What’s New:

Pre-Generator Feature:

• Built in async pregenerator feature that allows for efficient world generation. This feature is accessible through the /pregen command, with customizable parameters for chunks per cycle and print update delay.

• Works best on paper servers, on none paper servers the async functionality will not be used. Recommend you go into your paper server paper-global.yml and update these.

chunk-system:
  gen-parallelism: 'true'
  io-threads: 12
  worker-threads: 12

• Adjust io-threads and worker-threads to match your CPU’s thread count. Default settings utilize only half.

• Usage: /pregen chunksPerCycle PrintUpdate(DelayinMinutes)

  • For "chunksPerCycle" It’s recommended to match the number of threads your system has. For example, 12 threads yielded 50-80 chunks per second on a 5600x CPU, depending on server activity and other system tasks.

• I left some headroom on CPU usage to decrease the likelihood of unintended block updates. I don't recommend playing while the pregeneration is happening, you can just let it run for a while if you don't want to play in a server and just want to generate the world, about 24 hours should be good enough.

Command Updates:

• Removed the "/sgon" command, eliminating the need for user-triggered commands to turn on SkyGrid generation. It now starts automatically during the first boot or subsequent server restarts/reloads. This modification improves the user experience by providing a more user-friendly and automated approach to SkyGrid generation, making the plugin more intuitive for server administrators.

This update is all about making your life easier and your server more efficient. I have been testing pregen for the last two months, if you run into any issue, please let me know (here).
