Unloading Chunks #125

Closed olls closed 7 years ago

olls commented 8 years ago

We need to implement unloading chunks in the server when no player in using those chunks (maybe with a larger threshold than the player needs). This will reduce memory usage when exploring large amounts (minimally), and allow mobs to despawn.

We could store each player's extended edges on the server, then use those to figure out which chunks can be unloaded.

Yes, and use the get_chunks and unload_chunks to update them

There's a little problem with respawning in my current implementation. Which is now fixed 5ebe4af13055aad293f0c71ff77140db4503618b
