Chunkloader Guidelines
Note
You must have permission from the staff team before using any chunkloaders - see Requesting Permission below.
Warning
Staff reserve the right to disable a chunkloader at any time if it affects server performance for other players.
Guidelines
- Chunkloader use must be kept to a minimum. Chunkloader arrays are not permitted.
- Permanently active chunkloaders are limited to
(simulation distance + 1) ÷ 4, rounded down.- Typically, this means players may have up to 2 permanently active chunkloaders.
- Temporary chunkloaders for specific purposes, e.g. while a minigame is being played, may exceed this limit at staff discretion.
- Permanently active chunkloaders are limited to
- Chunkloaders must be easily disabled, with clear instructions provided on how to disable them.
- Chunkloaders should automatically turn off when no longer needed.
- e.g. a farm must disable both the farm and the chunkloader when storage is full.
- All loaded chunks must comply with existing server rules, such as our Anti-Lag Guidelines.
Requesting Permission
To request permission for a chunkloader, message @Chester with the following information:
- The intended purpose of the chunkloader.
- The exact coordinates where the chunkloader can be disabled, with instructions on how to do so.
- Any additional features, such as an auto-shutdown after a set time (e.g., "turns off after 5 minutes").
- Confirmation that you have read and understood the Guidelines above.
- (Optional) Any other relevant details, such as MSPT estimates.
If approved, the staff team will add the chunkloader to an internal spreadsheet, for our own documentation and reference.
