I’ve run a 8000 block render on this Mac and it takes about a day to complete, it’s all dependent on your server more powerful hardware will generate faster. While your world pre-generates grab a coffee or go to sleep.
Chunkmaster gives us updates as the world renders along with an ETA for render completion. CPU usage should spike while Chunkmaster does it’s thing. You’ll see that the terminal window says a generation task for world has been created. The larger the radius of your circle the longer your render will take.Įnter the following: chm generate world 3000 circle Let’s render a 3000 block circle around spawn to start. Wouldn’t recommend using this if you’re rending and playing on your low spec machine. Note that pre-rendering will halt if you’re playing on the server, you can override this by typing in ‘chm resume’ while playing.

You already have knowledge of how to download and run Spigot/PaperMC jar filesĭownload all of your files you need, in my case I’ve used the following server and plugin files: Disclaimer on this method would be to be cautious on your entity amounts and redstone creations as these will ultimately impact your server performance. Initial load of server and plugins took several minutes upon launch for CPU usage to settle. The server was playable and even teleporting to different locations with the pre-generated area was quick and easy with minimal CPU usage. Using this process to pre-render chunks allowed me to run a spigot server with 20 plugins on this Mac Mini. Many server guides will tell you to just turn down render distance to gain performance.

Hardware is a 2010 Mac Mini Core 2 Duo 2.4GHZ machine with 8gb ram running Mac OS 10.13.6 (High Sierra). Adding plugins only exacerbated this performance issue. Without pre-generating the world running a Spigot or PaperMC jar server on this Core 2 Duo was that it was playable, but the machine struggled to render new chunks in the world quickly leading to missed ticks with just one player. I had hopes of also using the machine to host a dedicated Minecraft world because why not? Not long ago I purchased a Mac Mini to serve as a Time Machine, and Content Caching server on the network. Utilizing Chunkmaster is a game changer for low spec server hardware and should also be considered for high traffic servers as well. We will be using the chunkmaster plugin to pre-render chunks enabling a much faster world on a low spec machine.
The below should work for any low spec machine, I’ve used this process with a raspberry PI with good results as well.
