Pregenerating chunks

Server Discussion
1

Howdy!

I’m trying to find a way to generate a 6000 x 6000 map of a fresh server. I am used to doing this via WorldBorder (/wb fill) and /dynmap fullrender, but as WorldBorder is not available as a mod, I am wondering if there’s another mod / Sponge Plugin that I can use to pregenerate the chunks in a 1.8.9 SpongeForge. Admin Command Toolbox and ForgeEssentials don’t seem to work

Thank you in advance! :slight_smile:

AFAIK dynmap is available for forge and if you are using SpongeForge you should be able to use it

It’s not Dynmap that’s the problem, it’s the lack of a mod to pregenerate the chunks before a fullrender.

Pretty sure DynMap can pregenerate chunks. Been a few years since I used it so I might be mistaken

5

Nope, dynmap can’t do that ^^
However it should not be very difficult to create a plugin like it…

That would be extremely helpful if someone could - I’m hopeless when it comes to Java :confused:

Ok idk if it’s been released for 1.8.9 but JourneyMap Server might be of use for that

8

JourneyMap is indeed available however not sure it provides pregenerating chunks

9

The client version doesn’t but the Server version does via the AutoMap feature

Tried Journeymap, didn’t really help. Why can’t we just have a lightweight chunk pregen Sponge plugin?

11

With tools like worldpainter why is anyone still using default world gen?

12

There are many custom world gen plugins/mods for which pregeneration would be useful.

13

You could try the 1.8 pre-release for this mod.

I am using the Realistic Terrain Generation mod on the server, not vanilla. Otherwise I wouldn’t be here asking how to pregen the chunks in Sponge/Forge in the first place.

The functionality is there, but sadly, I couldn’t find any plugins that use that (maybe there are some hidden complications?). I’m sure someone will eventually react to topic in Plugin Requests, and would write plugin for that.

I really need this as well, forgeessentials is broken and does not pregen chunks, I tried to get support in their irc channel without any success.

I have not found any sponge plugin that will pregen the chunks.

I’ve added this feature to Project Worlds.
