Server Storage

[hybrid palm]

I have a Survival Server, But it is eating though a lot of storage is there anyway to get more than 40gb of storage through Minehut server plans or is it just easier to use an external host? (if it is what Host is the Best)

[glad blaze]

You can’t specially ask which one is the best because they all have their flaws and people are biased

Idk about storage but if it does come down to the specific good ones to me it would be Apex Hosting and Bisect Hosting. They seem like the most popular.

You really shouldn't be needing more than 40gb of storage

[hybrid palm]

Yea but the world size is 20k by 20k

[glad blaze]

Blocks don’t matter with server memory

[hybrid palm]

The chunks do tho

[glad blaze]

Yeah only the loaded ones

[hybrid palm]

I’m on abt server storage not ram

[glad blaze]

Oh

o7

[hybrid palm]

I should probably research this more should I 😭

[glad blaze]

Yeah

I should too

[hybrid palm]

Wait so if it’s not my world size what would be the cause of the server storage being so high?

@strong shale

Forgive me for calling you here and accidentally calling you in discord literally.

[hybrid palm]

Is there anyway of getting more than 40gb tho??

[strong shale]

are you able to prune some of the unused chunks?

[hybrid palm]

Eh probably I did use chunky to load in 20k by 20k in the over world just to make it less laggy to load chunks

[strong shale]

I wouldn't suggest to do that xD

[hybrid palm]

Yea

It kinda uses a lot of storage…

[strong shale]

it's just isn't neccessary

[hybrid palm]

Also is there a significant difference between the pro and basic cpu?

[strong shale]

I can't recall the exact specs off the top of my head sorry

I don't think that's an issue here though

[hybrid palm]

I can prune chunks using chunky actually

That might solve the problem

[crude plank]

many large servers do that

having all chunks loaded

generating chunks is a taxing process for the cpu, and when many people do that you get BIG lag

example at 25kx25k worldborder

53 gb

you need an external host for what you wanna do

[hybrid palm]

Oml so it is just the world size causing the storage

[crude plank]

yes

[hybrid palm]

Ohhh ok

What one would you recommend??

[crude plank]

basically anything that isn't pebble, bisect, or apex

or bloom

surf has worked fine for me

surfhosting

[hybrid palm]

How difficult is it to set up an external server connected to minehut?

[crude plank]

not much given some level of technical knowledge

[hybrid palm]

Ahh alr

[hybrid palm]

Why are you using so much ram will I need that much ram😭😭😭

[strong shale]

hmm yea but.... @hybrid palm how many players are regularly on your server?

I was assuming it was just them and maybe a couple of friends

[hybrid palm]

Max of 20 abt 15

[wind minnow]

💀💀💀

40 gb is really expensive

[hybrid palm]

Fr

[wind minnow]

for a return of 20 players

[hybrid palm]

8gb I’m getting dw

[crude plank]

150-200+ players at our peak

[hybrid palm]

Dammm

[strong shale]

that's egregious :_:

if you need more than 20gb there's gotta be something wrong

[crude plank]

mostly us being sure we wouldn't run out of memory

better safe than sorry

[strong shale]

iirc it’s more harmful to have a ton
