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

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

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 cmd

Ok 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

Chunky calculates it's radius in blocks, confusing the user if they are not aware of this
you can add c after radius like 256c
