# 🟠 Performance hints

Open performance tips

**For normal servers** 1. **Check your server view distance.** This is in `server.properties`. Higher view distances generate exponentially more chunks — a view distance of 40 can result in \~5000 chunks loaded **per player**. **For low‑end servers** 1. **Make sure you have enough RAM.** Rough guideline: **\~3 GB total** available for the server (Minecraft + plugins), not that BetterStructures itself uses that much. 2. **Alternatively, pregenerate your world.** Use a world pregenerator with BetterStructures installed to bake structures into the map. After generation, BetterStructures uses essentially no power. Downside: you can’t add new structure packs to that world without generating a new one (same as vanilla).
