Q: I installed TerraformGenerator, why isn't it working?
A: Here are 2 common reasons why:
- You didn't install Drycell, Drycell is needed for TerraformGenerator to work.
- You didn't follow methods 1 or 2. These methods are needed in order for TerraformGenerator to generate the world.
If you did both of the fixes suggested above, you should find the startup log of TerraformGenerator, and the reason why it's disabled/not working should be there. You can always join our discord server for further support
Q: How do I pre-generate the world?
A: There are a lot of plugins that can do this, I'll list some of them:
-
Fast Chunk Pregenerator -
/fcp start <radius> [worldName] -
Chunkmaster -
/chm generate [worldName] <radius> -
Chunky -
/chunky radius <radius>then/chunky start
The commands listed can be used. However, we recommend taking a look at their respective wiki/spigot page for more information. Pregenerating the world may take some time, and a bit of resources. We don't recommend pre-generating while players are online.
Q: I got an error in the console. What should I do?
A: Depends on the error.
If you server seems to freeze, players get timed out and you see errors similar to the one below, your server is just running slow. In that case, pre-generating your world is recommended for smoother experience. If you don't get these errors often, you can ignore them. As the error message states, this is not a bug or a crash.
[14:03:15] [Paper Watchdog Thread/ERROR]: --- DO NOT REPORT THIS TO PAPER - THIS IS NOT A BUG OR A CRASH - git-Paper-344 (MC: 1.16.4) ---
[14:03:15] [Paper Watchdog Thread/ERROR]: The server has not responded for 10 seconds! Creating thread dump
[14:03:15] [Paper Watchdog Thread/ERROR]: ------------------------------
[14:03:15] [Paper Watchdog Thread/ERROR]: Server thread dump (Look for plugins here before reporting to Paper!):
The error message above might vary depending on the software you use. Spigot might create a bit different error for example, but the content should be more or less the same.
If the errors result in players being kicked out because the server is shutting down, or you get an internal error of some sort, you have probably encountered a bug. You can get support and report bugs in discord.
A note on CraftBukkit
Using TerraformGenerator on a Server running CraftBukkit may not work and could crash the server.
We recommend you use Paper as it improves performance compared to CraftBukkit and Spigot.
