How to Stop Players From Loading Chunks on a Carpet AMS Server
Why you'd want this
On a technical or public server, players who wander far out can keep chunks loaded around themselves, which wastes server memory and can interfere with your own chunk-loading setups. Carpet AMS Addition gives you a single toggle to control this behavior globally.
Toggling player chunk loading
1. Make sure you have operator permissions or are on the server console.
2. Run /playerChunkLoading false to stop players from loading chunks around themselves.
3. Run /playerChunkLoading true to restore the default behavior.
4. Confirm the change by checking the chat feedback — Carpet commands echo the new state back to you.
Things to keep in mind
- This is a global setting, so it applies to every player on the server, not just one person.
- If you rely on players being present to keep farms running, turning this off will break that. Use a dedicated chunk-loading method instead, such as a chunk loader or a player bot that you control separately.
- Test the change during a quiet period before applying it on a busy server, since players may notice farms stopping when they walk away.
- The setting persists for the session according to how Carpet handles its rules; re-check it after a restart if your server reloads configs.
