server size increasing while pre-generating
is it normal for the file size of a server to increase massively while pregenerating chunks? and will the amount of storage it takes up go down when the process is finished?

your generated chunks need to be stored somewhere
file size will not go down
maybe its cached chunks
i was thinking
Well, you're pregenerating
yeah
so im wondering when the generation ends, if the storage will get even larger or stay the same
or if will even shrink
it wont shrink
and yes after pregeneration it will get larger (probably not by much if u pregen all the way to worldborder)
(only talking about world folder here)
entities storage usage will continue to grow
This question is a bit strange. You're generating chunks, they have to be stored somewhere, right ?
It's like having a image folder on your computer. If you put more images in the folder, it will increase in size.
yep, it increases exponentially, if that's what you wonder. Basically speaking, if you're loading a 10k radius area, you'll have to load a 200k blocks area, with a single block of height... so imagine
