# ⭐ Chunk-Pregenerator Example and Recommandation ⭐

Chunk-Pregenerator can be used to pre-generate your world which will help you get rid of any lag caused by generating new chunks. We highly recommend that you do this as it really improves the overall experience on your server.

| ### VERSION 1.12.2 AND OLDER

For this version, there is only one command that you can use to start the pre-generation task:
`/pregen gen startradius ` – This will create a border with the radius (IN CHUNKS) that you specified centered on the x and z coordinates that you have specified. The shape part can be either square or circle.

Here are a few pre-generation examples:

**/pregen gen startradius square 0 0 125**

This will generate a 4000×4000 blocks square area with the center at X:0 Z:0.

**/pregen gen startradius circle 0 0 175**

This will pre-generate a circle with a diameter of 5600 blocks with the center at X:0 Z:0

The pre-generation task can be stopped/paused or continued using the following commands:
**/pregen stop** – It will ask you if you want to delete the task.
**/pregen continue** -This will continue the pre-generation task.

| ### VERSION 1.14 AND NEWER

For this version, there is only one command that you can use to start the pre-generation task:
`/pregen start gen radius ` – This will create a border with the radius (IN CHUNKS) that you specified centered on the x and z coordinates that you have specified. The shape part can be either square or circle.

Here are a few pre-generation examples:

**/pregen start gen radius myrender SQUARE 0 0 125**

This will generate a 4000×4000 blocks square area with the center at X:0 Z:0.

**/pregen start gen radius myrender CIRCLE 0 0 175**

This will pre-generate a circle with a diameter of 5600 blocks with the center at X:0 Z:0

The pre-generation task can be stopped/paused or continued using the following commands:
**/pregen stop** – It will ask you if you want to delete the task.
**/pregen continue** -This will continue the pre-generation task.

**NOTE:** The time that it takes the plugin to pre-generate the world exponentially grows depending on the radius you chose. For example, if a radius of 1000 takes one hour to complete, a radius of 2000 might take 4 hours. (Time is an example here, we can’t really pinpoint how much it will take)

Here are our recommandations for pre-generating depending on your playerbase:

**Up to 10 Players: 3000 Blocks Radius**
**10-30 Players: 5000 Blocks Radius**
**30-100 Players: 8000 Blocks Radius**

The Radius can always be changed and you can then re-run the pre-generation commands. For example, if you have originally pre-generated a radius of 125 Chunks, you can set it to a higher value like 175 Chunks and run the pre-generation commands, this will skip the already generated chunks and it will pre-generate the ones that are not generated yet.
