Chunker

Pre-generate chunks ahead of time to reduce chunk generation overhead while players are roaming the world  

Features

• Control exact chunk-per-second pre-generation rates for great granularity over load impact while pre-genning.
• Pause chunk generation tasks if required
• Skip already generated chunks
• Get detailed chunk pre-generation stats including processed chunks, skipped chunks and generation percentage.
• Configurable optional persistent world border to keep players inside your generated chunk radius

Commands

There are permission nodes for pretty much everything, but you can grant a group/player full access by granting chunker.* a full list of available permission nodes is below:

Selection commands

• /chunker world - List all worlds available for chunk pre-generation
• /chunker world <worldName> - Select a world to control pre-generation for
• /chunker center <x> <z> - Set the center of the pre-generation selection to the specified coordinates
• /chunker center spawn - Set the center of the pre-generation selection to the world's spawnpoint
• /chunker radius <blocks> - Set the radius of the selection, e.g 100 is 100 blocks in each direction from the center
• /chunker corners <x1> <z1> <x2> <z2> - Set the corners of the selection to specific coordinates

Border commands

• /chunker border - Toggle the world border on/off in the selected world

Lifecycle commands

• /chunker start - Start generating chunks in the specified world
• /chunker stop - Pause generation of chunks in the specified world
• /chunker resume - Resume generation of chunks in the specified world
• /chunker cancel - Cancel generation of chunks in the specified world

Pregen tuning

• /chunker rate <chunksPerSecond> - Set the generation rate for chunks (default: 200)

Utility commands

• /chunker trim - (DESTRUCTIVE) deletes chunks outside of the specified region, requires confirmation
• /chunker reload - Reload the plugin
• /chunker silent - Disables chat progress update output
• /chunker quiet <seconds> - Change the progress update output frequency for both chat and console

Usage & examples

Generate chunks in a 5000 block radius in the world "default" centered on the spawnpoint

/chunker world default
/chunker center spawn
/chunker radius 5000
/chunker start
/chunker progress

Generate chunks in a 10000 block radius slowly to prevent impact in world "custom" centered on specific coordinates

/chunker world custom
/chunker center 123 321
/chunker radius 10000
/chunker rate 20 # 20 Chunks per second, 10% of the default
/chunker start
/chunker progress

Generate chunks between two sets of coordinates aggressively (requires a lot of resources), in a 20k block radius centered around spawn

/chunker world default
/chunker center spawn
/chunker radius 20000
/chunker rate 400 # double the 200 chunk per second default
/chunker start
/chunker progress

Create a world border 5000 blocks from spawn without pregeneration

/chunker world default
/chunker center spawn
/chunker radius 5000
/chunker border

Pregenerate chunks within 15000 blocks of spawn with a world border at 150 chunks per second, and trim chunks outside of the border

/chunker world default
/chunker center spawn
/chunker radius 15000
/chunker border
/chunker rate 150
/chunker start
/chunker trim --confirm
