PreGenForge

Forge chunk pregenerator

Notes

it's not a good idea to run pregeneration on a live/production server
it's a good idea to set the server's max-tick-time property to -1 when running pregeneration

Commands

Start

Starts a standard pregenerator which generates an area of chunks.

Note - The radius is in chunks. The total length of one side of the generated area will be roughly 2 x [radius]

/pregen start [radius] - start a pregenerator centered on the world spawn
/pregen start [radius] [dimension] - start a pregenerator centered on the world spawn in the given dimension
/pregen start [radius] [x] [z] - start a pregenerator centered on the x,z coordinates
/pregen start [radius] [x] [z] [dimension] - start a pregenerator centered on the x,z coordinates in the given dimension

Expand

Starts a pregenerator but skips an inner-radius of chunks - this is useful if you have already generated an area of chunks and don't want to waste resources loading those chunks from disk into memory.

Note - Radii are in chunks.

/pregen expand [inner_radius] [outer_radius] - start an 'expand' pregenerator centered on the world spawn
/pregen expand [inner_radius] [outer_radius] [dimension] - start an 'expand' pregenerator centered on the world spawn in the given dimension
/pregen expand [inner_radius] [outer_radius] [x] [z] - start an 'expand' pregenerator centered on the x,z coordinates
/pregen expand [inner_radius] [outer_radius] [x] [z] [dimension] - start an 'expand' pregenerator centered on the x,z coordinates in the given dimension

Pause

Temporarily pause/unpause a pregenerator.

Note - paused pregenerators will start automatically the next time the server starts

/pregen pause - pause the pregenerator until unpaused
/pregen resume - unpause a paused pregenerator

Cancel

/pregen cancel - stop and remove a pregenerator

Notify

/pregen notify [true | false] - toggle pregeneration status & progress messages

Time

It might be desirable to reset the world & game time after pregenerating, as it can take a while depending on how large an area is being generated.

/pregen time [ticks] [dimension] - set the world and game time (in ticks) in the given dimension
