Chunky Mcchunkface FAQ

Refer to your mod's crafting guide or JEI/NEI for the exact recipe, as crafting recipes vary by modpack configuration. Once crafted, place it in the chunk you want to keep loaded and interact with it to activate chunk loading.

Yes, the chunk loader continues to work while you're offline, but it will automatically disable if all players who have interacted with it remain offline for the configurable period (default: 7 in-game days). You can adjust this timeout in the mod's config file.

Build a pyramid structure beneath the Chunky McChunkFace block using permitted blocks (similar to beacon mechanics). Each tier of the pyramid increases the loaded range; check the radius renderer (toggle with your keybind) to see the expanded area in real-time.

The mod's configuration file specifies which blocks are permitted for pyramid construction. Check your config or hover over the block in-game for details; common choices include mineral blocks or specific mod blocks depending on your setup.

Use the radius renderer by pressing its keybind (configurable) to display a translucent box showing all loaded chunks around your Chunky McChunkFace block. This updates in real-time as you modify the pyramid.

Hold a Chunk Loader item in your hand, and nearby chunk loaders will display an outline, making them easy to spot and manage across your world.

Interact with the block to toggle it off, or use the command `/chunkymcchunkface disable ` to disable a specific chunk loader remotely. Use `/chunkymcchunkface disableall ` to disable all chunk loaders in a dimension at once.

Use `/chunkymcchunkface list ` to see all chunk loaders in a dimension, or `/chunkymcchunkface list active ` to filter only the active ones.

Check that the chunk loader is actually activated (interact with it to confirm), verify the pyramid structure is built correctly with permitted blocks, and ensure the offline timeout hasn't been triggered. Use the radius renderer to confirm the chunk you want is within the loaded area.

It adds a chunk loader block that keeps a chunk, or an adjustable range of chunks, loaded continuously. The loaded area can be expanded by building a pyramid of allowed blocks beneath the loader, similar to a beacon.

It adds a Chunky McChunkFace block that you place and interact with to activate chunk loading. It also provides a radius renderer, a location outline when holding a Chunk Loader item, and moderation commands.

The Modrinth project page lists Minecraft versions 1.21.5, 1.21.8, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1.1 and 26.2.

It is available for Forge and NeoForge.

You activate chunk loading by interacting with the placed Chunky McChunkFace block. Its hourglass-inspired model shows whether it is enabled or disabled.

You expand the loaded area by building a pyramid of allowed blocks beneath the chunk loader, the same way you would with a beacon.

Yes. If all players who interacted with the chunk loader are offline for a configurable period, it turns off automatically. The default is 7 in-game days, or 140 minutes.

The config file includes Range, baseRange, offlineTime, show_time, tier1Range, tier2Range, tier3Range, tier4Range and time. These let you fine-tune base range, tier ranges and offline time.

Toggle the radius renderer with a keybind to visualize the loaded chunks with a translucent box. Holding a Chunk Loader item also makes nearby chunk loaders display an outline.

It adds /chunkymcchunkface list , /chunkymcchunkface list active , /chunkymcchunkface disable and /chunkymcchunkface disableall .
