Hello
I’m trying to figure out how I can unload chunks to lessen the server load on my Pixelmon/Sponge server. I feel that Sponge loads an abnormally large amount of chunks (3500+). At the time of this timings report, there were 48 players online. View distance is on 3.
I’ve been maintaining a Sponge version of GriefPrevention for quite some time now =). Just haven’t officially released it yet as I still have more to do but it’s getting really close.
Note: This currently will only work with SF 1368 or lower. I’m pushing a big update shortly to support latest SpongeForge builds.
I don’t think 3500 chunks is a lot divided by 48 players, considering the default view range of 10 chunks. Since that view range is square, it means each player could potentially load 400 chunks around them. One potential fix for this is to lower the view range in the server vonfig
