Best way to quickly generate a lot of area
When I first used this mod it allowed me to use chunky to generate the chunks but now that is incompatible. What is the best way to get a large area loaded right now

I do have the mod installed on the server
Do you want to save chunks as well?
!chunky
Using Chunky to pregenerate for DH is not recommended for several reasons. The first one is the swiss cheese that might show up when using chunky while DH is installed. The second reason is that it's pointless, as DH has a build in pregenerator that is better integrated than chunky:
- It saves space by only storing LODs, not normal chunks
- It is faster to use DH's pregenerator to generate the LODs than first using chunky to generate the normal chunks, and then using DH to convert the normal chunks to LODs
- It is part of DH, and therefore always/only called when DH needs it
- Chunky calculates it's radius in blocks, confusing the user if they are not aware of this
Distant Horizons' built-in LOD pregenerator is enabled by default, and can be sped up or slowed down by changing the
Cpu Load in DH's settings, or disabled by turning off Distant Generation.
If you want to pregenerate both LODs and normal chunks, set the Distance Generator Mode to Internal Server under Advanced, World Generator. This will of course take up quite a lot more storage space. Make sure you have C2ME installed if you want to use Internal Server, as the generation speed will be crap if you don't.
Note, this also applied to other similar pregeneration mods.
This is on a server and I have tried chunky already with no luck
So the regular distant generator is out of the question
read the 2nd part of the message
The generator is not functioning at all
It could be because it isn't turned on at the server but if distant generation is turned on by default it should be on
its on by default on server and client. If you want to pregenerate you need to run the pregen command
dh pregen start overworld 0 0 256 for example
and if you want to save chunks as well:

Do I run that from the server command line or from a player online
the command for that is
dh config generation.mode INTERNAL_SERVER
a op user is essentially the same as cmdOk
Thanks
Using any /dh command doesn't work on the server
Like there is no auto fill after I write /dh like in any other command
And it doesn't seem to think it is a command at all
then run it in the console
Doesn't work
Same error
In the wiki for the plugin it says you have to enable some things for the /dh command to work
Could that be
oh you're using the plugin
No
I am not using the plugin
why are you on the plugin wiki then
I was looking in that wiki
Idk
I cant send the logs right now but I will when I get back
Chunky calculates it's radius in blocks, confusing the user if they are not aware of thisyou can add c after radius like 256c
Is this the server log may I ask?
yeah
it dosnt seem that dh is mentioned at all in the server log
what is the name of the DH file in the mods folder?
should i update it or smth
you need to extract the mod out of the zip :pain:
:cou:
thanks
yeah now it works
thanks for helping with my stupidity
