# **What’s New:**
## **Pre-Generator Feature:**
- Built in async pregenerator feature that allows for efficient world generation. This feature is accessible through the /**pregen** command, with customizable parameters for chunks per cycle and print update delay.
- Works best on paper servers, on none paper servers the async functionality will not be used. Recommend you go into your paper server **paper-global.yml** and update these.
```
chunk-system:
gen-parallelism: 'true'
io-threads: 12
worker-threads: 12
```
- Adjust **io-threads** and **worker-threads** to match your CPU’s thread count. Default settings utilize only half.
- Usage: /**pregen** _chunksPerCycle_ _PrintUpdate_(DelayinMinutes)
- For "**chunksPerCycle**" It’s recommended to match the number of threads your system has. For example, 12 threads yielded 50-80 chunks per second on a 5600x CPU, depending on server activity and other system tasks.
- I left some headroom on CPU usage to decrease the likelihood of unintended block updates. I don't recommend playing while the pregeneration is happening, you can just let it run for a while if you don't want to play in a server and just want to generate the world, about 24 hours should be good enough.
## **Command Updates:**
- Removed the "**/sgon**" command, eliminating the need for user-triggered commands to turn on SkyGrid generation. It now starts automatically during the first boot or subsequent server restarts/reloads. This modification improves the user experience by providing a more user-friendly and automated approach to SkyGrid generation, making the plugin more intuitive for server administrators.
This update is all about making your life easier and your server more efficient. I have been testing pregen for the last two months, if you run into any issue, please let me know ([here](https://github.com/DavidS-Repo/SkyGridx/issues)).
