[SpongeForge] Worlds unloaded on start?

Hey,

There used to be this epic feature inside of MCPC+/Cauldron that basically made it where whenever you started your server, the only world that would be loaded would be the Overworld, and all other worlds would be unloaded until there was a request to load that world.

This would help settle TPS issues from other worlds and them ticking the server to death whenever you had 30+ worlds. Is there a feature anywhere that could simulate this?

Thanks,

If you havn’t already, consider reading the docs.

https://docs.spongepowered.org/stable/en/server/getting-started/configuration/sponge-conf.html?highlight=keep%20spawn%20loaded

The option you are looking to disable is keep-spawn-loaded I believe.

This can be overridden on a world by world, or dimension by dimension basis.

I have indeed read the documentation, I must’ve skipped over that. I appreciate you pointing it out, though you could’ve been a tad bit nicer when pointing it out.

I think this should do what I need it to do, let me check if it lowers the tick for those particular dimensions to 0.

It seems I am still getting reasonable ticks from the other worlds. This adds up a lot whenever you have ~30 of them, is there anyway to lower this to absolute zero?

Apologies, what could I have done better?
I’ve been putting effort into watching my tone, and truly appreciate any feedback as I’m trying to keep this a positive community. To be explicit, If you havn’t already, wasn’t meant as sass, but genuinely only trying to guard the next suggestion to read the docs, otherwise just saying “Read the docs” would imply you hadn’t even if you had?

It seems I am still getting reasonable ticks from the other worlds. This adds up a lot whenever you have ~30 of them, is there anyway to lower this to absolute zero?

I’m somewhat aware of things similar to this issue crossing our issue tracker, just not sure of it’s current status.

@phit any ideas?

Looks like those dims still have their spawn chunks loaded, besides keep-spawn-loaded try also setting load-on-startup to false.

Also in general for the configs you edited, doublecheck that you set config-enabled=true, I’ve been seeing a lot of people not doing so.

Hey,
Sorry, yeah just seemed a bit harsh toned, you’re fine though. I am appreciating the help.

@phit
Trying this now, will report back, I think I had that set to true, and the keep-spawn : false, with load-on-startup to false too.

@phit

I’ve gone through all of the configs, and set:

config: true
load-on-startup: false
keep-spawn-loaded: false

There’s no one of the server, so this can account for the low tps of the overworld, I feel like this might be good enough, though they still seem loaded somehow somewhere.

EDIT:

Lied, they jump up to 0.1 again after someone joins.

EDIT 2:

Lied again, for some reason some configs reverted, not sure. Changed them again and they stayed this time. However some of the worlds won’t unload their spawns/world. Configs seem fine. Continuing to check.
