avoid a sharp edge to the visible world.

This can be changed to any value in Minecraft:options.txt. Values below 8 chunks will result in chunks at higher distances not initially loading, but the chunks will not be unloaded until the distance is higher than 8 chunks. Values above 24 chunks will result in the game actually rendering this distance up to 128 chunks away from the player.
