Suggestion about lag

So i was debating whether to make "SKYBLOCK" or "PRISON" server

One question im concern about is if there are soooooo many worlds created, approximately 100+ because 1 skyblock island = 1 world will it lag server?

If on the islands also have spawner, water, and lava flow

 

I'd say make a Prison server because there are to many Skyblock servers

 

Depends on the loaded chunks.

 

Well prison would have only one world which is plot world but skyblock everytimes new user join they just create new island which mean new world?

 

Plot servers are not prison servers. Although some prison servers do have plot worlds in addition tl the main world.

 

Its just a matter of RAM. If you have enough RAM, you can have MANY worlds without any lag.

 

How many RAM do u prefer?

 

Well yes but as result prison will have less world than Skyblock right?

 

You can just start with 1GB of memory and scale up as you go. If you just go to, say, 4GB instantly, you're just wasting your money. You won't know how much you need until you actually start hosting it.

Obviously, since you wont need to create a new world for every player. What skyblock plugin are you using? I never heard of any skyblock plugins that create a new world for every new player.

In any case, if you wanted to go with skyblock, just:
- limit the world size
- unload their world after x minutes where no one is on the island or if no island members are online.

 

Keep in mind that RAM doesn't really matter very much in PocketMine, what matters more is the specs of the CPU.

 

Skyblock room17, everytime players created new island they get put in brand new world. I even checked the world folder and... there are ton of worlds

 

My server has almost 1700 sky block worlds.. xD each time a player creates a new sky block, a new world is created. Doesn't cause lag cos the sky block world is unloaded when the player leaves the server. But depends on how many players with sky block worlds are online at one time.

 

Depending on what features u have in your prison server, prison can get quite boring as your limited to what you can do as a player. With sky block players have their own world to do anything they like and the possibilities are endless. Just my opinion

 

that is true but any suggestion that will make players not bored?

 

Halloween update? Vote for coins to buy blocks?

 

IMO, dedicating a whole world for one player isn't a good idea. How about dedicating a square of chunks instead? I believe loading/unloading worlds is a heavy process.

Eg: Give each player an area of 48x48 chunks of the "skyblock" world.

 

Wont that just only last for halloween?

 

that will required an additional plugin am i right?

 

The voting for coins no. The Halloween update can give you like a month off. Then start preparing the Xmas update.

 

Java Edition Skyblock plugins are created with the sectioning system. Author most likely just gave each player a new world because it was easier to do.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this would most likely require [a lot of] edits to the main plugin. have fun rewriting stuff
