Hello everyone.
As everyone might have noticed already there is a lot of useless loaded chunks in NamelessCraft map.
As useless I mean that there's chunks that no one lives on, nor uses them.

People over-exaggerated and explored too much chunks in our world, without even thinking that would cause it too lag or the file size would be much bigger.
Right now the size of our world is 3.6GB (too much isn't it?) and dynmap is causing the server having too much lag, so we will disable it until we get this solved.

Me and Nathan were thinking that we could unload the chunks of our map, but it's not possible in game, we will have to use a software called MCedit to unload them. And then upload them back to the host, that would take a few hours! =P
But either way, it would help alot with lag and the file size.

Please give us your opinion and discuss about this.





So this is the graphs of the chunks I am thinking to unload from our map.
The roads between the fake spawn and original spawn are kinda useless in my opinion, because no one uses them at all, everyone uses the nether for travelling.
Also, if anyone knows if there's buildings in those chunks, please let me know.
I will make sure if there's nothing there anyway, when travelling with mcedit.

Everyone agrees with this? Give me your opinions.

Anything for less lag. I'd give up a whole week of MineCraft if it would reduce lag. It only sounds logical to do so.

Why has this only started now really? It was fine on the old host.

Not now, I am speaking about general lag. And we already had this idea a few months ago but we never did it.
Also, the size counts. You are forgetting that we take long to do backups if the size is too big.

yes, go for it
I also think that the world is unnecessarily too big with "useless" loaded chunks

reducing lag would be awesome

Yes please !
That will make it easier to find horses when 1.6 comes out
And also much less lag

Hmmm is there a way to check a chuck is completely unused? I'm mainly thinking about underground buildings, that may not be obvious? Tunnels and such?

Overall I think it is a good idea though, as long as we are very selective about the chunks we unload. As Teyto says, it would be good for future updates, making things easier to find. Is this something we could do in the Nether as well, to get some Quartz closer to us all?

I agree, quartz is so far away and out of reach. Reloading the Nether chunks to get new quartz would be helpful. I need a nice flat plains area to build a wild horse center so it can be easy to find them.

I'm so glad I don't need quartz on my island
Stone all the way!

I have mixed feelings on this too. I guess if you can tell the chunk has not been built in.

if only there was an option to unload any chunk that hasn't been modded by a player.

might have to do it in pieces over a month so you don't mess anything up.

That sounds like a good idea. Glad to hear it would not take so long.
I appriciate all the work you guys do for the server. Makes the game a better expirience for all of us

sound like this might take a few weeks since it'll take awhile for us to decide what to get rid of.

but so going to be worth it i hope.

Yep, it'll make our map smaller and less laggy.

It looks good to me. Removing the long paths that leads to nowhere can really help our map load! What are in those red circles?

Some places from people who quit.

Will the strongholed that you're restoring be okay?

Ok for me :3

looks good to me. Unloading the over world dosent affect the nether right? And what stronghold are you restoring?

i see at least one big place to not remove you have Dialgia136 place in one of those blue circles. and something to add to your list that bit that goes into the ocean by me.

In my opinion you can unload all the chunks by the Hunger arena too (yes even the ones I modified) as I can go back into them I just did exploring nothing special

Looks good to me! I kinda have the urge to fill in all those black spaces around the centre of the map though...
