Gathering Chunks

Gathering Chunks 2.2.5 - Beta 3.4 — Hotfix 2.5

Major Changes & Additions

• Added Chunk Engine (experimental, configurable)
• Added Chunk Eraser
• Added Cherry Biome Chunk Spawner
• Added Version Checker to detect outdated mod versions
• Optimized Biome-Themed Chunk Spawning
• Improved and fixed Config Menu:
  • Uses sliders instead of repeated button clicks
  • No longer resets after restarting the game
  • Fixed Min/Max chunk depth settings
  • Fixed server config handling
  • Fixed options not applying correctly (Chest command, Progression Helper, Chunk Boundaries)

World Forge & Generation Fixes

• Fixed World Scanner:

  • Now functions correctly
  • Only scans generated chunks (intended behavior)

• Fixed World Forge logic:

  • Dirt/soil now converts into fragments (instead of fragments into world cores)

  • Updated conversion ratios:

    • 8 stone → 1 fragment
    • 16 soil → 1 fragment

  • Fixed World Forge not accepting certain blocks

• Fixed Tree Placement during world creation:

  • Chunks are checked for existing logs on generation
  • If no logs are found, 2 trees are placed as a fallback
  • After validation, future chunks are no longer checked

• Fixed chunk generation edge case:

  • If a chunk’s top layer is entirely water, a plain chunk is generated instead

Chunk Engine & Spawner Fixes

• Fixed Chunk Engine:

  • No textures issue (Fabric still partially broken)
  • If the engine breaks, it now properly deletes the chunk

• Fixed Chunk Spawner placement behavior:

  • Placing on an occupied chunk shows a confirmation warning
  • Placing in the void no longer overwrites existing chunks

• Fixed Biome-Themed Chunk Spawners:

  • Correctly generate biome data instead of using the original world seed
  • Fixed biome chunks sometimes spawning as only water
  • Fixed biome-themed chunks failing to spawn entirely

• Fixed Mushroom Chunk recipe

Nether Fixes

• Prevented bedrock from spawning
• Removed lava floor
• Fixed Nether chunk generation entirely
• Fixed Nether-related fluid and chunk issues

Fluid & Physics Fixes

• Prevented fluids from flowing into the void:

  • FluidTick is intercepted
  • Flow is cancelled if the destination is void

• Fixed water randomly stopping its flow inside chunks

• Fixed Fabric-specific issue where water flowed into the void

• Fixed biome-themed chunks generating unintended water

Gameplay & Misc Fixes

• Fixed always spawning in a Village even when disabled
• Fixed lightning issues on chunks (partially resolved)
• Fixed LAN world issue where coordinates were not saved, causing players to be kicked to spawn
• Fixed Fabric issue where chunks disappeared when Chunk Engine was not present
• Fixed Chunk Boundaries being enforced even when disabled
• Fixed Progression Helper still working when disabled
• Fixed Server config desync issues

Known Issues

• Lightning issues may still occur on some chunks
