BetterChunkLoader

BetterChunkLoaders is a Sponge Forge plugin that adds two different types of chunk loaders for your users.

Types Of Chunk Loaders

• Online Only – This will load chunks when the player is online (Iron block)
• Always Online – This will load chunks even when the player is offline up to the number of hours specified in the config (Diamond block).

Create a chunk loader (user)

1. Add an iron or diamond block in the block you want to have as your chunk loaders' centre.
2. Click the block with a blaze road (the item can change this in the config) and an interface where you can select how many chunks around it you want to load.

You can find the latest version under releases.

Requirements

• BCLForge mod (Used so we can chunkload reliable)
• SpongeForge

The base command is betterchunkloader (with the alias of bcl), this gives the general usage and what commands are available.

metadata

As part of version 3.8.0, you can now set up metadata on the user for a few defaults.

meta name	description
bcl.world	The number of world chunk loaders a user can have.
bcl.personal	The number of personal chunk loaders a user can have.

The user currently has to log out and log in for this to take effect, this will also not work if the user has a set/added value (I am working on a solution for this)

DataSources

As part of version 3.8.2, I have introduced H2 (which is now the default). I would still recommend you to use MySQL where possible.

Permissions

You can find the up-to-date version of permission in the permissions file.

FAQ

what is the difference between a personal loader and a world loader?

A personal loader is only active when the player is online.

A world loader is active even when the player is offline.

The length of the world loader is loading after the player was last seen is defined in the config.
