FTB Chunks Mod FAQ

Press the map keybind (default is M) to open the large world map, and the minimap appears in the corner of your screen automatically. You can rebind both in the controls menu if they conflict with another mod.

Open the large map, then left-click chunks to claim them for yourself. Claimed chunks show a colored border and protect your blocks from other players.

You have hit your maximum claim limit, which is set by the server or by your rank/permissions. Ask the server admin to raise your limit or check the config if you're in singleplayer.

Open the map, then shift-click (or use the chunk's context menu) on a chunk you've already claimed to toggle force-loading on it. Force-loaded chunks stay active even when you're far away, but they count against a separate force-load limit.

Right-click anywhere on the large map to create a waypoint at that spot. You can then rename it, recolor it, or delete it from the waypoint list.

Teleporting to waypoints is usually disabled by default and must be enabled in the server config or via permissions. If it's enabled, click the waypoint on the map and choose the teleport option.

Open the map's ally/team menu and add the player by name to your ally list. Allies can interact with your claimed chunks and see your shared map data, depending on the permissions you grant.

They aren't on your ally list, or the specific interaction (breaking, placing, using containers) isn't allowed for allies in your claim settings. Add them as an ally and check the per-claim permission toggles.

No — claiming, force-loading, and ally features require the mod on the server side. The minimap and waypoints can work client-side, but protection and chunk loading won't function without server support.

Lower the minimap render distance and disable entity/player markers or cave mapping in the map settings. Force-loading many chunks also costs performance, so reduce your force-loaded chunk count if the server is struggling.

You likely don't have enough claim power, which is earned by playing time or granted by server config. On multiplayer servers, claiming may also be disabled or limited by the server admin.

Open the map, select a chunk you already own, and toggle the force-load option on it. Force-loaded chunks keep farms and machines running even when you're far away, but they consume extra server resources.

There's a limit based on your force-load power, which is separate from claim power. You can check your remaining force-load capacity in the map interface, and server configs may change the cap.

Right-click anywhere on the large map to create a waypoint at that spot. You can then rename it, change its color, or delete it from the waypoint list.

Open the map's ally or team menu and add the player by name to your ally list. Allies can interact with your claimed chunks and see your shared map data.

They aren't on your ally list yet, so the claim is blocking them. Add them as an ally, and make sure the server allows ally permissions for the action they're trying to do.

Yes, but the server must have the mod installed and may restrict claiming, force-loading, or ally features through its config. Ask your server admin if claims aren't working as expected.

The minimap and map rendering can cost some FPS, especially with many waypoints or a large explored area. Force-loaded chunks are the bigger concern on servers since they keep machines and entities ticking constantly.
