Chunky pre-generates chunks for your server, reducing CPU usage and lag spikes since players move through already-generated chunks.
Installation
Bukkit-based servers:
- Download from SpigotMC
- Place the JAR in the
plugins folder
- Restart your server
Forge or Fabric servers:
- Download from CurseForge or Modrinth
- Place the JAR in the
/mods folder
- Restart your server
Usage
Basic commands:
/chunky radius <size> - Set radius to pre-generate
/chunky center <x> <z> - Set center point (default is usually fine)
/chunky start - Start generation
/chunky pause - Pause generation
/chunky resume - Resume generation
/chunky stop - Stop generation
/chunky status - Check progress
See Chunky’s documentation for more commands.
Example
Pre-generate a 5000x5000 chunk area centered at 0,0:
/chunky radius 5000
/chunky center 0 0
/chunky start
Large radius values can take hours. You can play while it runs, but expect some lag. Best to start it overnight.
