I remember reading somewhere that when a player decides to explore outwards while your running a server, that the environment has to be generated continuasly which creates lag. I havnt a clue if its possible but would anyone know if their would be a way to create some sort of plugin which could generate more of the environment from around the spawn area so Minecraft wouldnt have to generate it while a player explore's but simply load up whats already been generated? If so would this help with lag? or would loading up this environment be just as much of a strain as generating it? I hope I've clearly explained what I mean and that it makes sense to someone. Also if it was possible then maybe allowing the user to decide just how much of the environment is generated would be a pretty cool bonus feature to have too.
