I run a pretty active Paper 1.21 server, and we recently decided to expand our world border significantly (adding another 10k radius).
I tried running Chunky (pre-generator) on our main production server during off-hours, but even with limited threads, it was causing noticeable MSPT spikes and rubber-banding for the few players online. Plus, it was taking forever.
I decided to try a different workflow:
- I spun up a high-spec instant VPS purely for this task (looked for something with high single-core metrics).
- Uploaded the level.dat and necessary configs.
- Let it burn through the CPU at 100% usage to generate the chunks without worrying about lag or players.
- Downloaded the region files back to the main server and killed the VPS.
It cost me pennies for the few hours it ran, but it saved me days of background processing on the main node.
Is this a standard practice for you guys when doing heavy maintenance/generation? Or do you just cap the pre-gen speed and let it run for weeks in the background?
I feel like "renting CPU power" for a few hours is an underutilized strategy for admins.
