Minecraft servers often struggle with performance issues as they expand and more players join. One effective way to enhance server performance and improve player experience is through chunk pregeneration. This process involves generating all parts of the world in advance, so the server doesn't need to load them on-the-fly when players explore new terrain. In this article, we'll guide you through using Chunky, a popular Minecraft mod, to pregenerate worlds efficiently. This guide is suitable for server administrators hosted at BananaServers and will utilize the server panel at Peel.

What Is Chunky?

Chunky is a mod for Minecraft that allows server admins to pregenerate chunks of the game world. This ensures that the server processes large parts of the world data before players encounter them, leading to smoother gameplay and fewer performance dips. Chunky is designed to work efficiently and safely, without overloading the server.

How to Install Chunky

1. Download the Mod:

   • Visit the Chunky mod page on CurseForge at Chunky (Forge/NeoForge).
   • Download the latest version compatible with your server’s Minecraft version.

2. Upload the Mod to Your Server:

   • Log into your server panel at Peel.
   • Navigate to the Files tab and access the Mods folder.
   • Use the upload feature to add the downloaded Chunky mod file to your server’s mods directory.

3. Restart Your Server:

   • Once the mod is uploaded, restart your server to activate Chunky.

Setting Up Chunky

1. Access the Server Panel Commands:

   • After restarting, use the server’s command panel to enter Chunky commands. This ensures all commands are executed server-side without requiring action from clients.

2. Initialize Chunky:

   • Set the center of the chunk pregeneration using the command:
     bash

     Copy code

     ./chunky center 0 0
   • Specify the radius for the chunks to pregenerate with:
     bash

     Copy code

     ./chunky radius 10000
   • Start the pregeneration process:
     bash

     Copy code

     ./chunky start

3. Additional Options:

   • To pregenerate worlds other than the default Overworld, specify the world type in your command. For example, to pregenerate the Nether:
     bash

     Copy code

     ./chunky center 0 0 minecraft:the_nether

Common Questions

• Do players need to download anything?

  • No, Chunky operates server-side. Players do not need to install anything on their end.

• Where should I run the Chunky commands?

  • It's recommended to run the commands through your server panel for ease of use and to ensure they are executed on the server rather than client-side.

• Can Chunky pregenerate all world types?

  • Yes, Chunky can pregenerate the Overworld, the Nether, and the End, depending on your server setup.
