How to Pregenerate Chunks on Your Minecraft Server

Preloading chunks on your Minecraft server generates terrain in advance so players don't experience lag when exploring new areas. Using the Chunky plugin, you can pregenerate chunks within a set radius for the overworld, nether, and end. This guide shows you how to install Chunky and preload chunks on your Minecraft server.

Installing a Pregeneration Plugin

This is how to install and use Chunky to preload chunks on your Minecraft server using the Mods browser. Most of the plugins in our panel are for Paper or Spigot versions. You must use Paper to follow this guide. For other versions follow this guide.

1. 1
   Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
2. 2
   In the sidebar, go to Mods, open the Browse tab, and select Plugins.
3. 3
   Search for the plugin you want to install. For this example, we'll be using Chunky.
4. 4
   Click Install and start your server.

Preloading Chunks Using Chunky

Now that you've installed Chunky, this is how you begin preloading chunks:

1. 1
   Log in to Bropanel and select your Minecraft server.
2. 2
   In the sidebar, go to Console.
3. 3
   Set a radius to preload chunks by typing chunky radius <radius>.
4. 4
   To start the generation, type chunky start.

By default, this will generate the overworld, while chunky start the_nether and the_end will generate their respective zones.

Now Chunky will begin pregeneration. You can track the progress through the server console.
