Performance hints
Open performance tips
For normal servers
- Check your server view distance. This is in
server.properties. Higher view distances generate exponentially more chunks — a view distance of 40 can result in ~5000 chunks loaded per player.
For low‑end servers
-
Make sure you have enough RAM. Rough guideline: ~3 GB total available for the server (Minecraft + plugins), not that BetterStructures itself uses that much.
-
Alternatively, pregenerate your world. Use a world pregenerator with BetterStructures installed to bake structures into the map. After generation, BetterStructures uses essentially no power. Downside: you can’t add new structure packs to that world without generating a new one (same as vanilla).
