How to Use Chunk Generators in Minecraft

Note:

In this article, we will explain how to pregenerate chunks in a Minecraft world using the Chunky plugin (compatible with Paper, Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge).

Pregenerating chunks is especially useful on servers because the server only needs to read the data from already created chunks, instead of generating them from scratch which saves RAM and CPU resources.

1. Enter the Command /chunky radius <number>

If you are playing in a singleplayer world, you can set the pregenerator to a ‘busy area radius’, which is around 5,000 to 8,000 blocks.

However, if you are playing on an SMP, you can set this radius to a value between 10,000 and 20,000 blocks.

2. Enter the Command /chunky start

This will start the pregeneration of the defined radius area.

3. Check the Pregeneration Process

If you’re playing in singleplayer, you’ll see a progress bar at the top of the screen, which indicates the progress and remaining time for the pregeneration of chunks:

However, if have a server you can see the chunk pregeneration process in real time on the console:

---

4. Pause or Stop the Pregeneration Process

If you want, you can pause the pregeneration process with the command: /chunky pause.

You can also cancel the process with the command: /chunky cancel.

->  Pregenerate Chunks in the Nether or the End

You can pregenerate chunks in the Nether or the End without having to go directly to those dimensions.

1. Enter the Command /chunky start world_nether

Make sure you have previously entered the /chunky radius command.

---

2. Enter the Command /chunky start world_the_end

Make sure you have previously entered the /chunky radius command.
