ChunkWatcher

ChunkWatcher is a lightweight mod able to block force chunkloading of specified mods.

Features

• Configurable blacklist for mods
• In-game commands
• Reloadable at runtime
• See what mods keeps chunks loaded in a certain world, and how many.

Commands

• /chunkwatcher
  shows available commands
• /chunkwatcher block <mod name>
  Blocks forcing chunks for a mod (Case insensitive).
• /chunkwatcher allow <mod name>
  Re-enables forcing chunks for a mod (Case insensitive).
• /chunkwatcher reload
  Reload the config.
• /chunkwatcher show <mod name> [dimension ID]
  Shows coordinates of the loaded chunks, for the specified mod.
• /chunkwatcher list [dimension ID]
  Provides a summary of total forced chunks per-mod.

  Example:
  

  /chunkwatcher list shows the forced chunks in your current world.
  /chunkwatcher list 0 shows the forced chunks in the overworld.
  /chunkwatcher list 1 shows the forced chunks in the end.
  /chunkwatcher list -1 shows the forced chunks in the nether.
  

  Note: As console, you must always provide a dimension ID.

How it works

ChunkWatcher listens for mods that request to force a chunk. When that happens, ChunkWatcher checks the mod's name against the configurable blacklist. If there's a match, the chunk will be unloaded immediately.

Benefits

• Server performance!
• Disabling unnecessary chunkloading by mods. Potentially allowing you to un-ban some items related to chunk loading!
• Prevent illegal chunk loading.

Limitations

Not all mods are written equally, some mods may require a chunk to be loaded in order to function at all. In most cases, though: it should work.
