SIZE AREA BEST FOR

3000 9 km2 Solo, duo, low population

3500 12.25 km2 Common default

4000 16 km2 Typical busy vanilla server

4500 20.25 km2 Big servers

A rough rule is one player for every 100 to 150 m of map edge, so 3000 suits about 30 to 45 players and 4500 about 45 to 67. Larger maps generate more monuments. Servers can go from 1000 to 6000, but under 3000 feels cramped and over 4500 feels empty unless the server is full.

Set it with the launch option +server.worldsize (metres). Change it only at a wipe, together with the seed, because the map regenerates.

The size and seed together decide the whole map. Two servers with the same pair play the same island.
