Fills the player's drive with dummy files. Presumably to stress test the game from crashes due to a full disk.

filldrive clear

• Deletes all dummy files generated by the game

filldrive fill <bytesRemaining: int>

• Fills the player's drive with dummy files until it has the specified bytes remaining free.
  • The files are placed under the com.mojang directory.
  • These test files are named after test_file_0.dat, test_file_1.dat, etc. Each file can be as big as 26,214,400 bytes, filled with the character *.
  • The game can freeze as it is filling up the drive due to massive disk I/O usage.
  • If you ran out of storage, the game kicks you out of the world after a few seconds running this command. The game cannot start any world until some disk space is cleared.
  • If this command is re-run, it first deletes all dummy files before filling up the drive again.

<bytesRemaining>: int

Specifies the number of bytes the game should leave in your drive.

Must be a [Int]32-bit integer number (from -2147483648 (-2³¹) to 2147483647 (2³¹-1) ). This means the maximum amount of space this command leaves is around 2.14 GB

Negative numbers are accepted. The command fills the drive entirely without any errors.
