metadata

As part of version 3.8.0, you can now set up metadata on the user for a few defaults.

solution for this)

A personal loader is only active when the player is online while a world loader is active even when the player is offline) (how long after their last login can be defined in the config.

Chunkloader is a plugin which allows you to force-load chunks, which means that selected chunks won't unload, even when you're far away or not online. 
This can be useful for large redstone circuits, commandblock systems and railroads. It can also be used to reduce lag when teleporting.

- It is recommended to always use the latest version of the plugin.
- If too many chunks are selected, it can cause lag on the server.
- This plugin is using bStats. To see the data, click here.

ChunkLoader

This plugin allows servers to keep chunks loaded while players are not around chunks. Meaning you can keep your farms growing and your redstone ticking.

Please note that this plugin is not yet fully complete. A demo video will be added soon

What does this plugin provide

This plugin Provides a way to keep a chunk loaded in memory when the player moves away from it or logoff. I plan to make this fully customizable:

TODO List

• Chunk can be unloaded if player logs off
• Player can have a limit of how many chunks he can have and if he can set it.
• The chunk belongs to a certain player and only he can change it
• A radius can be set from that chunk (fully comiziable with config file)
• Chunks can be unloaded after a certain period
• Cost for the chunk to stay loaded
• Cost to make a chunkloader
• World Edit support

MCStats.

This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:

• A unique identifier
• The server's version of Java
• Whether the server is in offline or online mode
• The plugin's version
• The server's version
• The OS version/name and architecture
• The core count for the CPU
• The number of players online
• The Metrics

notes: This plugin does work with ptweaks chunk unloading feature.

BetterChunkLoaders is a spongeForge plugin that adds two different types of chunk loaders for your users.

Types Of Chunk Loaders.

• Online Only – This will load chunks when the player is online (Iron block)
• Always Online – This will load chunks even when the player is offline up to the number of hours specified in the config (Diamond block).

Create a chunk loader (user).

1. Add an iron or diamond block in the block you want to have as your chunk loaders' centre.
2. Click the block with a blaze road (the item can change this in the config) and an interface where you can select how many chunks around it you want to load.

You can find the latest version under releases.

Requirements

• BCLForge mod (Used so we can chunkload reliable)
• SpongeForge
