Limited Chunkloading Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I install Limited Chunkloading Mod?
Drop the mod file into your server's mods folder and restart the server. It's server-side only, so players don't need to install anything on their clients.
How do I change how long chunks stay loaded after a player logs off?
Open the mod's config file and adjust the timeout value, which is measured in minutes. Lower values free up memory faster but may unload chunks players expect to persist; higher values keep things loaded longer.
Where is the config file for Limited Chunkloading?
It lives in your server's config directory alongside other mod configs. Edit it while the server is stopped, then restart for changes to take effect.
Does this mod unload chunks from other mods' chunkloaders?
Yes, it cleans up chunks loaded by other mods that use chunkloaders once the timeout passes. If a specific mod's chunks should stay loaded, you can exclude that mod in the config.
How do I exclude a mod from chunk cleanup?
Add the mod's ID to the exclusion list in the config file. Chunks loaded by excluded mods will be left alone by the cleanup process.
Will this mod break my chunk loaders or farms?
It can unload chunks that chunkloaders from other mods were keeping active, which may stop farms or machines running in those chunks. Exclude the relevant mods or raise the timeout if you rely on persistent loading.
Why are my chunks unloading too soon after I log out?
Your timeout is probably set lower than you expect, or another mod is triggering cleanup. Check the config value and any excluded mods, then raise the timeout if needed.
Does Limited Chunkloading reduce server lag?
Yes, by unloading leftover chunks that would otherwise keep ticking and consuming resources. Servers with many players logging in and out tend to see the biggest benefit.
Do players need to install this mod on their client?
No, it's a server-side mod. Only the server needs it, and vanilla or unmodded clients can connect normally.
Can I disable the mod without removing it?
You can set the timeout very high or add all mods to the exclusion list to effectively neutralize cleanup. Removing the mod entirely will restore default chunkloading behavior.
