trueDefault On
false Off

Arguments

true|falseOptional
true turns the rule on, false turns it off. Leave it out to show the current value.

What it does

When false, spectators flying into unexplored areas do not cause new terrain to be generated. This stops spectators from growing the world size and loading the server by flying around.
