FTB Chunks & Offline Chunk Loaders#
Changes to FTB Chunks#
FTB Chunks on our server no longer remain permanently loaded while you are offline.
Normal Force-Loaded Chunks stay active only while you are online.
If you want chunks to continue running while you are offline, use the separate Offline Chunk Loader system.
FTB Chunks#
With FTB Chunks, you can claim areas of the world for yourself or your team and keep selected chunks loaded.
Claimed chunks help protect your base, machines, and resources from unwanted interaction by other players.
You can manage them either through the FTB Chunks map or by using commands.
Managing Chunks on the Map#
The FTB Chunks map provides several useful actions:
- Left-click a chunk → Claims the selected chunk.
- Left-click + drag → Claims multiple chunks at once.
- Right-click a claimed chunk → Removes the claim from that chunk.
- Shift + Left-click a claimed chunk → Marks that chunk as Force-Loaded.
- Shift + Right-click a Force-Loaded Chunk → Removes Force-Loading from that chunk.
Force-Loaded Chunks are marked accordingly on the map.
FTB Chunks Commands#
Many FTB Chunks functions can also be accessed directly through commands.
Claiming Chunks#
/ftbchunks claim
Claims the chunk you are currently standing in.
/ftbchunks claim [Radius]
Claims multiple chunks around your current position.
Viewing Chunk Information#
/ftbchunks info
Shows information about the chunk you are currently standing in.
/ftbchunks info <x> <z>
Shows information about a specific chunk using its chunk coordinates.
Depending on the version, a dimension may also be specified.
This can be useful for checking whether a chunk is already claimed or which team it belongs to.
Force-Loading Chunks#
/ftbchunks load
Marks the claimed chunk you are currently standing in as Force-Loaded.
/ftbchunks load [Radius]
Marks multiple already claimed chunks in the specified area as Force-Loaded.
Removing Claims#
/ftbchunks unclaim
Removes the claim from the chunk you are currently standing in.
/ftbchunks unclaim [Radius]
Removes claims from multiple chunks in the specified area.
/ftbchunks unclaim_all
Removes all claims belonging to your team or assigned to you through your team.
Additional Commands#
/ftbchunks block_color
Shows the color FTB Chunks uses for the block you are currently looking at.
This command is rarely needed during normal gameplay and is mainly useful for map or display-related purposes.
/ftbchunks waypoint add <Name> <x> <y> <z> <Dimension> <Color>
Creates a waypoint through FTB Chunks.
For normal waypoints, managing them through the map is usually more convenient.
Claims, Force-Loading, and Offline Loading#
These three features serve different purposes and should not be confused with each other.
Claim#
A Claim assigns a chunk to you or your team and is mainly used to protect your area.
Depending on the server configuration, other players may be unable to:
- break blocks
- place blocks
- use machines
- open inventories
inside a claimed chunk.
However, claiming a chunk does not automatically mean that it stays loaded.
Force-Loaded Chunk#
A Force-Loaded Chunk stays loaded even when you move far away from it.
This allows things such as:
- machines to continue working
- cables and logistics systems to remain active
- farms to continue running
On our server, normal Force-Loading only works while you are online.
Offline Chunk#
An Offline Chunk remains loaded even while you are offline.
This does not use the normal FTB Chunks Force-Loading system. Instead, it uses our separate Offline Chunk Loader system.
Offline Chunk Loaders#
The Offline Chunk Loader system has been extensively adjusted.
Offline Chunks can only be used starting from the Iron rank.
They are especially useful when resources should continue to be collected or machines should continue running while you are not on the server.
Offline Chunk Commands#
/offlineload
Shows all available commands for the Offline Chunk Loader system.
/offlineload add
Enables Offline Loading for the chunk you are currently standing in.
/offlineload list
Shows an overview of:- your available [OFFLINE] Chunkloads
- your currently offline-loaded chunks
- their chunk coordinates
You can use [UNLOAD] to remove a loaded chunk directly from this overview.
/offlineload unload
Removes the chunk you are currently standing in from Offline Loading.
/offlineload unload [<dimension>] <x> <z>
Removes a specific chunk from Offline Loading using its dimension and chunk coordinates.
Offline Chunk Runtime#
Normal Force-Loaded Chunks#
The number of normal Force-Loaded Chunks has been increased for some ranks.
However, these chunks are loaded only while you are online.
They therefore do not replace Offline Chunks.
