How to Install and Use the Chunky Plugin

How to Install and Use the Chunky Plugin

Minecraft servers can sometimes lag due to slow world generation or heavy player activity. Chunky is a Bukkit plugin for Paper and similar servers that helps fix this by pre-generating chunks, reducing world load times and improving overall TPS performance.

⚙️ Installation¡

• Download Chunky from its Spigot page.

• Upload the .jar file to your server’s plugins folder.

• Restart your server and check with /plugins — if “Chunky” appears in green, it’s working.

🚀 How It Works

Chunky generates chunks (world regions) ahead of time, so players don’t experience lag when exploring new areas.

🧭 Basic Usage

All actions are done via commands — either in-game (with OP or permissions like LuckPerms) or directly from the server console. You can set shapes, sizes, and specific regions to pre-generate.

Common Commands:

Types of Chunky World Generation

Once you understand the Chunky commands, you can combine them to pre-generate your world in different ways. It’s best to run them from the server console instead of in-game for smoother execution.

🌍 World Border Generation

Generates every chunk within the set world border — ideal for full-world pregeneration.Commands:

worldborder set [value]
chunky world [world]
chunky worldborder
chunky start

📏 Custom Border Generation

Lets you define a custom area with specific shapes or coordinates instead of using the world border.Commands:

chunky world [world]
chunky shape [shape]
chunky center [x] [z]
chunky start

Or define corners directly:

chunky world [world]
chunky corners [x1] [z1] [x2] [z2]
chunky start

🎯 Radius Generation

Generates chunks only within a set radius around a central point — faster than full borders.Commands:

chunky world [world]
chunky center [x] [z]
chunky radius [radius]
chunky start

⚙️ Configuration

Edit config.yml in the Chunky folder.

• Keep chunks always loaded for farms or villages. After editing, use /chunky reload or restart the server.
