Citadel Chunkloading
A lightweight, command-driven chunkloader for Citadel. Define force-loaded regions by exact block coordinates or straight from your WorldEdit selection, manage overlaps safely, and keep everything persistent across restarts.
Features
- Coordinate-based loaders — define a rectangular chunkload region using precise block coordinates.
- WorldEdit integration — instantly turn your active
//pos1///pos2selection into a loader, no manual coordinate entry needed. - Two loading modes: -
always— chunks stay loaded regardless of who's online. -online— chunks stay loaded only while the owner/relevant player is online. - Overlap protection — creating a loader that overlaps an existing one triggers a warning instead of silently conflicting, with full control over how to resolve it.
- Persistent storage — loader data is saved to disk and can be reloaded on demand without a server restart.
- Full management commands — list, inspect, and remove loaders at any time.
Commands
/chunkload <x1> <z1> <x2> <z2> <type>— Create a loader over a block-coordinate rectangle.typeisalwaysoronline./chunkload worldedit <type>— Create a loader from your active//pos1///pos2WorldEdit selection./chunkload confirm(after an overlap warning) — Create the new loader anyway, allowing overlap./chunkload overwrite(after an overlap warning) — Delete the conflicting loader(s) and replace them with the new one./chunkload expand(after an overlap warning, only if exactly one loader overlaps) — Merge the new selection into the existing loader./chunkload cancel(after an overlap warning) — Discard the pending creation./chunkload remove <id>— Delete a loader by its ID./chunkload list— List every registered loader with its ID, type, dimension, and chunk range./chunkload info <id>— Show full details on a specific loader./chunkload reload— Re-readchunkloader.datfrom disk and re-apply force-load state.
WorldEdit Compatibility
Citadel Chunkloading hooks directly into your active WorldEdit selection — just make a //pos1 and //pos2 selection as normal, then run /chunkload worldedit to instantly convert that region into a chunk loader. No need to manually calculate or re-enter coordinates.
Overlap Handling
When a new loader would overlap an existing one, the mod stops and warns you before making any changes. From there you choose how to proceed:
confirmto allow the overlap anywayoverwriteto replace the conflicting loader(s)expandto merge into a single existing overlapping loadercancelto back out entirely
This prevents accidental double-loading of the same chunks and gives admins full control over how conflicts are resolved.
Requirements
- Will Require Citadel Core
- WorldEdit-based commands require WorldEdit (or a compatible fork) installed
