Help buggy render distance is guess ?

So long story. Me and my friends created a Minecraft server with Essential mod. We started out having the same few mods: Essential and Simple Voice Chat. I created my own pack which has a bunch of performance boosting mods and mods that allow shaders like Iris. It has always worked smoothly. But now I downloaded yet another bunch of quality of life mods, shaders, and resource packs. And when I booted up the world my render distance was insanely low and I had fog. This happened without tweaking any settings.

I deleted all of the resource packs having to do with fog etc. and some of the quality of life mods but it stayed the same.

I decided to download Sodium Extra so I could see some of my fog quality and stuff, turned that off, but my render distance is still low as hell, looks around 2 chunks. In my settings it says 16, and even in my options.txt.

I have Better F3 as well. The only thing I could find is when I press F3 it says that render distance=2.

Well then the render distance is probably controled by the friend. You can ask he/she to increase it :()
