Distant Horizons server plugin complete generation?
I'm running the DHS plugin (DHS-0-1.8.1_for_MC-1.21.4 or DHS-0.9.0-SNAPSHOT_for_MC-1.21.4) on my paper server. There are no console commands as far as I understand it but the console continually logs lines such as,
[DHS] Generation in progress: 21 processed, 1 in queue, 0.32 per second. about every minute. I assume this is related to pregeneration. The associated data.sqlite file is around 1.3GB and doesn't appear to be growing.
Is there any way to determine if/when the pregeneration (assuming that is what this is) will be complete? I currently have bluemap disabled and want to wait until it is safe to re-enable this once DHS is complete doing it's thing.
FWIW, my distant horizons client doesn't appear to be giving messages anymore about generation after I left it logged-in for several hours which makes me think that the client-side work is complete.

the client requests the chunks. the server generates the requested chunks and sends that to the client. so if the client was done, the server would be done as well
does the message reappear if you rejoin?
the message appears continually regardless is someone is joined or not,
oh, i dont know about that then
maybe jckf does
server CPU is idle-levels which makes me think it's not really doing anything. I'm not as worried about the log messages but really just want to figure out when it's safe to turn bluemap back on
Those messages also appear when LOD updates are triggered
Like for water/lava flow, endermen grief, and so on
If you've generated what you need to generate and would like to turn off those messages, there's a toggle in the config to disable them
Thanks, @Jckf - based on this I'm going to make the assumption that everything that needed to be generated (either via the plugin pregeneration assuming that is even a thing? or the client requests which appears to be completed), is generated in this case.
The plugin will only generate LODs for areas that have been requested by clients. If an update is triggered in an area where the is no LOD, you will get a warning about deletion failure (I'm going to remove this one, as it can get quite spammy)
A command to pre-generate a given area is on the roadmap
Out of curiosity: How did you find version 0.8.1? The plugin doesn't check for updates itself, and I don't really announce the updates anywhere.
I was poking around the gitlab site looking for a nightly or recent release, I think it downloaded via here: https://gitlab.com/distant-horizons-team/distant-horizons-server-plugin/-/releases

Add support for Distant Horizons to your Bukkit server.
Alright :)
Thanks for reading the wiki btw
Both BlueMap and DHS will continue working just fine together, but it'll create a whole bunch of extra load on your server
