missing the-end world-setting -.-

Since MC 1.0 and bukkit, there's existing world_the_end. Now this cost mow more ram usages since before. Why not a server.properties setting to enable/disable the world?

Why not similar as the nether with the allow-nether option?

 

I don't think The End really takes up that many additional resources. It's an island of limited size, and although I haven't tested it, I'd bet that the terrain generator for The End doesn't make any additional islands.

and now

all fresh generated and without plugins, only essentials to check the ram usage

 

I don't know exactly how much overhead each one takes, but you've got almost twice the amount of entities in the 1509 'world' than you do the 1337 'world'. Plus I would consider ~150MB to be an almost negligible chunk of memory.

 

If I may jump in here:
Actually, 150MB of RAM are not a negligible chunk of memory. Sure, for a 2GB server it certainly is, but many of us are running private servers with ~4-8 people and limited RAM. I myself have such a server with a maximum of 600MB RAM, and since the 1.0 update I constantly have to restart the server because it's using more than 600MB RAM.
So I'd really appreciate a allow-end function..

 

yes i think exactly THIS is the point !

 

As long as the chunks aren't loaded in RAM.. surely it can't cause that much of a problem.. even on a small server. But it can be done with a plugin in all probability.
