Increase the render distance in wild back to the default number of 12 chunks.
It is a bit annoying that we are not able to see beyond 6 chunks unless it was already loaded causing multiple near misses on end islands while flying with an Elytra. Hitting any of these islands or other structure blocks in the process won't kill you but instead, will keep you inside them for eternity unless you remove your Elytra which is not really an ideal fix considering you'd be falling to your death unless you can react swiftly. We used to have the 12 chunk render distance about a year ago but for some reason, it was changed to 6 chunks.
