Summary
Pre-generating a world on a Minecraft Fabric server involves generating and loading chunks in advance to enhance server performance and reduce lag during gameplay. Server administrators can use plugins or tools to pre-generate specific areas of the world, ensuring that terrain and structures are readily available and minimizing the need for on-the-fly generation during player exploration. This process is especially beneficial for large or resource-intensive modded servers using Fabric, as it contributes to a smoother and more responsive gaming experience.
