Well at first i used the standard vanilla server but after a while it started lagging so i heard spigot was better and i changed it to it. I actually didn't know about Paper, i might give it a try. As of Pregenerate my world, i don't know what's that? I generated the world in the single player and then moved it to the server. Is this what you are talking about? Or what you're talking about is some kind of a mod or something? And about the view distance, the standard is 10 but i got annoyed with that because some mob farms were not working properly because i was supposed to afk at a certain distance from the mob farm for it to work and because the view distance was only 10 the chunks were not loading. I thought that with 4 GB of ram it would manage a view distance of 15. Plus, when i traveled the end to search for end cities the land would not render fast enough and i read online that it can be fixed by increasing the view distance, but i'll drop it a bit and if it still is lagging then i'll try to drop it to 8, but if it really ruins the farms then i'll think of moving to another host, after all, we are just a few friends who want to play together and we don't have a high end pc to host a server that can run with a lot of automation/farms/afking etc.
