Chunky lets you pre-generate chunks on your Minecraft server to reduce lag before players explore the world. A chunk is a 16×16 section of the world that loads when players are nearby, and generating them ahead of time helps the server run more smoothly. Chunky can run multiple generation tasks, pause and resume progress as needed, and provide real-time stats such as chunks processed, completion percentage, ETA, and generation speed.

Pre-Generating Chunks

  • Type the following command to set the world center: /chunky center x z

  • Type the following command to set the area you'd like to pre-generate: /chunky radius <number>. Replace <number> with how far (in chunks) you'd like to generate from the center (for example, /chunky radius 300).

To check the generating status, use /chunky status

To pause or resume, you can use /chunky pause to pause and /chunky resume to continue.
