Big map
Hello, I plan on creating a survival gamemode that requires a large map. (150k x 150k), and I was wondering if it is still recommended to pregenerate the chunks, because the world folder will instantly be huge. Or is it in this case better to not pregen? Thanks in advance!
And how much storage would I need for such a map?

I pre-generated a 10k x 10k world last week - I think it wasn't far off 50 GB.
Uh 1.21 was for 100k radius around 1-1.1 tb
75k is probably around 600-800?
Would still very much do it
just have to remember that it's exponential, so if we say 10k x 10k is 23gb, then 20k x 20k is 74gb, then 40k x 40k is 277gb and so on...
Is there any way to optimize to use the least amount of storage possible?
paper lets you change the compression, but idk what has the best compression format is
https://docs.papermc.io/paper/reference/global-configuration#unsupported_settings_compression_format
why not just pregen up to about 10kx10k, so that it will usually only be 1-2 players at a time generating new chunks? Most people tend to stay within 10kx10k most of the time, so as to be close to others or spawn camp people or whatever.
Not in this gamemode tho, it’s a survival gamemode where pvp and destroying is heavily endorsed so players will tend to spread out as much as possible.
Yeah I get that, but if you pregen a world that size you will end up with at least 1.5 - 2TB being used
no
most likely not anywhere near tat
that*
You just said 100k was 1.1TB
Logic would dictate adding 50k would add at least 500GB since it’s exponential
Usually ppl mean radius when they say their world size but I could be wrong
radius
150k by 150k is 75k radius
way bigger if its 150k radius yeah
I’ve heard lots of people say they had a 20kx20k world and turns out they’re talking about radius bc that’s what they set the world border at
@Louis_Dew is the radius 150k or the diameter
sure but you cant base every question on that imo
Diameter
Ok then DK is right it’ll probably be around 600-800GB, and worth pregenning if you’ve got the storage
Hmm alright thanks! I will prob have to upgrade the storage. What diameter would be around 200GB?
My 50k + a little world is 300GB
Actually no
So 50k x 50k is around 300GB
Im wrong
That includes my Bluemap
So it’s probably around 150Gb ish
Damn bluemap takes some storage O_o
It takes about as much as the world itself lol
Thats why I'm not a fan of bluemap tbh
My MySQL db for Bluemap is 400GB+, and I have my main world map for the server it’s hosted on stored locally, so that’s another 200GB or so
Thats a lot
Like 600GB of storage for Bluemap alone
What server provider do you use for your server and your storage if I may ask?
I have a dedi with roboticnode
Is pretty good, had some issues with the subnet we were using recently but it got sorted. Performing very well
We ran a 92k per hour cobblestone farm with not even a 0.01 drop in tps
Very nice
