Controls world loading for Bukkit. It was originally made for MCPC+ around 2 months back, designed to be used for controlling Mystcraft ages.
However, based on popular demand, here it is on BukkitDev.
Prevents configurable worlds, whose names contain the strings defined in the blacklist. E.g. if "nether" is in the blacklist, worldnether would not be loaded during startup, and world2nether wouldn't either.
Each world still takes around ~10mb for weather and others, though, if you're running MCPC+. For Bukkit, there should be no residual memory usage.
Development builds of this project can be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use them at your own risk.
The source code is available on GitHub.
This was done on a Direwolf20 Server with 52 Mystcraft Ages. Obviously, it works for Bukkit as well.
Before plugin was installed: Out of Memory
After plugin is installed: no Out of Memory, server runs fine
Not very scientific, but it definitely works. Because it runs before worlds are loaded, it can repair an already broken server.
You can control LoadControl's per-world settings
It unloads the world before world loading, therefore "rescuing" servers
It's recommended by MCPC+
Just put blacklisted strings in the blacklist in config.yml, and restart the server. When a world loads, it searches to see if the world name contains one of the blacklisted strings, and if it does, it's prevented from loading. Players can still load the world after server initialization.
