ChunkLoader

Table of Contents

ChunkLoader

This plugin allows servers to keep chunks loaded while players are not around chunks. Meaning you can keep your farms growing and your redstone ticking.

Please note that this plugin is not yet fully complete. A demo video will be added soon

Commands

Note: You can use /cl as a alias to /ChunkLoader !

User-related commands	Description
/ChunkLoader help	help command listing all commands
/ChunkLoader set	set the current chunk at your location as part of the chunk loader
/ChunkLoader remove	removes the current chunk at your location as part of the chunk loader
/ChunkLoader list	List all chunks added to ChunkLoader

This plugin is inspire by

FTB Mod pack
Railcraft: World Anchor & personal anchor
Chickenbone's Mods: ChickenChunks

What does this plugin provide

This plugin Provides a way to keep a chunk loaded in memory when the player moves away from it or logoff. I plan to make this fully customizable:

TODO List

Chunk can be unloaded if player logs off
Player can have a limit of how many chunks he can have and if he can set it.
The chunk belongs to a certain player and only he can change it
A radius can be set from that chunk (fully comiziable with config file)
Chunks can be unloaded after a certain period
Cost for the chunk to stay loaded
Cost to make a chunkloader
World Edit support

MCStats.

This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:

A unique identifier
The server's version of Java
Whether the server is in offline or online mode
The plugin's version
The server's version
The OS version/name and architecture
The core count for the CPU
The number of players online
The Metrics

notes: This plugin does work with ptweaks chunk unloading feature.

I cannot get farms to work while offline, either. Using craft bukkit 1.8.1.

I set '/chunkloader set' in the chunk where my crops are, but it does not seem to be working. I am using the latest 1.8.1 CraftBukkit.

This seems to work for farms, and redstone, only when player is on the server, but outside the chunk. Does not keep chunks loaded when no one is online, and does not work with mob farms. I will be following this, as a chunk loader is much needed on 1.8 :) keep up the good work.

Can you please add permissions and also support 1.7.9?

I want the players to add/remove but not list the chunks.

As bukkit will not be moved to 1.8 this project is pretty much at a lost. I will be moving this plugin into a forge mod or sponge plugin

it seems my plugin (ChunkLoader) might no longer be able to update I will do some test later on but it seems to be next to impossible to keep the chunks loaded using only the bukkit API

Is this still being developed?
Unfortunately I see no use for this at all, without permissions.

if this is still getting updated please add the ability for admins to tp to the chunks that are set so they can determine whether or not to leave them loaded

@Layania

i'm starting it might be near impossible to keep chunks loaded with a plugin with low CPU. is the plugin even working in 1.7.9 with this plugin?

Many change between 1.7.9 and 1.8 ?
I'm hoping 1.7.9 is good to anticipate 1.8 changes ?
