Persistent Bits Mod — Guide

Mechanics

Persistent Bits operates on a few core mechanics that distinguish it from other utility mods.

Chunk Loading Radius

By default, a single Chunk Loader keeps a 3x3 area of chunks (a total of 9 chunks) loaded. The loader itself sits in the center chunk of this grid. This radius is configurable by server administrators to allow for larger or smaller loading zones per block.

Visualizer System

To help players align their builds within the loaded area, the mod includes a built-in visualizer. 1. Place the Chunk Loader. 2. Right-click the block. 3. Smoke particles will appear at the center point of every chunk in the loading radius. 4. Use the vanilla F3 + G shortcut to see chunk boundaries and ensure your machines are within the particle-marked zones.

Persistence and Data Storage

All information regarding active Chunk Loaders is stored in a dedicated file named PersistentBits.dat located inside the world's data folder. This ensures that even if the mod is updated or the server undergoes a hard reset, the loaders will remember their owners and their active status.
