Generate LODs for a multiplayer server with Chunky
Hello,
I would like to understand something to generate a large LOD file and upload it for friends for our savior
My question is that on my multiplayer server, thanks to Chunky I generated 10,000 radius of chunk, after several hours it was obviously done but I think I did not understand the system
I'd just like to have a method that allows me to generate chunks and therefore LODs from Distant Horizon to obtain a file here “.minecraft/Distant_Horizons_server_data/SERVER_NAME/” which is meant to be large allowing me to offer players not to load the LODs themselves.
How do I do it? Without wandering/fly around the map for hours on end

You can copy the world to .minecraft/saves so you can open the world in singleplayer. Then turn up cpu load and wait. After it's done, move the singleplayer SQL file to the multiplayer folder and you should be done.

Oh okay, my bad i see
You can either install the mod in the server or wait for the paper plugin to be updated, another possible way is to download the server's world in your pc, increase your dh limit to the max and wait for the world to generate
my net just showed the messages, sorry lol
So I transferred my world to solo, I load the LODs but we agree that I'm forced to wander around the map for that?
no, you just turn up cpu load and wait
you dont have to move
Yes, but that's for loading the LOD Radius, isn't it? If I want to load a large part of my world, I'll have to move anyway?
My idea is to really load the surroundings of my world (even if the file becomes large) so that nobody has to load the LODs in the arounds
just increase the chunks you render
with dh to a large number
you can leave the pc sitting and generating chunks (and make sure to point three refrigerators at it)
Actually my DH settings (singleplayer) to load LOD
crop it to max
like, for the number
hold on, why is it limited now
I actually used Chunky to generate chunks on my server directly (multiplayer) with about 20,000 radius, now I've transferred the world to solo and I'm flying around the map to generate LODs
But yes, I don't understand how I can generate LODs without moving since I'm limited to one radius
If I'm not mistaken chunky has radius in block and DH in chunks
so 20,000 chunky blocks is 1,250 DH chunks,
and 4096 DH chunks is 65 536 chunky blocks
what has cuhnky to do?
are these mods related?
Chunky generates vanilla chunks in a given blocks radius
Yes, chunky is a mod
DH is an alias for Distant Horizons, which is also a mod
Why is chunky relevant
With dh
It is not relevant directly, but if someone was already using chunky for world pre-gen, they would probably want to have the lods pre-generated as well
Outside of that, Chunky increases overall time required to generate lods
So if you were not using chunky, don't use it
Arent lodi always pre generated
Once theyre loaded
Pre-genearation, means that you load chunks/lods before you start playing.
E.G. you make a new world in the evening, set huge DH RD, and go to sleep, so that in the morning everything is generated, and you don't lose preformance and fps, while moving in the world, everything just loads, and you don't need to generate the chunks while moving, so it is faster to travel
Of course if you just start playing everything will eventually generate and load
that is why not many people pregen for long amount of time
k
How big are lods btw?
Gbs
7 GB for over 2048 LOD RD
Don't know the exact number
@Yeshi (GMT+2) What is the radius of lods for the
.sqlite file you have for dowload for you server?Can I put them in a diff drive
I think 300 ish

- .minecraft/Distant_Horizons_server_data/SERVER_NAME/Extreme quality?
Quality doesn't affect size
k
only 300?
not possible
LODs are generated at the highest quality level and downsampled on demand
Ok
Idk I'd have to check
You should be able to create a symlink/shortcut
Or move your installation folder
