Hey! First time poster here. I just discovered MC-server a few days ago. Super cool project! So, I ran into the problem that a lot of people have run into, I'm sure. My Raspberry Pi has trouble generating chunks on the fly when I am exploring the world. To solve this, my thought was to pre-generate chunks by setting "pregenerateDistance" in the "World.ini" file to 100 instead of the default 20. This causes 10,000 bits to be generated on the start of the server (hopefully this works as i think it does). But, this method takes FOREVER to generate those bits, because the Pi isnt a powerhouse.
So, really my question is: How can I pre-generate a large world so that the Pi wont be bogged down while my friends and I are playing on it?
I did find a tool on Windows that will pre-generate a world. But, every time I would transfer the world over to the Pi, it didnt work. (I followed the steps where you replace the files in the "region" folder with the ones from the new world. But, it never seemed to work). Maybe I am doing something completely wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
