A new version has been released for Chunky, it is available for download here.

  • Added support for Java 17 instead of Java 8.
  • Added support for selecting the player’s current world with /chunky world.
  • Added a /chunky selection command to display the current selection.
  • Added a new force-load-existing-chunks configuration option, which will force chunky to load chunks even if they are considered already generated.
  • Added new Hebrew “he” translation, thanks to stinger.
  • Added new Hindi “hi” translation, thanks to programerd.
  • Added an API preview. If you’re a developer and you’re interested in making an integration, let’s chat!
  • Updated tasks to be stored in the tasks subfolder instead of in the configuration. Existing tasks will not automatically be moved or removed, so you may need to do this yourself if you want to pause and update!
  • Updated the /chunky reload command. By default it will now only reload the configuration. To reload tasks, use /chunky reload tasks instead. This change means you can now reload the configuration without needing to pause all tasks first.
  • Updated the help command to include the border subcommand when the ChunkyBorder addon is installed on the server.
  • Updated community translations from Crowdin.
  • Fixed a bug where circular selections could have an elliptical shape when selecting different radii.

A new version has been released for Chunky, it is available for download here.

This update fixes an issue where POI and entity regions were not being removed correctly when using the new experimental inhabited time trim feature introduced in last week’s update. Note that basic trimming did not have this flaw. If you were impacted, my recommendation is to re-run trim on a copy of the original world backup and replace manually using the corrected POI and entity files. If you’re unsure, or have further questions please join our Discord server and ask in the chunky support channel.
