Chunky

Pre-generates chunks, quickly, efficiently, and safely

Features

  • Start one or several chunk generation tasks at the same time (if you want to leverage your CPU more)
  • Pause chunk generation tasks, saving them for later
  • Shows detailed information such as chunks processed, percent to completion, ETA, chunk processing rate, etc
  • Custom world shapes, and optional world border support with ChunkyBorder installed

Permissions

In order to use chunky you will need to either:

  • Be an operator on a dedicated server. To become an operator, someone with access to the server must run the command op from the server console.
  • Be in a singleplayer world. In older versions of chunky you may also need to enable cheats for the world. This can be done during world creation, or by using the "Open to LAN" button.

How to install Chunky

With Millida Launcher

  1. Install Millida Launcher

    The launcher is free: download it at millida.net/launcher and sign in with any nickname.

  2. Click “Install” on this page

    The launcher opens and installs the mod for Minecraft 1.16.5–26.2 on Fabric or NeoForge automatically, together with its dependencies: Fabric API.

  3. Launch the game

    A profile with it appears in the launcher: click “Play”.

Manually

  1. Install Fabric or NeoForge

    The loader must match the game version of the mod file, for example Minecraft 26.2. After installing it, a separate profile appears in your launcher.

  2. Download the file for your version

    In the version list above, pick the file Chunky-NeoForge-1.5.4.jar (345 KB) for your game version and loader.

  3. Put it in the mods folder

    The folder is inside .minecraft (Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\mods). If it does not exist, create it. Required dependencies go there too: Fabric API.

  4. Launch the loader profile

    Open “Mods” in the main menu: Chunky should be in the list.

On a server

  1. A server on Fabric or NeoForge

    The mod only works on a server with the same loader and game version, for example 26.2.

  2. File goes into the server’s mods folder

    Stop the server, put the mod file into the mods folder and start the server again.

  3. Or use the “To hosting” button

    On Millida Hosting, the button at the top of the page uploads the file to your server and restarts it for you.
