Is pre-generating chunks actually nessecary?

We have a 30k x 30k worldborder and at roughly 50-60cps it's saying it's going to take 150+ hours. Is this something that is actually nessecary to prevent lag?

yes generation is very heavy up the worker threads in paper config what chunky command did you run? 30k by 30k is also huge

What does this do? Went to the main world, set radius to 30k, then started chunky.

make it the same amount of threads that you have. and restart.

Gotcha. So with a i7-4790K, that's 8 threads with 4 cores, so I can set it to 8?

Most likely will struggle with that But for small servers, you won't need a vps, game servers are just as good, lmk how much cps you get now with 8 threads

[20:54:53 INFO]: [Chunky] World changed to playworld. [20:55:05 INFO]: [Chunky] Radius changed to 15000. Then do /chunky start?

like 2k+ cps lol welp It's now slowing to like 80 I think it was where the ones that were pre-genned were loading maybe? It's like a 12-13 hour eta which is doable I assume.
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk6mo ago
yes
MrDadone
MrDadone6mo ago
give it 10minutes, or more, it will start generating new ones
DrewIT
DrewITOP6mo ago
So, with the setup I have now, I was hoping for around 20-30 online before I even look at upgrading, do you think that's doable?
MrDadone
MrDadone6mo ago
i don't think it's worth having a vps for 20-30 players
DrewIT
DrewITOP6mo ago
I have a dedicated server
MrDadone
MrDadone6mo ago
My bad but even worst xD
DrewIT
DrewITOP6mo ago
How so?
MrDadone
MrDadone6mo ago
Dedis are good when you require high amount of resouces, but 20-30 players is nothing
DrewIT
DrewITOP6mo ago
I'm a bit confused. These are my specs Intel i7-4790k 32GB DDR3 Memory 48gb SSD 1Gbps Uplink
MrDadone
MrDadone6mo ago
Ita?
DrewIT
DrewITOP6mo ago
Is that good for 20-30 or not?
MrDadone
MrDadone6mo ago
Ehh i mean it might? I never tested such a old cpu for minecraft xD All i'm saying is that usually it's a waste of money, as dedis are useful only when you go on the 100 players, 20-30 can run without any issues on game servers

Are you talking about shared hosting?
MrDadone
MrDadone6mo ago
Pretty much

MrDadone6mo ago
