How do I know when DH is finished pre-generating LODs?

I'm stood 0,0 in a singleplayer world with DH turned up to

I Paid For The Whole CPU

I Paid For The Whole CPU

. I pre-genned the chunks with Chunky with 5000 blocks radius.

Solution

With stable 2.2 in F3 there are worldgen tasks, if it stays at

0/X (in progress: 0)

0/X (in progress: 0)

it is finished

On nightly 2.3 there is a message that shows the progress and the estimatedtime it will take every couple seconds

Will it generate beyond what I've pre-generated with Chunky?

By default, yes, DH pregererates chunks up to your DH RD, using Chunky is also slower then running just DH and can cause issues

Using Chunky's pregeneration and Distant Horizons at the same time is known to cause LODs to turn into swiss cheese as can be seen in the attached screenshot.

Distant Horizons has a built-in LOD pregenerator called Distant Generation. However, Distant Generation only saves the LODs, not the vanilla chunks. This is in order to save file space, as pregeneration often leads to huge file sizes.

If you actually want to pregenerate vanilla chunks along with LOD data, remove Distant Horizons, use chunky to pregenerate, and add Distant Horizons back. Once the pregeneration is done and Distant Generation is enabled, Distant Horizons will convert all the pregenerated, saved chunks, inside your DH Render Distance to LODs.

If you only want the LOD data and don't need the vanilla chunks, use Distant Generation instead of Chunky's pregeneration.

Note, these issues may not only occur with Chunky, but also with other similar pregeneration mods.

If you want to pregen with vanilla chunks saved set the distant generation mode to Internal Server mode and install C2ME mod
If you want DH to only touch chunks pregenerated by chunky set the distant generation mode to pre-existing only

Internal server is only available on nightly 2.3
