Server LOD generation without players
I'm using Distant Horizons 2.1.3a Nightly build serverside branch on a Fabric server with 1.21 Minecraft version
I've got a dedicated server set up and I wonder if I can generate LODs directly on the server passively (without player)
Right now the LODs generate only if at least one player is on the server, it is seen with:
As soon as the player leaves the server
DistantHorizons.sqlite-wal size stops growing.
Moreover, it doesn't seem to merge with the DistantHorizons.sqlite: the DistantHorizons.sqlite-wal is just discarded at server stop and DistantHorizons.sqlite size is unchanged
It happens in both cases if the player has Distant Generation enabled and disabled (or no DH at all)
The mods in use:

im not sure about the sqlite-wal thingy, but i can tell you it is indeed currently not possible to generate LODs without any players online, as the server only generates chunks that are requested by the client
The wal file contains unsaved data that SQLite is currently processing. Once it’s done processing or has reached a certain size it’s saved to the main sqlite file.
That being said the main file size may not change if the processed data just contains updates to existing data.
