## How to Pregenerate Chunks with Chunky

### Installing Chunky

1. **Navigate to the Installer**

   * Go to the **Plugin Installer** or **Mods Installer** in the server dashboard.

2. **Search for Chunky**

   * Use the search bar to locate the **Chunky** plugin or mod.

3. **Install Chunky**

   * Click **Install** to add Chunky to your server.

4. **Restart the Server**

   * Restart the server to activate the plugin or mod.

### Running Chunky to Pregenerate Chunks

1. **Access the Server Console**

   * Navigate to the **Console** tab in your server dashboard.

2. **Radius**

   * For a 5000-radius generation, use the following commands:

     * `/chunky radius 5000`

3. **Start Chunk Generation**

   * Run the command `/chunky start` to begin generating chunks within the specified area.

4. **Monitor Progress**

   * Use `/chunky progress` to check the status of the chunk generation.

   * Use `/chunky cancel` to stop the process completely.

### Tips for Efficient Chunk Generation

* **Run During Off-Peak Hours**: Pregenerating chunks can use significant resources, so perform this task when fewer players are online.

* **Allocate Sufficient Resources**: Ensure your server has enough CPU and RAM to handle the chunk generation process.

* **Monitor Resource Usage**: Use server monitoring tools to keep track of performance during the generation process.

  Chunky is highly configurable. Refer to the plugin or mod documentation for advanced settings and commands.
