I wanted to give my players a way to keep specific chunks loaded for farming etc. but I wanted to use an in-game item for that instead if commands.
- Native Minecraft Version:
- 1.16
- Tested Minecraft Versions:
- 1.16
- Source Code:
- https://github.com/drusin/ChunkyArmorStands
Overview:
If an armor stand is placed and equipped with a full set of iron armor (this is configurable), the chunk that it is in will be kept in memory via KeepChunks. If the stand or a piece of its armor is removed, the chunk will not be kept in memory any more.
Configuration:
You can freely define what kind of armor should be in which slot. The default config.yml should look pretty obvious:
Commands and permissions:
/chunkyarmorstands reloadconfig (or /cas reloadconfig): reloads the configuration file so you don't have to restart the server after changing it. Needs the permission chunkyarmorstands.reloadconfig
Installation:
If you have KeepChunks: Drop the .jar into the "plugins" folder, restart the server.
If you don't have KeepChunks: install KeepChunks first, then do what it says above![]()

ChunkyArmorStands 0.0.1
Use armor stands to keep your cunks loaded (requires KeepChunks)
