Is it possible to increase the draw distance to more than 15 chunks in Spigot?

I want to increase the draw distance in Minecraft beyond 15 chunks. A wiki page lists 15 as the max, but I'm wondering whether this has changed and is now possible?

All the solutions I find are obsolete or don't really work.

I want to be able to see far away the horizon and make the world look much more alive!

Solution 1:

It's possible with Spigot!

First, turns out the doc is deprecated, some people had arguments on this old post and it seems like an update at some point permitted up to 32 chunks.

One caveat is that if you are using gameserver.com, they are limiting the view distance to 15 chunks in the config file, which is why it wasn't working in the first place as it was being overridden. I found a glitch however and if you set the draw distance to 0 in gameserver's config file then set it to 32 in spigot.yml, it will work!
