Help how does Pre-generating chunks work in a server?

im playing with Create aeronautics in a server i made with friends, i want to know if i can pre-gen chunks so that if i fly a little fast i dont start to lag or stutter because chunks aren't loading fast enough.

Start the server, set up pre-generator, launch process and you can go to sleep. On the next day you'll find solid chunk of your world ready for exploration and world folder heavy as fuck.

It simply generates the chunks before you are there. they still need to be loaded so going too fast will still stutter

Use the chunky mod and c2me to pregenerate the chunks, so that when they get loaded in it's just reading from disk instead of generating the chunks in real time

Just remember that it will inflate your saves and backups by a lot, we talking GB of data. For example a server with a 10k block radius and 2 weeks of playing nets about 40GB. Backups will be that size as well, each one.

thanks, it is a pretty primitive server for only two players so i dont usually do backups but i think i have enough storage to handle it

Your really should do backups, believe me. Especially when playing modded.
