How to decrease lag using Chunky

For many servers experiencing lag due to a large amount of terrain being constantly generated by players, pre-generating chunks may be the solution to the problem, to do this, we first need Chunky installed, a Forge/Fabric mod available for Minecraft versions above 1.16.5.

1. Download the proper mod version for your Minecraft Server from: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/chunky-pregenerator-forge/files. If you are using Forge, download it from : https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/chunky-pregenerator

Chunky is also available as a plugin for Spigot/Paper servers through https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/chunky.81534/updates

1. Put the downloaded .jar file into your mods folder, located in your root file directory.

Select mods if you are using Chunky as a mod on Fabric or Forge servers, otherwise, just drop it into your plugins folder.

Then start your server as usual.
