NoSpawnChunks
NoSpawnChunks
What does it do?
Ever wished you could run more on less? Multiworlds taking up all your memory and noone visits them very often?
The solution is now simple: install this plugin! This plugin does one thing, and one thing only, prevents spawn chunks being loaded into memory for all worlds on the server.
What does this mean in practice?
It means you can run a 2 person server on as little as 32mb ram (including 8-10 lightweight plugins). It also means that the memory impact from having 10+ worlds enabled at once on your server is reduced to an absolute minimum.
How to install
There is no configuration, it is literally drag and drop. Just install the plugin, stop the server, and do a full restart; the plugin is now enabled, and you should notice a dramatic drop in memory footprint.
There are no known errors to using this plugin other than increased server performance ;)
Plugin conflicts
Not so much a conflict - but if you are trying to run in a low-memory situation, any plugin that force-loads chunks will ruin that for you.
Hm when I updated to 0.2 drops have started to vanish. I have few other plugins installed to but this only been reported when I updated this.
I mined 4 iron ore and only got 2 iron ore when I went to pick them up.
I'm going to try this and if it works as well as people say it does i will be in your debt
@codename_B Hey this is awesome and can you just run it against the new Minecraft 1.0.0 Craftbukkit relesed when it comes out. Thanks I use this plugin alot.
The amount of used memory this reduces is amazing. My server went from using 450MB with no players, to 50MB. Also, those asking for an update, I'm currently using it with CraftBukkit Build 1470 and it still works fine.
Yes update please this plugin is very good.
@codename_B
UPDATE PLEASE?!!?
@Sayshal
Yup.
Working for 1317+ ?
@ProjectInfinity
This also does it for the default world.
Doesn't multiverse do this already? keepspawninmemory: true is in my multiverse world configs.
I guess this works for any multi-world plugin that do _not_ have this already built in though.
Guess ill try this out :D seeing as ill have a few multiworlds once my server is up =D
wow nice.. i was at around 350mb usage before installed plugin.. now got 200-230Mb usage :D THX!
