🟠 Requirements & Recommendations

• Required: WorldEdit or FastAsyncWorldEdit

• Recommended:

  • EliteMobs for boss fights
  • WorldGuard for region protection
  • Note: EliteMobs-specific packs (Shrines 1 & 2, Caves & Lost Civilizations Free & Premium) require EliteMobs.

⚠️ Do not use AsyncWorldEdit — it will break things.

🟠 Performance hints

Open performance tips

For normal servers

1. Check your server view distance. This is in server.properties. Higher view distances generate exponentially more chunks — a view distance of 40 can result in ~5000 chunks loaded per player.

For low‑end servers

1. Make sure you have enough RAM. Rough guideline: ~3 GB total available for the server (Minecraft + plugins), not that BetterStructures itself uses that much.

2. Alternatively, pregenerate your world. Use /bs pregenerate or a world pregenerator such as Chunky with BetterStructures installed to bake structures into the map. After generation, BetterStructures uses essentially no power. Downside: you can’t add new structure packs to that world without generating a new one (same as vanilla).
