What ChunkCarts Wont Do

What ChunkCarts Will Not Do

Deliberate refusals, not a roadmap. Each of these has been considered and declined for a reason.

No craftable chunk loader item

The entire premise is that chunk loading is a side effect of genuine travel. An item that loads chunks is a chunk loader with extra steps, and adding one would make every other guarantee on this wiki meaningless.

No station signs, no route definitions, no scheduling

No speed boosting

No per player permissions

Beyond the single chunkcarts.admin, covered on Commands.

No Folia support

Folia's regionised tick loop means genuinely concurrent chunk ticket state. Races there surface on other people's servers weeks later rather than in testing, which is the worst possible place for a mod whose value is a safety claim to be wrong.

Where the first three belong instead

Station signs, route definitions, scheduling and speed control are TrainCarts' territory, and it does them well. There is no reason to build a worse second version of a mod that already exists.

ChunkCarts does one thing and makes a promise about it. The refusals above are what keep that promise narrow enough to be worth anything.

Automatic unloading at unattended stations

This one is asked for most often and is not on the list above, because it is not a flat refusal so much as an arithmetic problem. It has its own page, including the two options that do work.
