Per block entity type render distance

[wiidotmom]

It would be great to be able to configure the render distance individually for each block entity type (either hardcoded for vanilla block entities, or dynamically using block ids)

I could be wrong, but I can't think of too many situations where this is really useful? When would someone want to individually control different render distances for different block entities? Especially when considering that whatever performance gained that way would be almost nothing compared to using something like FoundationGames' mod Enhanced Block Entities.

Unless there's some situation I'm just not thinking of?

Sorry, I should've specified my use case -- I use EBE, but I disabled EBE's shulker box replacement for compatibility with Peek by henkelmax.
