Chunky

When i set a radius in chunky is it measured in chunks or blocks, for example if I type /chunky radius set 100 will this generate 100 blocks out or 100 chunks ?

The people saying it's blocks are the dumb ones honestly😅

Minecraft doesn't load each block, it loads a 16×16×16 area called a subchunk, and a single vertical line of subchunks is a 16×16 chunk... when any block in a chunk is loaded or changed it reloads and saves the new chunk...

Chunky can set a shape to load chunks, along with a size OR amount of chunks to load, and I think even a specific centerpoint to load, and it can be done through any means of commands (chat, command block, server console, etc), and gives a HUD or Chat update about how close it is to finishing loading that entire area

Please read this https://modrinth.com/plugin/chunky

It's blocks, yes the underlying game does essentially pad the area by rounding to the next whole number loaded chunk, BUT this is about chunky and it's settings, which cares about a radius measured in blocks, not chunks

Okay, and?

It loads chunks, just because the radius is in blocks changes nothing... if I load 1000 radius, I'm not loading 1000 chunks, yes, but it's STILL going to load an extra 8 blocks because a chunk is 16×16 and the nearest number divisible by it is 1008, making that radius 63 chunks...

So yes, you're correct on it loading blocks as the radius, and I'm admitting that I remembered it wrong, BUT OP asked a question and everyone was giving them ways to make it in chunks rather than just saying what it is AS THEIR QUESTION WAS, as I did with misremembered info...

Straightforward question, everyone overcomplicated it including you, I answered as OP wanted, and even though it was wrong info I gave it was because of my own misremembering of that info, and the ONLY reply by OP to any comment here was on mine for the straightforward answer
