Wont render past about 30 blocks

[Herrozerro]

Hello, I am having an issue with my rendering, and It seems to have started with version 1.4.7, I had just come from a direwolf20v4 with optifine B6 and it seemed to render well at far. Now with v5.0.1 and optifine C3, im lucky if things render within about 20-30 blocks, i can see entities like mobs or the crane of a quarry but blocks do not render until I am practically on top of them.

anyone else having those issues?

Edit: Here are some examples
Last version, as you can see I can see the objects quite far behind the structure

Now, here is the same structure moved closer to land.

The really obvious question to ask is: did your render distance get changed by accident in your options? The second screen looks like Tiny render distance.

Here are my settings, its still far

OK, now we play "guess which video setting isn't working right".

Try disabling Optifine's special chunk loading and set it to Default. Optifine's chunk loading has been prone to crash bugs and other stupidity alongside Forge ever since 1.4 came out and it's not showing any signs of being fixed yet either. That's my first guess.

I have messed around with everything with no luck, I have even tried removing optifine and still the same issue. oh well, i'll turn on fog or something so its not as annoying.

Have you tried turning off Better Skies? According to Spx, Better Skies can cause a lot of lag. Dunno if this affects this, but I imagine it makes rendering slower.

is that a mod? or a setting?

It's a setting in Optifine added in D1. If the problem persists with Optifine removed then it's not Better Skies.
