HeatMap

🔥 HeatMap

See where your players actually spend their time.

HeatMap silently tracks player movement across your world, counting how often players cross into each chunk to build a heat picture of your server.

With that data you can find hotspots, dead zones, and traffic patterns: list the hottest chunks in chat, visualize the heat of your current chunk with particles, or export everything to CSV for deeper analysis.

Heat data is saved on a configurable interval and the tracker automatically drops the coldest chunk once a maximum is reached, keeping memory in check.

✨ Features

• 🚶 Movement Tracking — Counts player chunk crossings to measure traffic, ignoring same-chunk movement.
• 🏆 Top Chunks — Ranks and displays the most-trafficked chunks with /heatmap top [count].
• ✨ Particle Visualization — /heatmap chunk reports the current chunk's heat and spawns witch particles above it.
• 📤 CSV Export — Export all heat data to a CSV file for analysis in spreadsheets or tools.
• 💾 Auto-Save & Cap — Heat data is saved on an interval and capped at a max chunk count by dropping the coldest entry.

💬 Commands

/heatmap <top|chunk|export>      top [count] lists the most-trafficked chunks; chunk shows your current chunk's heat and spawns particles; export writes a CSV of all heat data.
