Chunky is a powerful utility mod designed to significantly enhance the Minecraft experience by pre-generating world chunks. This addresses a common issue where players encounter lag spikes and long loading times as new areas of the world are explored for the first time. By proactively creating these chunks, Chunky ensures smoother gameplay, especially on servers with many players or in worlds with extensive exploration. It aims to eliminate the performance bottlenecks associated with on-the-fly world generation, making exploration and gameplay more fluid and enjoyable for everyone involved in the Minecraft world. This mod operates by allowing users to initiate and manage chunk generation tasks. It provides granular control over the process, enabling players to start multiple generation tasks simultaneously to maximize CPU utilization, or to pause ongoing tasks and resume them later, saving progress. Chunky displays detailed information about the generation process, including the number of chunks processed, the percentage of completion, estimated time of arrival, and the rate at which chunks are being processed. It also offers flexibility through custom world shapes and optional integration with world borders, further refining the pre-generation process to meet specific player needs and world designs. Chunky is compatible with a wide range of Minecraft versions, including 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, and versions 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2. It supports numerous server and client loaders, specifically Bukkit, Fabric, Folia, Forge, NeoForged, Paper, Spigot, and Sponge. The mod's installation is flexible, as it can be run on either the client or the server, or both, depending on the user's requirements. This versatility ensures that Chunky can be integrated into various server setups and single-player experiences without significant compatibility hurdles. To install Chunky, place the mod file into the appropriate mods folder for your chosen loader. For Forge and NeoForged, this is typically the 'mods' folder within your Minecraft installation directory. For Bukkit, Paper, Spigot, and Folia, it would be the 'plugins' folder on your server. Before launching, ensure that you have the correct version of the mod installed for your Minecraft version and loader. On dedicated servers, users will need operator privileges to use Chunky commands, which can be granted via the server console. In singleplayer, enabling cheats might be necessary for older versions, achievable through world creation settings or the 'Open to LAN' option.
